Abstract of Proposed Collection

    Forms for this collection are completed by panel physicians for 
refugees, aliens seeking immigrant visas, and for some aliens seeking 
nonimmigrant visas to the United States. The collection records medical 
information necessary to determine whether refugees or visa applicants 
have medical conditions affecting the applicant's eligibility for a 
visa, or affecting the public health and requiring treatment.

Methodology

    A panel physician, contracted by the consular post in accordance 
with instructions issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 
performs the medical examination of the applicant and completes the 
forms. Panel physicians follow Forms DS-3025, DS-3026, and DS-3030. 
Upon completing the applicant's medical examination, the examining 
panel physician submits a report to the consular officer on Form DS-
2054.
