Medical Treatment Visas

Immigration Law - Medical Treatment Visas

Definition:

A medical treatment visa is a nonimmigrant visa that is issued to foreigners who need to enter the U.S for medical treatment. A medical treatment visa is similar to a visitor visa, except for the fact that you need to show documents. It is important to show a diagnosis from a doctor regarding your medical condition and why it is imperative that you receive treatment in the U.S.

Consequences of Medical Treatment Visas:

In some cases, it may be difficult to receive a medical treatment visa. You need to prove that you have enough funds to cover the costs of the treatment, including doctor's fees, costs of hospitalization and other medical expenses. Even with proof, there are no assurances that the visa will be granted. If you receive a medical treatment visa, it is important to remember that there is an expiration date and that you are not allowed to be employed during your stay.

What a Lawyer can do for you:

It is recommended to consult with an immigration lawyer when applying for a medial treatment visa. An immigration lawyer can help you get a medical treatment visa by making sure you have and present the necessary documents and proof that you are eligible for treatment in the U.S. An immigration lawyer can also work with you to appeal the denial.
