ongoing efforts across the Federal Government to support vulnerable

is allowing noncitizens who arrived in the United States during
Operation Allies Welcome (OAW) and who completed a medical screening
documented on Form SF-600, Chronological Record of Medical Care, to
complete a medical screening for physical and mental disorders with
associated harmful behaviors and substance use disorders in order to
demonstrate that they are not inadmissible to the United States under
the health-related grounds and to file USCIS Form I-693A, Report of
Supplemental Medical Screening, with their USCIS Form I-485,
Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, in lieu
of completing a full immigration medical examination and filing USCIS
Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination
Record. USCIS is providing public notice as provided by 5 CFR 1320.12
and simultaneously communicating with Office of Management and Budget,
