treated syphilis

[mari04 100]

I have a question. My fiancee from Russia is 32. When she was 20 her boyfriend got her infected with syphilis. She did not have any symptoms but she went and got treatment. It never came up again for 12 years. She is totally healthy. However, in case of syphilis antibodies to the bacteria stay in the bloodstream for life. Can this prevent her from getting K1? What should we do? We are currently in the process of gathering I129F documentation.

Probably not.

However:

What if the applicant had syphilis? Applicants who have had syphilis must present the panel doctor with a written certificate, signed by a doctor or public health official, proving that the applicant was adequately treated. Applicants who ever had a positive VDRL or other blood test for syphilis, and were not treated must give a written explanation signed by the applicant's doctor to the panel physician.

She will be tested for Syphilis with her medical but should not be a problem

I know for sure it will not be an issue.
