Emery Király, July 7, 1958 Treasurer IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION Question: I am a naturalized citizen who came to the United States many years ago. My wife came with me, but she returned to the country of our birth, which is now behind the Iron Curtain, with our child who was born in the United States. I now have a nice home and would like them to come over here to join me. How do I do about it? Answer: Whether your family can join you here depends not only on their meeting the requirements of the American immigration law, but first on whether they can obtain exit permits. In many Iron Curtain countries, people are not given exit permits. Therefore, before you initiate any steps on this side, you should find out from your wife whether it will be possible for her and your child to leave. Some Iron Curtain countries permit wives and children to join their husband and father abroad. Others may permit only the wife to go, but will not permit the children to leave. Often, when this is the case, mothers may not wish to leave their children. It is recommended, therefore, that you find out what the situation is abroad. Your wife, as the spouse of an American citizen, and your child, if under 21 and unmarried, are eligible to receive a non-quota visa. Children over 21 are eligible for a fourth preference, but this is oversubscribed in many Iron Curtain countries.
