Form DS-2054 example filled out, example: a panel physician reports an immigrant visa exam
A panel physician reports the medical exam of an immigrant visa applicant. The exam on 03-02-2026 found no apparent defect, so Class A Conditions and Class B Conditions stay empty. The picture shows page 1 only; none of its entries is real. The exam is not Class B0 or B1 TB, so it expires after 6 months. The applicant is male and completed vaccination requirements, so the first Vaccination Documentation box is ticked.
