Maybe if you post in the Manila Embassy thread you might get more responses. I would think that if it's
not a deadly disease and you are being medicated for it then I am sure there would be some sort of provision for you. I have no idea....maybe some of the senior members can help you with this. God bless
I've read that even HIV cannot block your fiance from obtaining a visa. Of course, the process will be more difficult. But that is my understanding of the matter.
I don't know if it applys in your situation but believe a STD can be considered " class A " communicable diseese. which is grounds for inadmissability to USA. there is a waiver I-601. heres a link to info.
