A parent has a valid American B1/B2 visa. They wish to take their child for medical treatment in the US, a procedure that isn't available in the home country. They already know the cost and have money to cover it fully. Does the parent need a Medical visa?

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

There is not a medical visa, the B is used. Does the child have a B?

The infant is a citizen, I'm told.

Sounds like it may be complicated.

Any elaboration?

I'm also learning something new here.

Without knowing the details of the case and obviously you do not either impossible to say, you just mentioned enough to go hmmm.

Understood. I was just trying to help. All I was told was that the kid needs a procedure that's unavailable in home country. They already have a doctor's note on both ends- the referral note and appointment note. The procedure has to do with cranial technology. This is ALL I was told. 

 

I was asked this question but couldn't provide an accurate answer. So I decided to share on VJ.

Certainly an interesting question but how could anybody answer it without knowing the details?

Mmm I thought the information given was sufficient. Anyway, that's all I could gather.

The answer is no, they do not.  They need a B visa, which they have.

 

Hopefully the little one has a US passport.  If not, this is also needed.
