form A-2214

[Tom Kupp]

I have a copy of my Grandmother's US Certificate of Naturalization
(No. 5766437 from 1943), and a copy of her "Application for a
Certificate of Arrival and Preliminary Form for Petition for
Naturalization, Form A-2214, U.S. Department of Labor, Immigration
and Naturalization Service" from 1939. This is very informative
document. I also have my Grandfather's Certificate of
Naturalization (No.5092116 from 1941), but not the A-2214 which, I
assume, he also filed. Does anyone know if it is possible to get a
copy of this somewhere?

Thanks!

When were these forms start to be used. Would similar information
be available for some one who came from Germany in the 1840's?

Immigration and Naturalization will provide you with loads of paper
at little or no cost, PROVIDED that you can provided about six times
the amount of info actually needed to identify the case.

Having one of the actual forms suggests you might have enough
information to avoid an answer of "sorry, we can't find it"

In the 1840s you find similar documents, but without those form
numbers. INS didn't begin as an organization dealing with
immigration and naturalization until ca 1900. What paperwork there
is from that time period will be held in the court in which the
applicant filed his papers, not at a Federal level.

For the 1940s, the OP MAY be able to find this at the National
Archives (try www.nara.gov and poke around; they change things too
often for me to keep up).
