In fact. I would go even further. I would even recommend that a naturalized citizen should not act in the country of his birth in these cases. There are hundreds of applications for these visas and these people ought to be treated fairly. their applications should be taken in the order they are received. and there should be no practices there of which we would be ashamed. The consulate represents the United States Government in a foreign country and we do not want the intended immigrant to get a false impression upon his first contact with the representative of the United States Government. We do not want an immigrant to believe that by paying a fee he can jump over other applicants. and that is why it is of great Importance that this work should be carried on only by American citizens.
