Both my parents have a valid 10yr visitors visa to the US. They have
already visited me once in 2002.
In Feb'04, my father suffered a stroke during a Heart ByPass surgery, in
India. This has resulted in severe muscular spasticity and contractures in
all his four limbs and speech impairment along with poor vision. Apart from
that, he is medically stable and maintaining good health.
The muscle contractures have impaired him from mobility and using his hands.
So basically he is mostly confined to the bed or has to be moved around with
wheelchair assistance..
I have discussed his case with some doctors here in TX medical center and
they expressed that it would help a lot if the patient were here to do an
accurate diagnosis for his case.
My worry is, will there be any problems with the immigration if I
try to bring him over here? The plan is just to keep him with me for a few
months..which would really help him boost his morale and confidence.. adds a
change of atmosphere(we all kids live here in the US)...and at the same time
consult with doctors over here and see what other treatment options do we
have here that are not in India.
My fear is that, after going through the whole ordeal of airlifting him all
the way from Hyd to Houston, what if the immigration officer does not grant
enough time to stay here in the US?
Is there any way that we can ensure his stay in the US atleast for a period
of 6 months?
please advise..!!!!
