<br />Chairman Eggert requested the Board's permission t,o write
<br />the following letter on County Commission letterhead and sign it
<br />as Chairman:
<br />April 3, 1990
<br />Immigration and Naturalization Service
<br />United States Department of Justice
<br />Re: Alien Relative Visa Petitions, (INS Form I-130), of Martin E, G.
<br />Wall, Esquire, In -Behalf of Spouse, Maureen (nee Schroeyens) (Buelvas)
<br />Wall, and Step -Child, Jennifer Buelvas.
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />I am informed that Martin E. G. Wall, Esquire, a United States citizen,
<br />resident in Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida, married Mffi. Maureen
<br />(nee Schroeyens) (Buelvas) Wall, in Southport, County Merseyside, England,
<br />on March 24, 1990. It is my understanding that Mrs. Wall is a Belgian
<br />citizen, who is permanently resident in Great Britain, where she is
<br />employed as a certified midwife, and that she is the mother of a minor
<br />child, Jennifer Buelvas, who is also a Belgian national, permanently
<br />resident in Great Britain.
<br />Mr. Wall is now in the process of petitioning the Immigration and
<br />Naturalization Service, for permanent resident visas in -behalf of his
<br />new wife and step -daughter, so that they will be able to establish
<br />residency with him, as a family unit, here in Vero Beach. I under-
<br />stand that this letter will be attached to those petitions by Mr. Wall
<br />to INS, in support thereof.
<br />Please be advised that I know of no reason why those petitions should
<br />not be approved by INS and why the United States Consul, in London,
<br />should not issue permanent resident visas to Mrs. Wall and her daughter.
<br />I am pleased to support those applications by Mr. Wall, whom I have
<br />known for approximately six years. .
<br />He is a respected member of this community and he;-.is:�a6tive"in--.various
<br />civic and governmental affairs. By appointment and re -appointment
<br />of the Governor of Florida, he has been a member of the Board of
<br />Commissioners of the Indian River County Housing Authority for more
<br />than four years and he is currently serving his third one-year term
<br />as that agency's Chairman, by election of his fellow Commissioners.
<br />Mr. Wall grew -up in Vero Beach and he is a graduate of our local school
<br />system. He is an honorably discharged Air Force veteran. He has
<br />practiced law in Vero Beach for more than a decade and he has been
<br />self-employed as an attorney for approximately eight years.
<br />I have been personally aware of Mr. Wall's plans to marry his new wife
<br />since he first discussed the same with me, some four months ago. In
<br />my opinion, there is no reason why their marriage should not be a
<br />successful.and enduring one, based upon the facts of the couple's ages,
<br />maturity, education, and long period of both being single since the
<br />dissolution of their prior marriages. I understand from Mr. Wall that
<br />they first met each other more than*ten years ago.
<br />Accordingly, it would be appreciated if the Immigration and Naturaliz-
<br />ation Service, as well as the American Consul in London, would expedite
<br />the approval of Mr. Wall's petitions and the issuance of visas to
<br />his wife and step -daughter.
<br />Your attention hereto will be appreciated. Please telephone me,
<br />should you desire to verify any information set forth in this
<br />letter.
<br />Sincerely yours,
<br />Carolyn K. Eggert
<br />Chairman,
<br />Board of County Commissioners
