I Need an Advise please

[cryshiabelen 6]

Many thanks again to all of your advices. I really appreciate it. My mom had an appointment at the local health department here in Nevada for TB testing on 05/15 and will just call to cancel it since she decided to go home this coming weekend.  My Mom also made it clear to me that she doesn't want to come back here anymore.  Even though it hurts,I respect her decision and I think it will be the best for both of us. 

 

I hope she won't encounter any problems at the immigration here at US once she fly's back to Philippines.

She should (not can) go home. Bundle her on the next convenient flight and send her home. As a marriage counselor within my community I have on occasions purchased plane tickets to dispatch in-laws back home (and got reimbursed later of course 😁).

Mothers in law in my immigrant community are notorious for causing marriage friction upon their arrival although usually it is the man’s mother who is the culprit, not the woman’s in this case.

 

Send her home, all the money you spent is already spent and a sunk cost and shouldn’t come into the equation. Send her home, and have proof she departed so in case in the future she wants to come visit and it comes up, she has proof she departed before the test date. 
 

I know you love your mum but send her home now, because it’s not going to get better. Trust me it will be one of the best decisions you ever took and best for all including her.

OP was threatened with that?  Not seeing it in her statement

visa. I received a call from  the local public health here in our state that my mom needs to undergo TB testing, assessment and treatment (just incase she tested positive) next month for her green card and she doesn't want to attend it.  

This is a threat.

The health department called up stating that she needs to undergo TB testing so that they can clear her GC

And so is this.

 

OP should be litigating; medical was passed.

If mom is a public health risk due to TB, the government is free to litigate on its side, but mom did receive an immigration visa and entered on it.

Cryshiabelen, hopefully this will resolve the tensions in your family.

Really? She has the stamp in her passport and is an LPR. Pretty much a reach of imagination from someone who always claims only a judge can take their status away. 

 

I'm out.

I have never heard of such a thing. Sounds like a scam.

This is routine followup if the application was annotated with this from the medical. Not uncommon for several countries which have a significant community  circulation  of TB

I'm just curious since my mom will no longer attend her medical TB appointment here, will she have a problem leaving US? She had not received her GC yet so will Immigration ask for it at the airport or will question her? Thank you again.

No, why? She's leaving the US, all she needs is to show she can enter Philippines. And with Philippines passport, she can prove it.

 

Entering US would also be possible with endorsed stamp that is valid for a year. If she decides to move back, she can do it while the stamp is valid. Not sure if failing to attend TB appointment would immediately invalidate endorsed immigrant visa though.

Even if your mom does not have her plastic GC, she is already an LPR (aka GC holder).  The IR5 visa with CBP entry stamp in her passport serves as her temporary GC for 1 year.

 

In any case, unlike in the Philippines, there is no exit immigration at US airports, not even for tourists.  Your mom need only check in with the airline, then go through the TSA security checks and on to the boarding gate to fly back to the PH.

 

Also, no problem with not attending the medical check-up for TB.  Not sure if the health department staff explained it to you or your mom, but in my case, the Louisiana health department explained that TB screening has no effect on my immigration status as an LPR.  The medical check and optional treatment is for the sake of my well-being and US public health and safety.

Nope, no such rule.  For an LPR, the TB appointment is purely a matter of health, not immigration.  The TB appointment only affects immigration in the case of AOS applicants who have chest x-rays that indicate TB exposure.  OP's mom is not an AOS applicant.

Thank you for all of your response, it really gives me clarity when it comes to her case. I am really stressed out. I will buy her ticket today and hoping that everything goes well for both of us.  I do appreciate all of your help.
