Embarking on the journey to becoming a lawful immigrant or refugee in the United States entails a thorough process, including the submission of the DS form, an integral document facilitated by the U.S. Department of State. It serves as a comprehensive medical examination form that must be completed by immigrant or refugee applicants, aligning with the TB Technical Instructions 2007 and the DS-3030. This document meticulously records personal information such as name, date of birth, and country of birth, alongside detailed medical examination results ranging from tuberculosis (TB) classifications to various infectious diseases assessments. Within its scope, the form categorizes medical conditions into Class A and Class B, distinguishing between more serious health conditions that could signify a public health risk and less severe issues. Additionally, the form addresses treatment histories, laboratory findings, and immunization records, ensuring that applicants meet the health standards required for entry into the U.S. It emphasizes the importance of transparency and accuracy, with the estimated burden of completing the form being around 10 minutes, although the impact on the applicant's journey is far more significant. By fulfilling the requirements outlined in the DS form, applicants take a crucial step toward their goal of residing in the United States, underpinning the process with a detail-oriented approach that underscores the intersection of public health and immigration policy.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10 minutes per response, including time required for searching existing data sources, gathering the necessary documentation, providing the information and/or documents required, and reviewing the final collection. You do not have to supply this information unless this collection displays a currently valid OMB control number. If you have comments on the accuracy of this burden estimate and/or recommendations for reducing it, please send them to: A/GIS/DIR, Room 2400
CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT
AUTHORITIES The information asked for on this form is requested pursuant to Section 212(a) and 221(d) and as required by Section 222 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Section 222(f) provides that the records of the Department of States and of diplomatic and consular offices of the United States pertaining to the issuance and refusal of visas or permits to enter the United States shall be considered confidential and shall be used only for the formulation, amendment, administration, or enforcement of the immigration, nationality, and other laws of the United States. Certified copies of such records may be made available to a court provided the court certifies that the information contained in such records is needed in a case pending before the court.
PURPOSE The U.S. Department of State uses the facts you provide on this form primarily to determine your classification and eligibility for a U.S. immigrant visa. Individuals who fail to submit this form or who do not provide all the requested information may be denied a U.S. immigrant visa. Although furnishing this information is voluntary, failure to provide this information may delay or prevent the processing of your case.
ROUTINE USES If you are issued an immigrant visa and are subsequently admitted to the United States as an immigrant, the Department of Homeland Security will use the information on this form to issue you a Permanent Resident Card, and, if you so indicate, the Social Security Administration will use the information to issue a social security number. The information provided may also be released to federal agencies for law enforcement, counterterrorism and homeland security purposes; to Congress and courts within their sphere of jurisdiction; and to other federal agencies who may need the information to administer or enforce U.S. laws.
