• Description:
  Medical screening for physical and mental disorders with associated harmful behaviors and substance- related disorders among persons overseas applying for U.S. immigration status and non-immigrants who are required by law to have an overseas medical examination, hereafter referred to as applicants, is an essential component of the immigration-related medical evaluation. Because these conditions are challenging to diagnose and treat, these technical instructions provide a method for recording findings from the medical examination and additional guidance for the panel physician in classifying applicants. The new technical instructions use uniform criteria and diagnosis consistent with current medical knowledge and classification connected with legal definitions.
