As a result of this eccentric circumstance. she would have to wait in Mexico for 2 years before she could become eligible to enter the United States. Since Mrs. Nelsons Mexican visa was good only for 6 months. the vice consul suggested that at the expiration of her visa she go to Cuba. which was not considered contiguous territory. She was assured her papers were all in order and that a visa would be issued shortly. She flew to Habana and her file followed. but certain records were found to be missing from her file. Also. disaster following upon disaster. the United States Immigration Service sent word that the Nelsons were not actually married. Apparently a clerk had failed to record the marriage. and Nelson flew to Habana. where he and his wife were married once again. Now the Immigration Service was satisfied. but the American consul in Habana was not. and he ordered a new investigation. This meant getting duplicates of papers obtainable only in Europe. which Mr. Nelson did obtain at considerable outlay of time and money. But by this time Mrs. Nelsons Cuban visa had expired. and she was granted an extension of time. When this extension ran out the consul in Habana had all the necessary documents required by law. He advised her then that the required investigation was completed. but he wanted to check a little further. and at last her visa would be forthcoming. Unfortunately. however. the Cuban authorities refused to grant her a further stay. so she flew back to Tijuana. It may be that she will have to fly back to Cuba again in 6 months time. while the consul in Habana Is making his further check. Mr. Nelson was able with no difficulty to bring his stepson. Kurt. into the United States on a student visa. and the boy is studying at a California college. Mrs. Nelsons brother lives in Los Angeles and has been an American citizen for more than 20 years.
