I think this picture you have might have been taken for his Naturalization papers. I know my relative who naturalized in 1933 has such a picture on his Naturalization papers.

I believe this is his naturalization records index info:

No. 5710860
Jose Costa, 139 Merchant St., Fall River, MA
b. 6/3/1890
Certificate issued 4/12/1943 Boston MA
Petition # 250888
No. below Pet. # 3506318

Is this him? As far as not many pictures of him in US, some of my relatives did not have any/many pictures taken of them in US although I have pictures of them from the overseas and then there were some were even born here. I think the family could not afford studio sitting or even a home camera.

If you order his Naturalization papers, it might answer your question. Maybe he did not go back to his birthplace.
