Greetings and salutations.
I am an American Citizen that retired to Nigeria four years ago. Unfortunately I was involved in a car accident that rendered me paraplegic. My Nigerian Physician wrote a letter to the embassy in Lagos requesting that I travel to the USA for advanced therapy.
My wife is my primary care provider because I can not function as a recent paraplegic. So she applied for a tourist visa to accompany me to the USA for my treatment.
Lo and behold a Visa Officer in Lagos denied her visa application without even looking at all my medical documentation. She recommends that she applies for a spousal visa.
First, time is of the essence and I don't have the time it takes to do a spousal visa due to my situation.
Second, we do not wish to live in the USA and see applying for a spousal visa as a waste of time and resource.
What are my choices and line of action?
Thank you very much.
