In this respect this case differs from the usual hardship case. in that both the husband and wife are here illegally. This alien has a business which is worth $10.000 and employs two people. His brother was naturalized 27 years ago and served in the World War. This alien obtained a passport for Uruguay. and then went to Berlin. where he paid a stranger $375 to get a visa. This stranger gave him fraudulent papers. and went with him to the consuls office. where he received his visa. Upon receipt of the visa. the stranger looked it over and discovered that the police report was missing. so he took the papers back to effect the correction of this oversight. Subsequently a visa in regular form was procured. When applying for citizenship this alien alleged birth in Breslau. Germany. as was shown on his visa. He also claimed Breslau as the place cf birth in his marriage certificate. However. he now claims that the original visa has since been lost. although it was available to provide the necessary information to him. so that there would be no differences in his citizenship papers and the visa. This alien knew when he received his visa that the papers he used to obtain it falsely described him. yet he proceeded to procure the visa. H. R. 3394 This bill is for the relief of Minnie Urist. wife of the alien named in the preceding bill.
