Immigration File for Gulam Nabi

DESCRIPTION
Immigration case file for Gulam Nabi (Case File No. 12815/8-13). Nabi arrived in San Francisco aboard the S.S. Persia on July 29, 1913. On July 31, Nabi was interrogated by a board including Inspectors R.E. Peabody, H. Schmoldt, W.H. Chadney, and Interpreter D.S. Dady Burjar. Nabi indicates that he had lived in Vancouver, Seattle, and Aberdeen for a number of years, before returning to India. At the conclusion of the interrogation, Nabi was taken into custody on the grounds that he was “likely to become a public charge.” Nabi's case was part of a larger warrant for the deportation of several men who arrived aboard the S.S. Persia from Manila, including Bhagat Singh, Sowan Singh, Arjan Singh, Partab Singh, Asa Singh, Sapuran Singh, Soba Singh, Sham Singh, Viryam Singh, Sohn Singh, Naron Singh, and Gulam Nabi.
