I am assuming they want the medical done on my husband fairly fast. He does have Bipolar disorder, so I'm sure that is a factor.
Don't worry too much, as long as the treatment is not too costly ($19,965+), they can not use this to work against you.

Hey just wanted to let you guys know that the spouse is excluded from being medically inadmissible due to excessive demand. I should know as I have researched this as soon as it was decided I would be the one to move. I have a ton of medical issues that unfortunately stem from my autoimmune disease I was diagnosed with 12 years ago. The only thing that would possibly keep a spouse from being medically inadmissible is if they have a disease that would pose a threat to the community.
