Since today is World AIDS Day, I thought you might be interested in this:
Effective January 4, 2010, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection will no longer make an alien inadmissible under section 212(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act). This memorandum accordingly provides guidance for applications involving HIV.
This statement comes from a USCIS memo dated November 24, 2009, amending the Adjudicator's Field Manual, which details USCIS policies and procedures for adjudicating applications and petitions.
The memo provides guidance to USCIS officers on how to adjudicate current cases involving HIV. The good news is any cases currently in the system will not be denied. Instead, they will be held over until the amendment takes effect on January 4th.
Read the official memorandum from USCIS.
