The child was born in June 1939. and by the time they could plan again to return they were prevented from doing so by the Second World War. .Upon the termination of hostilities. the wife petitioned for a preference status for her husband. which was approved. and the child. being considered an American citizen. was to travel on her mothers passport. However. another child was born. and apparently was not considered an American citizen. since the mother was advised by the consul to petition for nonquota status for the second child. The petition for the second child was still pending when the eonsuls were authorized to grant passports to all naturalized American citizens so that they might return to the United States before the dead line of October 14. 1946. However. at that time the second child was only 5 months old. and the approved petition did not come through in time to make it possible for the wife to get back to the United States in order to retain her citizenship. This was especially sad. inasmuch as the second child died in January 1947.
