WHAT IS “THE KEY FACTOR?”

Late Tuesday night, the Twitter account @KamalaKancel tweeted what appear to be three snippets from immigration documents pertaining to vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s mother previously posted in fuller form by the same account.

The Post & Email has not authenticated any of the documents released by the account, which largely relate to Shyamala Gopalan Harris, who was born in India, received her Master’s degree and Ph.D. in the U.S. and in 2009 passed away after a long career in cancer research in the U.S. and Canada.

First arriving in the United States in September 1958 on a “nonimmigrant student visa,” Gopalan also used the name “Gopalan Shyamala” and, after her California marriage to fellow UC Berkeley student Donald J. Harris of Jamaica, “Shyamala G. Harris.”

On September 3, 1958, “G. Shyamala” signed a statement affirming she intended to enter the U.S. “temporarily and solely for the purpose of pursuing a full course of study in the institution or recognized place of study which has accepted me as a student.”
