Title: Records for an immigrant in 1964/1965 - Germany to US?
Post by: katjaeb on Thursday 16 January 20 17:36 GMT (UK)

I have a grandmother who immigrated to the United States in 1964 or 1965 from Germany. She had married an American serviceman then stationed in Germany and presumably was allowed in on those grounds. She is now deceased and was never naturalized as a US citizen.

Are there any visa applications or immigration records which might exist for her? If so, what are my options as far as access? It appears NARA has visa records for this period, but they are not currently available. I would welcome any information about this or other records that might be helpful.

Thank you!

During that time period she would have come to the USA on a military plane or a chartered plane for active duty military and families.
The service her husband was in would have records
You can apply for her husbands records and her details will be included.
