K1 visa, HIV positive, what i can do before interview (merged)

[Kkpdl 1]

We're appling the K1 visa now, and I am hiv positive.

I want to know what I can do in advance before the interview?

Make an appointment for doctor? or ready some documents else for interview ? 

I have about a mouth time for interview, i want do something in advance, not only waitting in passive. 

 

my fiance have no any sense about it, only comfort me no need worry about it, because hiv is not a ban now

i feel so lonely......i don’t believe pray and do nothing,

i want do something, tell me what i have to do now, I need help,

any organization or lawyer can help my visa case?

 

Thankful!!!

It is not ban now but if you fiance income is not significantly good, your chance of approval is low because IO has a reason to believe you will become burden for the US.

His income is ok.

I want to know any documents i can ready before the interview?  

like make an appointment for doctor there? need doctor or hospital show a "receive letter"?

If we married, his insurance can cover me ? or i can get my own insurance? 

 

Thank you!!!

I know you say his income is "ok", but I will just preface that with US heathcare is one of the most expensive in the world. It might not be a bad idea to have a joint sponsor prepared as a back, if requested by USCIS.

 

If married and he has an employer-based plan, his insurance will likely allow you to be added. It does vary from plan to plan, but the vast majority support adding a spouse, and becoming married is a qualifying event to permit a change. You can also get your own insurance instead - either privately (expensive), through your employer (once you get your EAD and work, if you so choose), or through the Affordable Care Act (likely to be repealed/replaced? in the future). What exactly is covered or not varies from plan to plan. I don't know exactly what treatments and monitoring is required for HIV, but it's potentially only partially covered. That's something you and your spouse will need to research for the specifics.

 

As for the interview, did you do your medical yet? If so, they should have that information already.

Yes, I've did my Medical examnation last week,and told them I'm HIV+

I read a case before, they need many documents to apply a visa waiver to U.S.

 

what we can do now is better?  mail to USCIS ask about my case? they will answer to us honest?

i want to do some works in advance before the visa interview, 

I don‘t want just ready documents then if visa officer ask me to supplementary some documents, 

Long distance relationship is hard, I don't want waste time, I don‘t want only waitting now but do nothing...

 

my english not so good, I hope you can understand,

Thankful !!!

It is not USCIS responsibility for your case anymore, any decision in your interview will be at officer's discretion.

Here are some other posts about this topic:

So, it sounds like you should make sure you and your fiance's finances are all in order for the affidavit of support, and to be proactive, you could get a note from your doctor stating that you are in good health, taking medications, and not likely to have big health expenses related to uncontrolled HIV.

Here is information from the CDC about the medical exam and what they're looking for and what would cause you to fail the medical exam. https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/medical-examination-faqs.html#5

Any records you have of your treatment and cure might be helpful to have on hand.

 

I think that most people who have trouble with K1 visa is because there is some kind of doubt about their relationship being genuine, rather than because of appropriately treated or cured infections.  Try to stay calm, gather all of your medical history, and be honest.
