Re: "I doubt very seriously that an infant was required to have had a Visa when traveling abroad with his mother. '
I suppose that you are thinking of a US infant traveling out of the USA. No, what you are talking about in this scenario is a Kenyan infant traveling to the USA. And infant born in Kenya would be considered a Kenyan (British subject at the time), or it is possible but less likely that he could be considered a US citizen born in Kenya (though many point out that his mother was not old enough to confer citizenship). In the latter case, he could get a US passport in Kenya or be added to his mother's US passport. BUT he could not travel to the USA without any travel document. He would have to have either a visa or a US passport. So who would decide? Not the US consulate in Kenya. It would have to be at the Sate Department in Washington--so cable traffic back and forth (long before e-mail). And it was in August, when Washington DC slows down to a crawl. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
