Could a copy of this B.C. at a port of entry have been kept in the records at that site?
I don’t think they had photocopiers back then, did they? I know up until the 80’s, smaller offices still had carbon in between pages.
BUT, if they show a point of entry on August 8th, and show a newborn baby coming with her. It would be highly unlikely that a person could get from Hawaii to Kenya back to Baltimore in four days, given a day or two recovery from childbirth.
WOuldn’t have to have the actual bc. Only a note that the infant entered the US with a valid BC from sight of birth.
They may have made a copy but it would be placed into an immigration file. The Port of Entry would never have kept an original birth certificate!
