An explanation of the steps to be taken whereby relief may be obtained by separated families under the joint resolutions passed by the last Congress was given out by Immigration Commissioner Harry E. Hull.
“For the purpose of securing non-quota or preferential classification in behalf of their wives, husbands, unmarried children under the age of 21 years, fathers or mothers, citizens of the United States, should submit petitions for the issuance of immigration visas to this bureau for consideration,” the Commissioner’s statement declared.
“A new petition need not be filed in behalf of children who were over the age of 18 and under the age of 21 years when and if a previous petition was approved in their behalf, nor is it necessary that a new petition be submitted for an alien husband in respect of whom a petition for a preferentional classification filed by his citizen wife has been approved prior to May 29, 1928. The necessary adjustment will in proper cases be made by United States Consuls abroad, to whom all communications on the subject should be addressed.
“Cases of wives, and unmarried children under 21 years of age of alien residents who were lawfully and permanently admitted to the United States, and of immigrants skilled in agriculture, their wives and dependent children under the age of 12 years, if accompanying or following to join such immigrants skilled in agriculture, will be handled exclusively by American Consuls abroad, to whom all correspondence in respect thereto should be addressed.”
