urgent question about medical conditions

[anhlam 0]

Can the consulate officer reject the visa or ask the petitioner to buy insurance if your fiance/fiancee' has a non-communicable disease such as diabetes, heart prolem, or kidney problem? I know that if you get communicable disease, such as HIV, tuberclosis.. then you are rejected. But I don't know about the non-communicable diseases. If you have any experience with the non-communicable diseases, please share your view.

thanks

Common conditions like diabetes, asthma, ezema etc are normally ok...best to get a doctors letter for your medical though to explain what you have and how you're dealing with it etc...

I have a serious rare disorder and the medical is going to be a case of judgement for me. I know how you feel. It's scary to think you can be denied for a medical problem thats genetic...and also not your fault and not contagious.

Good Luck

P.s go to the guides about and read the medical guide there is some info on medical conditions....

The medical is to determine whether or not you are going to cause a public health problem, primarily to others, once you are in the US. They are interested in communicable diseases primarily. Non-communicable diseases are not disqualifying.
