Borshy, President Hungarian Reformed Federation of America 1801 “P” Street, N. W., Washington, 1). C. Dear Mr. Borshy: Your communication of March 26, 1961, to the President concerning the Hungarian issue has been referred to the Department of State for reply. Your interest in making known your views and those of the Hungarian Reformed Federation is appreciated. I assure you that the Department of State continues to be deeply concerned about the plight of the Hungarian peoples. The enclosed statement by the United States representative to the Credentials Committee of the United Nations may be of interest to you. Sincerely yours, For the Secretary of State: DAGMAR FRAHME, Office of Public Services XX XX CAN I GET A VISA FOR MY FATHER BEFORE I BECOME A CITIZEN? Question: My father has been on the waiting list for an immigrant visa since 1956. I am a permanent resident of the United States, but will not be eligible for citizenship for two years. Is there anything I can do before then to obtain a preference for my parents? Answer: You will have to wait until you become a naturalized American citizen. Then you will become eligible to apply for a second preference on behalf of your parents, who will then be able to immigrate if that preference is available.
