Thank you. My wife did 6 months of treatments with pills last year that she took on video every day. Assuming that the pills did what they are supposed to do, what I believe they are seeing is damage from the disease. She’s had some other health issues. We have great insurance in the US. We are paying out of pocket in the DR for any medical visits and treatments she has which is a killer. I’d like her to get tested for things here.

Thank you for your response. She is emigrating with my six year old stepdaughter from the Dominican Republic. I had applied for an i-130 in January of 20 or 21. Lol. Idid two applications, 1 for each I recall seeing S1 and S2 in letters recently. They somehow have my stepdaughter as a completely separate case and want to do a separate interview (for a six year old???) and haven’t given her a medical exam date from what I’m gathering if that makes sense??? It’s been really difficult and considerably longer than I anticipated.

I am new here and found this board trying to figure out what to do with a similar situation. My wife had Tuberculosis last year and underwent 6 months of treatment Finishing in September of 2021 in her country. She’s since been to the US and back. Finally, after being in the I-130 process for 2.5 years and an interview at the embassy on the horizon, she had a medical exam and they made her do a sputum test over a 3 day period because they don’t like the look of her lungs. They told her she needs to wait 8 weeks and they cancelled her interview. They also have my young stepchild on a separate interview situation and she’s only 6 but that’s besides the point. I don’t entirely understand what’s going on but I can see this is going to run into the next school year and we’re really down about this. What can I do or is this just what it is?This process has taken years.
