Mrs. Mary Terronez; 8-15-18; Announcement CH-4-08

1940 - On many occasions I was asked to go to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Office in Omaha, Neb. to interpret for different families, help them process the pertinent forms, explain the various procedures, and help them secure their "Wica" as permanent residents In addition, Mr. White from U.S. Immigration would come to Davenport and he would call on me to interpret for him or write letters to the Immigration Department for information on different matters including citizenship application. I accompanied people to the Mexican Consulate at 201 North Wells, Chicago, Illinois to get their Mexican permits to go to Mexico.
