<div>Here is the scenario:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A man comes to America from Italy in 1914 and ends up in Los Angeles, California. He files a Declaration of Intention in 1934. He waits 2 years and then files a Petition For Naturalization on 23 July 1934.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the back of the petition, it states:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Petition denied: List No. 7 26 April 1937"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I guess I have 3 questions:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. What is the "List No. 7?"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. What were considered reasons for denial of a petition? On paper it appears that he fulfilled all the requirements.</div>
<div>He filed his declared his intention, got a certificate of arrival from the dept. of Labor, swore his allegiance to the U.S. and renounced his to the King of Italy, had 2 people attest to his good moral character and he was employed. He had been married briefly in Northern California and had 2 children but divorced and moved to Southern California.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. When his petition was denied, would he have been deported? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for any enlightenment.</div>
