A friend of mine is beginning cancer treatment here in AZ. He'd like to have his wife from the Philippines to come and be with him through the treatment process. Would a B-2 medical visa be the correct visa to appy for?

I was under the impression  that a B2 medical applied to the patient seeking treatment.  However, an emergency Humanitarian visa would be appropriate, imo.

I agree medical would be for her medical issues.

 

I might be inclined to go for a B2 with an emergency based appointment.

 

Has she looked to visit previously?
