I was denied B1/B2 visa twice. Now I have a son who has Erb's Palsey, the best place for treatment is a Hospital in Puerto Rico. His father is a US citizen we are not together anymore. What do I do?

If his father is a USC why can he not bring his son to the US for treatment. I know you must want to be with your son but if the US Consulate in your home country denied your visa ( I assume you brought proof of ties to your country and proof of your son medical condition) then this may be an option for your son.

I applied for the visa long before i had him. I just don't know if i should try again if my chances will be good

From what I know Erb's Palsey is normally easily cured within 6 months of childs birth. What happened?

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

I believe that submitting a sick child for medical treatment in a specialty facility is a very good reason to approve a B2 visa for not only the child but also the accompanying parent.

I'd say you need a letter from the hospital outlining treatment duration and cost, and you have to proof that you have sufficient insurance plus funds available to pay for all of this.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Erb's palsey usually fixes itself within 6 months my son is going on six months and his left arm is still totally paralized.

This happened in Antigua (in the Caribbean) and from what i have been told if he doesn't get the required treatment he may never use his arm.

There is only one definitive way of finding out.

And who told you the best treatment was in PR? When you go to the Consulate you should take information like:

What doctor will treat your son?

Who will cover the expenses?

Where will you stay?

How is the treatment program?

And info from your sons current doctor explaining his condition and the contact between him and the US doctor to date.

As a USC (your son) he should be eligible for free or low cost medical care throughout the US.
