potential medical history issue

[photomile 101]

Hi all, another question, but something that I've seen that's worrying me rather badly while we do our research.

The medical information on the 'Classes of Aliens ineligible' page...

Basically, a couple of years ago, I was young and I was stupid and I attempted suicide, I went to the hospital, got the antidote, spent a whole night awake and throwing up and had an awakening, nothing I ever intend to do again i can assure you, and frankly the episode changed my life. The problem is, I have since, been on Anti depressants, not for suicidal thoughts but to control emotional states, (guess that's what I get for working in a call center that just got shut down for the way it treats it's staff)...

The page outlines that the alien is ineligible

(I) to have a physical or mental disorder and behavior associated with the disorder that may pose, or has posed, a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the alien or other

or so on and so forth...

This is obviously in my medical history, and whilst I'm off the A'ds now and finding my lady has been another thing in a long line of things that has helped me off them, I'm a little scared that my medical history is going to ruin this completely.

Any thoughts or advice, welcome.

Have you had a look at previous posts on VJ about similar cases? I just had a quick look and it seems that most people got a doctor's certificate to explain the situation. I just did a search under 'antidepressants'. There are few cases which sound similar.

Hi andie, you're right, I should have searched! Thanks
