War Brides Act

The War Brides Act, enacted in 1945, allowed the spouses and children of U.S. military personnel to immigrate to the United States after World War II, even if they did not meet the usual immigration criteria. This law was created to reunite servicemen with their families who were overseas or in war zones, recognizing the sacrifices made during the war. It facilitated family reunification by providing a more straightforward visa process for war brides and their children, helping them to settle in the U.S. after the war's end.
