Opinion
Opinion
Crary, J.
The petitioner, a native citizen of the Philippines, lawfully entered the United States on or about July 14, 1954, on a nonimmigrant visa and has remained here continuously from that date. His nonimmigrant status was changed to that of a student on September 28, 1954, and he was authorized to remain in the United States in that status until March 4, 1963.
On November 24, 1965, petitioner filed an Application For Adjustment of Status as a Permanent Resident pursuant to Section 245 of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. § 1255 ). Thereafter, and in accordance with Title 8, Section 245.6 of the Code of Federal Regulations, he was given a medical examination by the United States Public Health Service, and on March 26, 1966, the said Public Health Service issued a certificate classifying petitioner as a Class A-Sexual Deviate and petitioner was so notified.
After his appeal from the said certification, he was, on July 11, 1966, again examined by a Board of Medical Officers at which time his own physician, Dr. Theodore Polos, and his attorney, Mr. Burton C. Jacobson, were present. The Board affirmed the prior certification.
