Washington, D. C. Emery Király, Feb. 3, 1959 Treasurer CITIZENSHIP Question: I have a cousin who was born in Alaska. Will the fact that Alaska will now become a State of the United States have any effect on his nationality? Answer: A person born in Alaska on or after March 30, 1867, except a non-citizen Indian, is a citizen of the United States at birth. A non-citizen Indian born in Alaska on or after March 30, 1867, and prior to June 2, 1924, has been declared by Congress to be a citizen of the United States as of June 2, 1924. An Indian born in Alaska on or after June 2, 1924, is a citizen of the United States at birth. IS MISREPRESENTATION OF BIRTHPLACE A BAR TO NATURALIZATION? Question: I came to the United States as a displaced person. Fearing repatriation to an Iron Curtain country, I made some misstatements as to the country of my birth. I now would like to be naturalized, but am afraid of deportation. Am I eligible for naturalization? Answer: Congress passed a law in 1957 which forgives such misrepresentation by refugees if they were caused by fear of repatriation. The same law also forgives misrepresentations in other circumstances for people with American families or close relatives of lawful permanent residents. In either situation, you should tell the naturalization examiner all relevant facts about yourself, and you will probably be naturalized without difficulty. It is recommended, however, that you consult an expert, either a voluntary agency or a lawyer, before you apply.
