Manual transcription from the NARA Catalog JPG images combined into the repository PDF.
The place of birth and last foreign residence appear as "Buso, Italy" in the typed forms; this may correspond to Busso, Campobasso, Italy, but the source value is preserved as recorded.
The declaration page gives Palermo as Mike's emigration port, while the petition page gives Naples.
Mike's file records wife Concetta's entry as New York on 18 October 1921, but Concetta's own certificate of arrival in source-nara-naturalization-file-for-concetta-iaciofano-1941-1944 gives Boston on 15 October 1921 aboard the SS Cretic; keep Concetta's own arrival certificate as the stronger travel fact for her.
No repository citation page was present in the downloaded NARA images, so no citation block was created.
