[tacuma2011 0]

Hello everybody:

I am so scared, my mother has an interview in the Peruvian embassy next week, I am a citizen and I am trying to bring my mother to the U.S.A. to live here. Today she went to

the authorized physician by the embassy and they told her that her medical examination results will be sent directly to the U.S. Embassy, she just receive a paper the said that maybe she has INCIPIENT PULMONARY FRIBOSIS, because of the radiologist examination of the X-ray. She does not feel anything, she did not have anything before, the doctor just recommended her to go to neumologist specialist.

My question is Can the embassy denied the visa ? , Can the embassy instruct her to do more test to clarify her condition since is a pulmonary disease ? The paper does not say another thing just the INCIPIENT PULMONARY FIBROSIS.

Please where can I find more information about it ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Pulmonary fibrosis is not an inadmissible medical disorder. It's not contagious. They won't deny her visa specifically for that reason. However, it is a serious lung disease that might require long term treatment. It's possible the consulate might consider this when making the public charge determination. Your mother really should see a doctor. Early treatment is usually as simple as using a steroid inhaler when needed.

Did you want more information about pulmonary fibrosis or about diseases that would cause someone to be inadmissible?

Thanks for your answer. My mother has some medical exams before and nobody found anything, I am really scared and worried about her health. I talked to the nurse of the doctor who checked her and she told me that the doctor just make a recommendation that she has to see a doctor by her own, because they did not find anything more or nothing relative to tuberculosis or another thing. Please, Can you tell which diseases are considered to be inadmissible for the visa? and what do you mean when you said " the consulate consider this when making the public charge determination ", I want to know that just to be prepared. Thank you so much for your help.

The list of inadmissible diseases are:

1. Tuberculosis

2. Syphilis

3. Chancroid

4. Gonorrhea

5. Granuloma Inguinale

6. Lymphogranuloma Venereum

7. Hansen's Disease (Leprosy)

What I meant was that the consular officer is supposed to consider the health of the intending immigrant when making the public charge determination. If the intending immigrant is healthy and young enough to work and be self-supporting then the consulate usually won't require more than the minimum income from the sponsor in order to satisfy the requirements of INA 213A. On the other hand, an intending immigrate who isn't healthy enough to work will need ongoing support, and the consulate will want to see evidence that the sponsor can afford to provide this support. If the health condition of the intending immigrant is going to require ongoing medical treatment, especially if that medical treatment is likely to be expensive, then the consulate may want evidence that the sponsor can either afford to cover these medical expenses or has made provisions to provide medical insurance for the intending immigrant. An unhealthy immigrant who will require long-term medical treatment, combined with a sponsor whose income barely meets the minimum requirements, is a recipe for someone who is likely to become a public charge in the US. It's US immigration policy not to import Medicaid patients.
