I hv a B1 visa of 1 year valid until may 2007-M . I was in US for 1 month while my I-94 allow 3 months. but for urgent medical treatment i entred hopital for 3 days, i hv had a travel insurance but I didnt contacted financial service to cover my hospitalization, neiter complet paper of medical-aid.

I want to ask if i will hv trouble in POE if i go back to US. or if I apply for a H1b visa

can I use this visa for touristic visa, it was basicaly to attemp a coferance there.

can I ask for a GC or long stay for follow-up because kind of heart prblm i hv is rare and need special treatment


TY
 
Aljawal,
Your post was not very comprehensible, however I will try my best to answer. Forgive me if I misunderstood your queries.

H-1B, B-1 or B-2 visas/status do not care about your medical condition. If you want to move to the US on a GC, then yes you will need to pass a medical.
Your heart problem (sorry to hear about it) does not entitle you to a GC. However if you qualify for a GC under any other classification, your heart problem will not disqualify you.
 
Hello,

Thank you for the answer, i got a half of what i wanted.
srry, I try toexplain the second half:

during my last visit i was hospitalized, i had to go to financial department of hospital to fill some papers (with my travel inssurance or to apply for financial medical assistance) but i didnt....so the hospitalization still uncovered

1- now i am in my country, I want to visit US again, I wonder if i will hv problem in POE because of that.

2- I got my visa to assist to a conferance (i got a scholarship), can I visit us again as a tourist?

3- can I stay in US b'coz of my health condition, can I get a wrok permit or extension for long time (the disease has no cure, only treatments most of them in clinical trial)

plz another question, i was refused for a residence in canada coz of my health in 2001, do you think i can bring them to justice for humanitarian rights, IMAO


Thank you
 
Aljawal,
So you owe money to that hospital for services I gather? Most likely USCIS is unaware of that, but the credit bureaus may know (but if you never had an SSN then perhaps not). Regardless of that, you should pay back what you owe to the hospital. Not because it may hinder you from visitng the US, but because that is the right thing to do in my opinion.
Now to answer your queries:-

(1) You never know. In today's time, most federal departments are inter-linked. Depending on how much you owe that hospital, and how much effort they put in to track you down, perhaps DHS may have access to information that may land you in hot water at a POE.

(2) See above

(3) Your health will not get you any work permit. Best case scenario is you may come to US for treatment and you may be able to get an EOS by presenting a valid case to stay beyond the 6 months one normally gets. However you will have to show proof that you can cover all costs associated with your treatment. Unfortunately you owing money to another hospital does not bode well.

Canada is very strict as far as health requirments are concerned when allowing one to immigrate. Since healthcare is covered by Canadian provinces, CIC ensures that an intending immigrant will not come and become a burden on the health system. I seriously doubt you can bring them to justice for refusing you permanent residency.
 
About hospital, it was an emergency, i didnt as for it, but doctors wanted to take some Echo and ECG to study my case, it was important for them. they didnt asked me to pay (just to fill some papers to apply for a medicare), they asked me to stay in US for follow up unfortunately i come back home coz of return ticket and financial situation. I told to a doctor I want to leave because i havent money, so he said you have to save your life first.

I hv experience dont you think that there is a way to live in US for a while, legaly. for humanitarian rights or so?, i want to try a H1b or even overstay my visa. I wont to end in my bed at my younger age.

Click to expand...

No; you appear to be an intending immigrant and likely to become a public charge. That's two grounds of inadmissibility you need to overcome.
 
1- i am NOT interested or talking about canada...only there you hv public charge. it is a cruel system,

2- if i look an immigrant intendent why i got a B1 visa, i had opportunty ti oversaty it, so dont judge ppl........thanks anyways

aljawal,

Unfortunately your disease will not give you any immigration benefits. If you have any communicational disease that will make inelegible for permanent residence in USA as well as Canada; unless you have been granted asylum or refugee status. Public charge is a desqualification factor in both Canada and USA.

You can try to apply for a humanitarian visa in your country, but that visa will not make you elegible for a work permit. In general, humanitarian visas are sponsored by hospitals and it is exclusively for treatment without an intend to immigrate. Those types of visas are the hardest ones to get, but not immposible...

Your best shoot will be apply for an H1B visa... find a company to sponsor you.. and start from there.

Good Luck
 
ty for this answer, it is more clear for me.

it s not a communicational disease. you just tired and short breath when physical effors. it limit somewhat the physical capacity. most of meds are under clinical trial US. Europe.

i think h1b could be a way. but how do get a sponsership?
