Milagros David Manguerra v. Immigration and Naturalization Service

Petitioner Manguerra is in this Court under 8 U.S.C. § 1105a requesting that the order of respondent Immigration and Naturalization Service (I&NS) that she be deported be set aside.

Petitioner was born,in the Phillipine Islands in 1935. On September 2, 1966, she entered the United States as a temporary visitor with leave to remain until October 2, 1966. At that time she held a Phillipine passport certifying her Phil-lipine citizenship.

After being in the United States some three weeks, on September 30, 1966, petitioner applied to respondent I&NS for a change of status from that of visitor to that of student. On November 30, 1966, her application was denied because s’ e “failed to establish (her) financial abili'y to support and maintain (herself) during (her) stay as a full-time student,” and because she “failed to establish the bona fides of (her) application.”

On December 14, 1966, she appealed from that denial. On that appeal she offered a certificate from the Seattle First National Bank dated December 12, 1966, stating that on that day $1000 had been credited to the account of “Milagros D. Manguerra or Mrs. Luz L. Estigoy.” Petitioner’s appeal was dismissed on February 23,…
