Abstract of Proposed Collection

    This electronic collection records medical information necessary to 
determine whether visa applicants have medical conditions affecting the 
applicant's eligibility for a visa.

Methodology

    Approved panel physicians will be granted access to an eMedical 
system by the Department of State, to conduct medical examinations for 
visa eligibility determinations. During the initial rollout, some 
immigrant visa applicants with a completed and submitted DS-260, 
Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration will have their 
medical exam results submitted to the Department via the eMedical 
system. The panel physician will input the exam information into the 
eMedical portal and it will be transmitted to the Department for visa 
adjudication and retained in the Department's systems. The Department 
anticipates a full rollout of the electronic medical report by the end 
of 2018. During the transition to eMedical, some applicants' medical 
exams will be completed via paper forms.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Department of 
State.
