B-2 Visitor Visa for Medical Treatment

Some applicants for the B-2 Visitor visa seek entry into the U.S. for medical treatment.

If you are looking to come to the U.S. for medical treatment, here are some things that you will need to know before you file your application.

Ties to your country

The most important aspect in any B-2 application is being able to demonstrate strong ties to your country.

Examples of strong ties include:

There will be extensive documentation required when applying for the B-2 for medical treatment.

You will need to provide a diagnosis from your physician confirming your ailment.
You may have to attend an appointment at a U.S. Consular with a physician. They will need to determine if the medical treatment you seek in the U.S. is not available in your home country.
An estimated report of the total time and cost of your medical treatment will be required from your physician.
Bank statements will be required to demonstrate you have sufficient funds to expense the cost of the medical treatment in the U.S.
You will also need to show proof that you can pay for living expenses while visiting the U.S.
You must show evidence that you have been accepted for treatment by a U.S. physician and have an appointment.

Applicants with contagious diseases may be ineligible for the B-2 for medical treatment.
If someone instead of you will be paying for your medical treatment, it must be a close relative and they will need to provide supporting documentation to prove it.
It is strongly encouraged that you seek the help of an immigration attorney when applying for the B-2 for medical treatment.
