In Limbo, mom has TB before slmex appointment

[MamaLove 0]

First of all, good day to all the generous people here on VJ. I seem in Limbo right now because after i paid my mother"s AOS online, ( it showed paid now) her doc in the Phils ordered her to have lungs xray as well (she has arthritis and it might be not just arthritis but tb on the bone) and it says there that she has something on her right lung and suggesting immediate medication.

My question is, should i continue with the process? I mean the medical thing even if we already knew she has it? OR let her finish medication from her doctor to be cleared off then just resume the process later on? But i dont even know if i can delay the whole petition process. I am totally clueless. I already have all the papers with me to submit to NVC (the financial docs and all that) and i also ready to fill out onnher behalf the ds 260 IV form but i dont know if i have to submit it now after learning my mom has it.

Please enlighten me. That would mean a very big help. Thank you all very much. God bless you all.

I would carry on assuming a cure is available.

If you carry on then she will be obligated to do the treatment with SLEC. You have to ask yourself where is she going to get the best treatment as I'm sure your goal is to have your mother cured and with you in the states. If she is on the normal SLEC TB regiment she will need to commit 6 months to work through this just to get to the interview. That is if she beats this.

There is a lot of soul searching that you and your family must take. Remember this is not about what you want this is about what is best for your mother.
