Subject
Eligibility rules and laws governing how people who entered the U.S. before 1972 may seek legal immigration status
Description
This chapter of the USCIS Policy Manual explains the rules governing how people, like Teresa Reyes Trujillo and "George" Yuke Kee Lee, who entered the U.S. before 1972, may seek legal immigration status. It explains the relevant laws and eligibility rules as well as approval codes found in A-files. The details around the requirements, including "good moral character," provide the context behind some of the materials, including church records, that Trujillo and Lee submitted to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and which have been collected in their respective A-files.
