Thank you aleful. If my brother could not come, we might have to convince our Dad. Right now, we are trying to get info it is even feasible to petition her. We are trying to figure out what is best for her at this time.....she does not even want to come - this is our biggest problem. We are hoping we can spend time with the family while she is still around......

Thank you belinda63. My insurance includes parents but will have to check on pre-existing condition. Did you mean a year from the time of filing? We'd like to start petition now but knowing she is sick, we are not sure if she is going to pass medical clearance. Somebody told me we cannot petition siblings.... ;(

Thanks,

Hello VJers,

My brother and I have been in the US for quite a while now. Our parents and younger brother are left behind as they have no interest on immigrating to another country. Recently, our Mom started her hemodialysis therapy and will be doing it twice a week for the rest of her life. She has been dealing with renal disease for quite a long time now. Our brother has to quit his job, prompting his wife to work long hours. He decided to move in with our parents to help our Dad take care of Mom. The cost of dialysis, cocktail of medications and other incidental expenses are astronomical and we have just started.

We are planning on bringing Mother over here so she can be treated at the Dialysis Center where my brother works and possibly enroll her in one of our health insurance as dependent. Dad decided to stay at this time but we need our brother to help us take care of Mom......and we are not sure if this is even possible. Your input is highly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.
