IV Docs in CCD - Class B TB Req ATTN USPHS at POE - No sealed packet

[txdoc 35]

Hello,

 

I have been reading mixed experiences on the following annotation:

221(g)(2)(B) ---- I get that 221 is about vaccine waiver. 

Class B TB Req ATTN of USPHS at POE --- Wife had sputum cultures come back negative, and visa was issued after. So I get the Class B TB. 

IV Docs in CCD --- IV Docs have been sent electronically.

 

She received the passport with the visa, but no sealed medical packet. Some people seemed to have received just a sealed medical packet, and others have not. I was curious to see if there was any consensus about this.

If the visa has this annotation, it tells CBP not to expect any physical packet from the visa holder.  Any post you've seen that mentions the visa holder having their medical report on hand, even while having that same visa annotation, is probably referring to a personal copy of the report they received from the panel physician.  That copy is meant for the immigrant's personal records, not to be handed over to CBP at POE.

Thank you Chancy! That puts me at ease.

Update: For anyone who might be looking for the answer, everything went well! they didn't even ask for the packet.

When they first introduced the whole "IV Docs in CCD" system, some people experienced CBP officers expecting to see a physical packet. Nowadays they are well aware of the procedure.

How long did it take for your wife to get the sputum results?
