Your GI Rights Questions and Answers On Servicemen’s Problems By DOUGLAS LARSEN WASHINGTON. — A former GI from Wisconsin has been wrestling with a problem which a bill re cently signed by the resident should solve. While he was in England in 1943, he became engaged to an English girl. They agreed to be married after the war, when she could come to America. He has now returned home, and he is working at his old job. He has sent her money for the trip but she has run into trouble with passport red-tape. She has been given her English passport but she hasn’t been able to get her visa from the American gov ernment. This veteran’s fiancee was born in India. Her father was serving in the British Army at the time. Both her mother and her father were born in England, yet she is classified as a native of India in sofar as immigration quotas go. The State department reports that there has necessarily been an administrative delay in assigning the girl a quota-number. Immi gration laws are complex, espe cially so for persons classified as native Indians. Although this girl is obviously 100 per cent white, that fact has to be established by careful in. vestigation. Persons classed as native Indians are permitted to come to the U. S. only if they can prove that they are of more than 50 per cent white blood. The new law which the Presi dent signed permits an^ fiancee of a former overseas serviceman to come to the U. S. without a quota-number if the quota from her country has already been filled. She is given a temporary visitor’s permit. After she has married she can take the neces sary steps to get full citizenship. Thousands of veterans will have the solutions to their matrimonial problems expedited by this bill. There will probably be further delay for the Wisconsin vet’s fi ancee but the State department promises to provide action as fast as is possible on her application for a visa.
