Hello - not sure where to post this question. I'm Canadian and I'm in a relationship with a wonderful man from the US. We are seriously considering a future together. I am currently disabled due to a chronic illness (Fibromyalgia and CFS.) My guy wants me to marry him and move to the US. Do I have any chance of being accepted into the US as a disabled person? Here in Canada I am on social assistance but I do work part-time (very part-time) from my home.

What are our options? Thank-you for any comments.

Disability does not disqualify you. You may not get social assitance and your health insurance costs will be high. But other than no issue. I dont know enough about your illness but you can check on USCIS website about the vaccinations and exclusions.

As far as income, they don't care about your income. They will only look at the US Citizen.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!

If our friend can show enough income to support you, there is no problem. There won't be any social assistance here in the U.S. (you can't become a public charge) and your health insurance will be extremely expensive, unless you can be covered inexpensively through your friend's health insurance plan as a fringe benefit from his employer.

The only illnesses that would disqualify you would be communicable diseases.

Thought there was some red flags with mental illness's.
