Increasing obstacles are placed by the American Consul in the way of Polish rabbis who desire to proceed to the United States. The Consul demands that in order to secure a visa for his passport, the Rabbi must submit additional documents including the diploma of a rabbinical seminary and a certificate that he has served as a rabbi of a community for two years. Due to these demands no Polish rabbi can obtain a visa as none of them have obtained diplomas from rabbinical academies.
