Health Rules Delay U.S. Entry for DPs in Europe
DP entrants to the United States face health rule barriers as tuberculosis scars and cured cases trigger long observation periods up to two years. Officials say many families stay behind and miss out on moving to the States. Experts warn the policy, based on Public Health Service interpretation, may affect about one third of eligible DPs. Proposals aim to accelerate arrivals, with visas rising from 150 to 300 daily, and up to 4,000 expected in February and tens of thousands in subsequent months, though some delays stem from immigration category quotas.
