Abstract:
The eMedical system serves as a conduit from panel physicians to submit medical exam information to the Department and CDC. The medical forms are essential for determining the eligibility of aliens seeking immigrant or nonimmigrant visas to enter the United States.
Emergency Justfication:
Subject to certain exemptions and waivers, under Section 212(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act , individuals are ineligible for immigrant visas unless they have been inoculated for vaccine-preventable diseases recommended by the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices. Immigrant visa applicants, as well as refugees and some nonimmigrant visa applicants, must complete a medical examination before a panel physician before a consular officer may issue the visa. Panel physicians must follow Centers for Disease Control’s Technical Instructions for Panel Physicians and record their findings on DS-7794 (OMB Control No. 1405-0230). Electronic Medical Examination for Visa Applicant.
