L2 Visa health requirements

[coyote77 0]

Hi,

I'm near the process of applying for a L1 Visa, taking my family with me (wife and two kids). My wife has multiple sclerosis (non infectious nor contagious autoimmune disease). From a health insurance point of view, my employer's insurance company covers her, so that's no problem. And you wouldn't notice she has it unless I told you, she looks absolutely healthy and doesn't have any limitations thankfully.

My question is, when she applies for the L2 Visa, could the fact that she has multiple sclerosis be be an issue? What kind of health checks are made, and from those health checks, which ones would be showstoppers?

Thanks for your help!

The L2 visa is a non-immigrant visa, so no medical is required. If you and your family eventually want to get permanent residency (green cards), then a medical would be required. It's not a communicable disease, but I'm not sure if there are any other medical restrictions.

Out of curiosity, what kind of visas are considered immigrant visas?

Any visa which leads to a greencard.
