As lawmakers in the United States of America are beginning to debate on the state of defense in the country Hillary Clinton is defending the stand for allowing a certain section of illegal immigrants to serve in the U S military, it was reported.
The announcement was made during Clinton’s run for presidency campaign last Tuesday, as debate began on a policy bill on defense that would include a provision encouraging unlawful immigrants to serve in the military forces. This would provide them with a choice of making a fast- track to citizenship. It was also sought to call for a study of the impact on allowing DREAMers’ to serve in the military. DREAMers’ is the term used to describe illegal immigrants who were brought in as children.
Hillary Clinton stated that “If these courageous young men and women want to serve, they should be honored and celebrated, not discriminated against. Hillary Clinton is committed to comprehensive immigration reform to strengthen families and our country”.
This position by the 2016 Democratic presidential contender has heartened immigration enthusiasts and the Democrats who feel that it would help to strengthen support from the Hispanics.
This provision in the area of immigration has created one of the thickest fights in the House, especially in the Defense bill, a bill that would monitor funding and activities in the Pentagon.
The Obama government recently announced a range of what it calls “improvements” to make living better for around 1,000 families that included women and children who were currently being held in 3 detention centers – some of them for almost a year – these people have moved illegally, mostly from the Central Americas to the United States of America.
ICE, or the Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities stated that it would step up accountability by setting up a “Community Advisory Committee”, appointing an official who would be responsible for the centers, and looking out for ways in which living conditions could be improved and striving to speed up the adjudication of detainees’ cases. Most of the immigrants stated that they were migrating away from violence that was rampant in countries of Central America and the United Nations had urged that they be given access to asylum procedures.
ICE Director recently stated that the office understood the “unique and sensitive nature of detaining families” and they were committed to maintaining the optimum level of care needed in order to tackle the difficult area of illegal immigration. Director Saldana stated in a news release that more understanding and commitment would be employed in order to enable all individuals who were detained or in custody were held and treated in a humane manner.
Depending on the kind of immigration category sought an applicant for immigration may have to go through what is called the Immigration Medical Examination in the United States of America. If the applicant is adjusting status or is applying for a green card he or she will be required to undergo the Immigration medical exams that consist of vaccinations, tuberculin tests and other physical examinations. Blood work, urine tests along with certain x-ray exams form a part of the entire medical exam process.
Only a Civil Surgeon appointed by the USCIS, or the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services can be designated to perform the Medical Examinations or Green Card Medical Examinations conducted inside of the United States.
(For those immigration medical examinations that are conducted outside of the United States designated “Panel Physicians” appointed by the Department of State perform the exam for the applicants).
HOW DOES ONE BECOME A USCIS-APPROVED CIVIL SURGEON?
If a doctor is interested in becoming then he or she should apply to USCIS using Form I-910, or Application for Civil Surgeon Designation. There are certain doctors that may not have to apply for this designation if they fulfill the required blanket designations. In agreement with CDC, USCIS has designated all State and local health departments for the procedure.
All health departments and eligible physicians must routinely review and stay updated with the Technical Instructions for the vaccination requirements for the exam before they start performing the Immigration Medical Examinations.
THE I-693 FORM :
Green Card Doctors must conduct the examination and record the findings, along with the vaccination records and details onto a form designated by USCIS, the I-693 form.
The I-693 form is a Report of the Medical Examination and Vaccination Record and forms an integral part of the Immigration Medical Examination. While getting this form filled up the Surgeon should:
- Ensure that all details and information along with the certification of the immigration applicant are correct and completed.
- Complete all vaccination records and
- Complete the Civil Surgeon’s information and certification details that are a part of the I-693 form.
As required by CDC the physicians should then certify on the form I-693 by affixing his stamp or seal and signature. Care has to be taken that the form is signed by the attending physician also, if the form has only been signed by the registered nurse or by one of the assistants.
Once the health department too affixes the seal and stamp the signed I-693 form should be placed in a sealed envelope, as per the instructions mentioned on top of the form. The sealed cover has to be handed over to the applicant for onward forwarding for immigration purposes.
