If Syphilis is detected during my exams for the I-693, does this mean that I will be inadmissible for the green card although I would receive the proper medical treatment?
Do I have to wait until the disease has been treated to be able to finishing the process?
I mean, I will go through treatment and then I could continue with the paperwork?
How long do I have to wait?
After treatment, I will be classified as class B condition. Could that be considered as potential condition to deny the approval of your green card?

Immigration attorneysThere are two options. You can apply for a waiver while under treatment but this is class A inadmissibility. After treatment, no waiver is required because it is then a class B determination.
