Newly discovered medical condition..

[MrsnMrsKing315 6]

Okay,

So I know that there is a full medical that is done before the interview (not there yet - just filed the I-130 on the 5th (yesterday), so just thinking ahead.) My wife just found out that she might have a condition known as False Brain Tumors. When it comes time for the medical to be done, if she is diagnosed, it will come up. What exactly do they look for in terms of doing the medical exam? Can she possibly be denied?

My assumption is that she should be fine as long as the condition isn't communicable.

any thoughts?

This will not cause a denial.

The medical checks for drug use, TB (chest x Ray to look for shadows on your lungs), certain STDs such as syphillis and they will ask questions pertaining to mental health to check that you are not a danger to yourself or others. They will also check her vaccination records to make sure they are up to date with the requirements.

I have epilepsy and have had a brain haemorrhage and stroke that have left me with partial paralysis. Not a problem at all in terms of approval/denial. But your wife will need to take paperwork from the specialist (assume she is under a neurologist) documenting the condition. This is recommended for anyone with a chronic or serious medical condition.

Thanks so much for your reply! That makes perfect sense, we both were getting a bit nervous. Glad to know that a medical note should be all she needs, she's in otherwise "perfect" health. As for you, keep pushing! thanks again!
