Policy Alert

SUBJECT: Definition of Certain Classes of Medical Conditions and Other Updates Relating to Health-Related Grounds of Inadmissibility

Purpose:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is updating guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual regarding health-related grounds of inadmissibility in accordance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rulemaking updating Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 34 (42 CFR 34).

Background:

On January 26, 2016, HHS published the final rule updating HHS’s regulation. USCIS is updating its guidance in Volume 8, Part B of the Policy Manual to reflect the changes to the HHS regulation. The HHS final rule was effective on March 28, 2016. Accordingly, the updates made to the USCIS Policy Manual are effective as of March 28, 2016. The guidance contained in the Policy Manual is controlling and supersedes any prior guidance.

Policy Highlights:

Updates the definition of a Class A condition, to include failure to present documentation of having received vaccinations against vaccine preventable diseases.
 Updates the definition of a Class B condition to “health conditions, diseases, or disability serious in degree or permanent in nature.”
 Updates the definition of physical and mental disorders with associated harmful behavior and the definition of drug abuse and drug addiction.
 Removes 3 medical conditions (chancroid, granuloma inguinale, and lymphogranuloma venereum) from the list of communicable diseases of public health significance that would render an applicant for immigration benefits inadmissible on health-related grounds of inadmissibility.

Citation Volume 8: Admissibility, Part B, Health-Related Grounds of Inadmissibility [8 USCIS-PM B].

The USCIS Policy Manual has been updated to provide guidance regarding health-related grounds of inadmissibility in accordance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services rulemaking updating Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 34 (42 CFR 34).  

--------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 7:


A. Physical or Mental Disorders with Associated Harmful Behavior​ [1]​Applicants who have physical or mental disorders and harmful behavior associated with those disorders are inadmissible.​ [2] The inadmissibility ground is divided into two subcategories:​
​•Current physical or mental disorders, with associated harmful behavior. ​
​
•Past physical or mental disorders, with associated harmful behavior that is likely to recur or lead to other harmful behavior. ​
​There must be both a physical or mental disorder and harmful behavior to make an applicant inadmissible based on this ground. Neither ​harmful behavior nor a physical or ​mental disorder alone renders an applicant inadmissible on this ground. Harmful behavior is defined as behavior that may pose, or has posed, a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the applicant or others.​
​
A physical disorder is a currently accepted medical diagnosis as defined by the current edition of the Manual of International Classification of Diseases, Injuries, and Causes of Death published by the World Health Organization or by another authoritative source as determined by the Director.​ [3] Officers should consult the Technical Instructions for additional information, if needed.​
​A mental disorder is a currently accepted psychiatric diagnosis, as defined by the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association or by another authoritative source as determined by the Director.​ [4] Officers should consult the Technical Instructions for additional information, if needed.​
​Under the Technical Instructions, a diagnosis of substance abuse/addiction for a substance that ​is not listed​ in Section 202 of the Controlled Substance​s​ Act (with current associated harmful behavior or a history of associated harmful behavior judged likely to recur) is classified as a mental disorder.​ [5]
​Under prior Technical Instructions and the July 20, 2010 or older versions of the form, these conditions were summarized under the drug abuse/addiction part of the form. An officer, however, should not find an applicant inadmissible for “drug abuse/addiction” if a non-controlled substance is involved.​
​
B. Relevance of Alcohol-Related Driving Arrests or Convictions​​
1. Alcohol Use and Driving​
​Alcohol ​is not listed​ in Section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act.​ [6] Therefore, alcohol use disorders ​are treated​ as a physical or mental disorder for purposes of determining inadmissibility. As a result, an applicant with an alcohol use disorder will not be deemed inadmissible unless there is current associated harmful behavior or past associated harmful behavior likely to recur. The harmful behavior must be such that it poses, has posed, or is likely to pose a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the applicant or others. ​
​In the course of adjudicating benefit applications, officers frequently encounter criminal histories that include arrests and/or convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents, such as DUI (driving under the influence) and DWI (driving while intoxicated). These histories may or may not rise to the level of a criminal ground of inadmissibility.​ [7] A record of criminal arrests and/or convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents may constitute evidence of a health-related inadmissibility as a physical or mental disorder with associated harmful behavior.​
​Operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol is clearly an associated harmful behavior that poses a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the applicant or others. Where a civil surgeon’s mental status evaluation diagnoses the presence of an alcohol use disorder (abuse or dependence), and where there is evidence of harmful behavior associated with the disorder, a Class A medical condition should be certified on ​Form I-693​. ​
2. Re-Examination​s​ ​

​Requesting ​Re-Examinations​
​Some applicants may fail to report, or may underreport, alcohol-related driving incidents in response to the civil surgeon’s queries. Where these incidents resulted in an arrest, they may be subsequently revealed in the criminal history record resulting from a routine fingerprint check. Consequently, a criminal record printout revealing a significant history of alcohol-related driving arrests may conflict with the medical examination report that indicates no alcohol-related driving incidents were reported to or evaluated by the civil surgeon.​
​In such an instance, an officer may require the applicant to be re-examined. The re-examination would be limited to a mental status​ ​evaluation specifically considering the record of alcohol-related driving incidents. On the ​Request for Evidence (​RFE​)​, officers should use the following language: “Please return to the civil surgeon for purposes of conducting a mental status evaluation specifically considering the record of alcohol-related driving incidents.”​
​Upon re-examination, the civil surgeon may refer the applicant for further evaluation to a psychiatrist or to a specialist in substance-abuse disorders as provided for under the Technical Instructions. After such referral, the civil surgeon will determine whether a Class A medical condition exists and amend the ​Form I-693​ accordingly. The determination of a Class A condition is wholly dependent on the medical diagnosis of a designated civil surgeon.​ ​
​
Re-Examination for​ Significant Criminal Record of Alcohol-Related Driving Incidents​
​Only applicants with a significant criminal record of alcohol-related driving incidents that were not considered by the civil surgeon during the original medical examination should be referred for re-examination. ​
​The actual criminal charges for alcohol-related driving incidents vary among the different states. A significant criminal record of alcohol-related driving incidents includes:​
​•One or more arrests/convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents (DUI/DWI) while the driver’s license was suspended, revoked, or restricted at the time of the arrest due to a previous alcohol-related driving incident(s).​
​•One or more arrests/convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents where personal injury or death resulted from the incident(s).​
​•One or more convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents where the conviction was a felony in the jurisdiction in which it occurred or where a sentence of incarceration was actually imposed.​
​•One arrest/conviction for alcohol-related driving incidents within the preceding ​5​ years.​ [8]
​​•Two or more arrests/convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents within the preceding ​10​ years.​ [9]
​
If the officer finds that the criminal record appears to contradict the civil surgeon’s finding in the medical examination report, then the officer should request a re-examination.​
​
Example:​ An applicant’s criminal record shows that she was convicted for DWI-related vehicular manslaughter. However, the medical examination report reflects that no Class A or B physical or mental disorder was found. In this case, the officer should request a re-examination because the medical examination report finding should have reflected that the applicant has a history relating to an alcohol-related driving incident that could indicate a physical or mental disorder with associated harmful behavior. ​
​

3. Determination Based on Re-Examination​​

Upon completion of the re-examination, the officer should determine whether the applicant is inadmissible. If the civil surgeon annotated a Class A condition, the applicant is inadmissible. If no Class A condition is certified by the civil surgeon, the officer may not determine that the applicant is inadmissible. In exceptional cases, the officer may seek review of the civil surgeon’s determination from CDC. ​
​
If the applicant is inadmissible, he or she may file an application for waiver of inadmissibility.​ [10] ​
​
C. Relevance of Other Evidence​​
The guidance relating to alcohol-related driving arrests or convictions described above applies to any similar scenario where the record of proceeding contains evidence that may indicate inadmissibility due to a mental or physical disorder with associated harmful behavior that was not considered by the civil surgeon in the original medical examination. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to: ​
​
•A prior finding of inadmissibility due to a mental disorder. ​
​
•A history of institutionalization for a mental disorder. ​
​
•A criminal history other than ​drunk​ driving arrests/convictions, such as assaults and domestic violence, in which alcohol or a psychoactive substance was a contributing factor. ​
​
•Any other evidence that suggests an alcohol problem.​

​
•Other criminal arrests where there is a reasonable possibility of a mental disorder as a contributing factor. ​
​
Accordingly, where the record of proceeding available to the officer contains evidence suggestive of a mental disorder, and the ​Form I-693​ medical report does not reflect that the evidence was considered by the civil surgeon, the applicant must be required to undergo a mental status re-examination by a civil surgeon specifically addressing the adverse evidence that may not have initially been revealed to the civil surgeon.​
​
------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 8:

A. Drug Abuse or Drug Addiction​​Applicants who ​are found​ to be drug abusers or addicts are inadmissible.​ [1] 

Drug abuse and drug addiction ​are current substance-use disorders or substance-induced disorders of a controlled substance listed in Section 202 of the Controlled Substance​s​ Act, as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association or by another authoritative source as determined by the Director.​ [2] ​
​In 2010, ​the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (​CDC​)​ changed the Technical Instructions on how a civil surgeon determines whether an applicant is a drug abuser or drug addict.​ [3] The civil surgeon must now make this determination according to the DSM as specified in the Technical Instructions.​ [4] ​
​If the applicant is classified as a drug abuser or addict, the applicant can apply again for an immigration benefit if his or her drug abuse or addiction is in remission. Remission is now defined by DSM criteria, and no longer by a set timeframe as it was under previous Technical Instructions.​ [5] In order for an applicant’s drug abuse or addiction to be classified as in remission, the applicant must return to a civil surgeon for a new assessment. ​
​If the officer has reason to question the completeness or accuracy of the medical examination report, the officer should ask CDC to review the ​medical report before sending a Request for Evidence​ ​(​RFE​)​.​
​Most applicants who are found to be drug abusers or addicts are ineligible for a waiver; the availability depends, however, on the immigration benefit the ​applicant seeks.​ [6] ​
B. Part of ​Form I-693​ Addressing Drug Abuse or Drug Addiction​

​The civil surgeon must check the appropriate findings box on the medical examination report. The civil surgeon should also either annotate the findings in the remarks section or attach a report, if the space provided is not sufficient. However, the officer should not RFE simply because the civil surgeon has omitted the remarks or failed to attach a report. ​
-------------------------------


CHAPTER 11: INADMISSIBILITY DETERMINATION

A. Civil Surgeon or Panel Physician​ ​Documentation​​
If a “Class A condition” is noted on the medical form, it is conclusive evidence that the applicant is inadmissible. The Class A annotation may also indicate that an applicant could be inadmissible on other grounds of inadmissibility. For example, “harmful behavior” associated with a physical or mental disorder, or illegal drug use, may have resulted in criminal convictions that make an applicant inadmissible under ​INA 212(a)(2)​. However, a criminal conviction should be supported by conviction records or similar evidence, and not just the medical examination report.​ [1] ​
​
If a civil surgeon or panel physician only annotates a “Class B condition” (per HHS regulations), the applicant is ​never​ inadmissible on health-related grounds. The officer should remember that if the civil surgeon or panel physician indicates on the ​Form I-693​ that a former Class A condition is now a Class B condition, the applicant is no longer inadmissible. However, a Class B condition may indicate that the applicant could be inadmissible on other grounds because of the condition, such as public charge.​ [2] ​
​
The officer may encounter medical documentation that is not fully completed. In this c​ase, the officer should issue a Request for Evidence​ ​(​RFE​)​. If the physician fails to properly complete the form in response to the RFE, the applicant has not established that he or she is clearly admissible to the United States.​ [3] ​
​
B. Applicant’s Declaration​​
If the applicant indicates that he or she may be inadmissible based on a medical reason, the officer must order a medical examination of the applicant. Based on the results of that medical exam, the officer should ascertain whether the applicant actually has a Class A, Class B, or no condition at all that is relevant to the applicant’s admissibility. The applicant should not be found inadmissible unless the medical examination confirms the presence of a Class A medical condition.​
​
C. Other Information​ ​​
Even if the civil surgeon or panel physician did not annotate a Class A or B condition in the medical documentation, or if the applicant was not required to undergo a medical examination, the officer may order or reorder an immigration medical examination at any time if he or she has concerns as to an applicant’s inadmissibility on health-related grounds. ​
​
The concern should be based on information in the A-file, information that is revealed by the applicant or another applicant during an interview, or information revealed during a background investigation. ​
​

D. Other Grounds ​of ​Inadmissibility​​
1. General​ ​Considerations​​
Where relevant, the information contained in the medical examination can be used to determine whether other grounds of inadmissibility may apply. For instance, health is one factor to consider when determining if someone is inadmissible on public charge grounds. This factor must, however, be considered in light of all other factors specified by law​ [4] and in standard public charge guidance.​ [5] ​
​
2. Criminal ​Grounds​​
An applicant may be inadmissible on criminal grounds if he or she has admitted to committing certain controlled substance violations.​ [6] ​An applicant may acknowledge to a civil surgeon or a panel physician that he or she has used a controlled substance, which the physician then may annotate on the medical documentation. ​
​
USCIS does not consider this acknowledgement, in and of itself, a valid admission that would make an applicant inadmissible on criminal grounds.​ [7]However such an acknowledgment of drug use may open a line of questioning to determine c​riminal inadmissibility. USCIS o​fficers should find that an applicant has made a valid “admission” of a crime only when the admission is made in accordance with the requirements outlined by the Bo​ard of Immigration Appeals​.​[8] ​
​
E. Privacy Concerns​
​An officer should take great care to regard the privacy of the applicant. The officer should generally not discuss the applicant’s medical issues with applicants other than the applicant, his or her counsel, immigration officers, or other government officials​ [9] who clearly have a need to know the information.​

​​The officer should not directly contact a civil surgeon to discuss an applicant’s inadmissibility or medical issues. If the officer has any concerns that cannot be resolved by reviewing the evidence in the record, the officer should issue an RFE.​
