C. 206), or any other relative of an applicant for a visa has been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence, a Form I-475 should be furnished to the husband, father or mother or interested relative upon request therefor. The form should be filled out by the applicant and mailed to the immigration and naturalization officer in charge at the port of his or her last entry, if arrival was before July 1, 1924, and to the Central Office, if arrival was after that date on an immigration visa, or a reentry permit, or if arrival is based on a record of registry. The certification on the reverse of Form I-475 will be executed in every case where a record is found. A statement will be made under "Remarks" to show the character of the admission and any discrepancies observed between the statements in the Form I-475 and the facts shown by the record of admission.

In verifications made by ports of entry where the manifest record shows a permit number, a departure reference, a Central Office file number, or where the entry appears to be fraudulent, the request will be routed through the Central Office for checking and appropriate action.* (Sec. 8, 45 Stat. 1009, sec. 2, 47 Stat. 656; 8 U.
