HIV No Longer a Ground of Inadmissibility

According to a memo dated Nov. 24, 2009, USCIS's Adjudication Field Manual will be amended to remove HIV as a ground of inadmissbility.

"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."
