An amendment to Public Law 97-359 was recently introduced to expand the legislation to include overseas children from the Philippines and Japan, whose fathers are U.S. citizens to immigrate legally into the U.S. The law already included children from Korea, Laos, Kampuchea, Thailand, and Vietnam after December 31, 1950, and before October 22, 1982, who were fathered by United States citizens.
The proposed amendment to the law would include children born in both the Philippines and Japan between certain time periods. The children in the Philippines are eligible if they were born after December 31, 1950 and before November 24, 1992 (and fathered by a U.S. citizen). The children in Japan are eligible if born after December 31, 1950 and before the date of enactment of this subclause (and fathered by a U.S. citizen). It is estimated that the numbers of people eligible to immigrate to the U.S. based on this proposed subclause are: more than 50,000 from the Philippines and 6,000 in Japan. |
