Cancer and N-648

[JD2 186]

Does undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for a stage 2 brain tumor qualify for a N-648 approval?  English is the immigrant's first language but worried about side effects of the treatments and disease itself affecting the ability to pass the test.  The tumor is near the speech area of the brain which is why they could not operate.

My first thought is I might give the N400 a miss for the time being

I get that but she wants to do it for several reasons including filing for parents.

She can only qualify if she has issues already AND if she has a history of this for some time documented by medical professionals. The bar for this is high. Hypotetical issues do not qualify for N-648.
