Petitioner's Medical Condition's Impact on Visa?

[Nomi and Noor 0]

Hello All,

I hope someone can give me good advice. My fiance and I met last July with the intent of marriage when I visited Pakistan. Our families also met. After getting to know eachother over the phone and chats (lots of them) over the next 3 months we knew this was it. So we decided to get married with the our families' approval as well. When we met in July, I had already been diagnosed with Stage 2 T-Cell Lymphoma (My fiance and her family knew) and the topical treatments and light therapy were showing good results and I was hoping to get back to work in a few months.

We decided to go the K1 path since it would be quicker and applied in the beginning of February, 2012. Unfortunately, unexpedtedly and suddenly (within a month after sending the petition), my cancer stopped responding to the treatment and progressed to stage 4B. It was decided that going for a cure through a Bone Marrow Transplant is the best option. I have since been through Chemo (the results have been excellent, beyond expectation) and now going through radiation (also looking great). The bone Marrow transplant will be in Mid -August or so.

My question is

1.Should I mention my health condition in the second letter of intent which my fiancee will take to her interview? In the I-134 I will declare that I am collecting Disabilitgy Insurance and Social Security Disability Income (much more than the required guidelines).

I am sure they will ask her, what I do in USA and what is my disability since she will tell them about my field of work and the fact that I am currently undergoing treatment.

I certainly cannot lie about this and I am wondering if my being a cancer patirnt is something they would use against granting her the visa?

When we met and got engaged, I did not feel things woud get this serious. However, I have been responding great to the therapies and am very hopeful of a positive response and a complete cure, God willing. And my fiancee is so very supportive. Having her here will really be a boost for me.

Anyway help with this would be highly appreciated since I already have enough to worry about and this is making me crazier. We are still waiting for NOA2. 5 months are already up. I will call USCIS later today for that.

Thanks,

Ahmad

From what you have said your current health concerns should not impact your petition as long as you make 125% of the poverty guidelines.

Whether you mention it is up to you. I probably wouldn;t, but make sure your fiancee is well aware of it, your treatment plan etc in case it comes up at interview

She is well aware of all the details. I am just wondering if bringing the topic in the open myself would be a positive thing or negative.

Neither, in my opinion.

Thanks. I hope they don't say, "Why are you marrying a cancer patient?" since Cancer seems like a death sentence but isn't always so and we wouldn't be marrying if I weren't so positive about the recovery.

Finances should not be a problem. My disability insurance income from Metlife alone is way above the 125% of poverty guideline.

I am wondering if someone else has had to deal with medical issues during this process before???
