What must a civil surgeon include when documenting a Class A medical condition on Form I-693?
Answer: The specific diagnosis, supporting test results, and a statement of inadmissibility
A Class A condition requires the civil surgeon to document the specific diagnosis, supporting evidence (test results), and indicate that the condition renders the applicant inadmissible.
What distinguishes a Class A medical condition from a Class B medical condition in immigration exams?
Answer: Class A conditions make an applicant inadmissible; Class B conditions are notable but not automatically disqualifying
Class A conditions render an applicant inadmissible to the US, while Class B conditions are medically significant departures from normal health that do not automatically bar admission.
Which document accompanies Form I-693 when a civil surgeon finds a Class B condition?
Answer: A written medical follow-up recommendation or notation on the form itself
For Class B conditions, the civil surgeon notes the condition on Form I-693 and may include a recommendation for follow-up care, but no separate denial document is issued.
Can an applicant review their completed Form I-693 before it is sealed by the civil surgeon?
Answer: Yes, the applicant has the right to review and ask questions before sealing
The civil surgeon should review the findings with the applicant prior to sealing the form, allowing the applicant to ask questions about their results.
What action should a civil surgeon take if they discover they made an error on a sealed Form I-693?
Answer: Complete a new Form I-693 with the corrected information and re-seal it
Errors on Form I-693 require completing a new, corrected form rather than altering the sealed document.
Which laboratory tests are required to be documented in Part 3 of Form I-693?
Answer: Syphilis serology (RPR or VDRL)
Part 3 of Form I-693 requires documentation of syphilis serology, specifically the RPR or VDRL test result.
