UNITED STATES QUOTA
NEW IMMIGRATION LAW EXPLAINED CONSUL’S STATEM£#T Press Association WELLINGTON, Tcxiay. Explaining the provisions of the new Immigration Act for the United States, Mr. \Y. L. Lowrie, United States Consul for New Zealand, said that for New Zealand the minimum quota of 100 per annum applies. There are always applicants in excess of the quota and that of the next fiscal year, to July 1, 1930, is already filled. No matter where a person is residing he is allowed in the quota of the country of his birth and consequently many applications are received at the New Zealand consular office from all countries.
Mr. Lowrie said that there were approximately 150 overseas applications on hand, and they would take appioximately ten years to dispense with it. It is much easier for a New Zealander residing here to obtain a permit than if he were overseas. Those persons who desire to enter the United States, and who are not required to be included in any particular quota are as follow: Persons making visits to the United States for business and pleasure for periods ot not more than six months, students who are able to present proof of acceptance at any United States Institute of learning, ministers of the Gospel and professors in educational institutions who go to the States to continue their vocations, unmarried children of American citizens under 21 years of age, and wives of American citizens.
