Inadmissible for having mental disorder?

[KingOfTheWild 16]

Hey everyone,

 

I just got done researching a lot of things and preparing myself for the rest of this k1 journey. I noticed that several sites including uscis stated that if the beneficiary has or had any mental illness associated with harmful behavior will not be issued a visa. 

 

A brief explanation of my fiance's medical history: diagnosed at age 11 with Psychosis, had been treated up until age 18, stopped for a while and has been stable for 2 years. However, the past 2 years he hasn't sought treatment and is not taking meds. 

 

What do we need to prepare for this? Will he be rejected because of this?

He will need a note from his treating doctor that he is not a threat to himself or others before they’ll issue a visa. So if he hasn’t gone to the doctor in two years, time to start going again. Is he in some sort of non-medicated therapy?

No, he hasn't had therapy nor medication in 2 years.

Think long term- this note will be required - have him go back to the doctor even if he is stable now. You want the record of him being treated (even if just a check up to confirm he’s fine) so you can get that note before medical exam for visa interview.
