Hello members
Next year (2011) I will naturalize and intend to sponsor my parents.
My father has a long history of depression. He attempted suicide about 10 years ago and was diagnosed with schizofrenia at one point.
He is an intellectual type and somewhat of a "little genius" but not always able to cope with life's problems.
Nowdays he has recovered. He takes his medicine and has a social life. The scars remain though both emotional and physical.
He has one on his neck leftover from a self inflicted wound.
He has a clear criminal record and has never been violent with other people. He has never represented a danger to society but to himself. Also, categorically free of infective diseases.
What is the "medical examination" like? Do they check for general stuff like tuberculosis and broken bones or the entire medical history comes under scrutiny?
When times come to sponsor him, will his medical history prevent him from obtaining a green card?
Anyone been in a similar position?
