Last Day for Action October 5, 1976 - Tuesday

Purpose To permit the alien widows of u.s. citizens to remain in the United States as permanent residents. Agency Recommendations Office of Management and Budget . Approval· Immigration and Naturalization .Approval Service · Department of State No objection Discussion These bills would enable the beneficiaries, both alien widows of u.s. citizens, to remain in·•the United States by reinstating their former immigration classification of immediate relatives of u.s. citizens, thereby making them eligible for immigrant visas. In both cases, immigrant visas had been issued to the women, based on their marriages to U.S. citizens; however, the deaths of both husbands · terminated the beneficiaries' status as immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and resulted in automatic revocation of their immigrant visas. Absent this legislation, both widows would be subject to deportation. ·-s.l404- Mrs. Kyong Chu Stout The beneficiary is a 30-year-old native and citizen of Korea and widow of the late u.s. Army Sgt. Harold R. ·Stout. 2 Mrs. Stout had been issued an immigrant visa following her marriage and was preparing to accompany her husband to the United States when he was accidentally electrocuted. Upon his death, her immigrant visa was automatically revoked, but she was admitted as a visitor to accompany her husband's body to the United States for his funeral. Mrs. Stout remained in the United States and currently resides in Bossier City, Louisiana; she is unemployed and has no children. However, she is being provided for by Mr. and Mrs. Robert D. Griffin of Bossier City; Mrs. Griffin is the late Sgt. Stout's sister. s. ~477 - Beatrice Serrano-Toledo Mrs. Toledo is a 29-year-old native and citizen of Mexico who currently resides in Nampa, Idaho. She was married June 3, 1973 in Mexico to Mr. Juan Toledo, a u.s. citizen, who was murdered in Mexico three months later. Mrs. Toledo has one child from this marriage--a 2-year-old u.s. citizen daughter who lives with her in Idaho. Mrs. Toledo entered the United States on April 3, 1974 on a temporary visitor's visa, which expired May 3, 1974. However, deportation proceedings have not been instituted against her because of this pending private relief legislation.
