The '''record of registry''' was a record of lawful arrival made for certain aliens who lawfully entered the U.S. at an earlier time, but for whom the INS could find no record of arrival. The law enacted in 1929 and amended in 1939, particularly addressed aliens who entered before 1924 and who had resided in the country continuously since that date. In addition the alien was to be of good moral character and not subject to deportation. The alien could make an application, pay the fee, and receive a record of registry. "Lawful Entry" was the reauthorized of this program by the Nationality Act of 1940. <br> | The '''record of registry''' was a record of lawful arrival made for certain aliens who lawfully entered the U.S. at an earlier time, but for whom the INS could find no record of arrival.
