Paul SI. Miklossy, 390. Hudson Valley, N. Y. _ 325.41 Jan. 10, 1963 Treasurer HOW LONG MUST MY BROTHER WAIT BEFORE IMMIGRATING TO AMERICA? Question: I am an American citizen. My brother registered with the American Consulate in the country of his birth and residence sometime in 1954. The immigration quota for that country is greatly oversubscribed. My petition to the Immigration Service to give him preference status was approved some years ago. How long will it be before my brother can immigrate to the United States? Answer: From the facts as you have given them, it is quite possible that your brother may be able to come to the United States at an early date. Under a new law signed by President Kennedy on October 24, 1962, persons who were registered on a consular waiting list prior to March 31, 1954, and who are the beneficiaries of a petition for a fourth preference (which is what you filed) filed with the Attorney General prior to January 1, 1962, together with their spouses and children, will be considered non-quota immigrants. To determine whether your brother can benefit from this new law, it is important to find the exact date he registered, which must be earlier than March 31, 1954. If he is covered, it might be well for him to go to the American Consulate and advise them that he is still interested in immigrating. CAN ANY NATURALIZED CITIZEN BE DEPORTED? ESP"----Question: I have read in the newspapers that a gangster who has lived in the United States for more than fifty years and who was naturalized more than thirty years ago will be deported shortly. Is it possible for any naturalized citizen to be deported? Answer: The article you read in the paper may not have been entirely correct or possibly you misunderstood it. A naturalized citizen cannot be deported. However, if a naturalized citizen obtained his naturalization on the basis of misrepresenting what is called a material fact, the law considers that he never was really naturalized and permits his naturalization to be cancelled. Once his naturalization is cancelled, a step which requires a strict observance of all his rights under the Constitution, the man is subject to the deportation laws like any other alien, regardless of the length of residence.
