Thomas-n-Elena
Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
The interview went very well except the officer asked about a medical issue that was two years old and no longer a problem. He asked Elena if she told me about the problem her answer was "Yes". The consular officer wanted a letter from me stating that I was aware of the condition(no longer anything), that I understood the US govt was not going to pay for treatment if the problem reoccurred, and that I understood my insurance would not cover it either. Elena had to have another medical exam at home and send the results to Moscow before they would complete the visa.
I sent the letter as soon as I heard even though there is no information on the application or the paperwork that states what kind of medical insurance I have. I checked with my insurance company and there is no preexisting condition clause for my insurance so they would cover it. I was not happy and called the embassy and talked to the supervisor for the consular officers and explained that they should not speak on any subject that they have no knowledge of just to frighten someone who is already nervous. This added a delay of 1 week to receipt of visa.
