Is it possible for a pregnant woman to get an USA visa for medical reasons?

Question

I have been recommended to have a medical examination in the USA, but do not have a visa and I'm 26 weeks pregnant.
I can pay for the hospital expenses but I have never had a visa (not even asked for one). Please help!

Answer 1

Yes, a pregnant woman can get a medical visa. Please contact your local authorities in order to inquire about the process. If it is an emergency, then you might be able to get the process sped up somehow. Otherwise, they may or may not allow you to travel into the US before the baby is born, depending on the time it takes and how far along you are at the time you would travel. Again, your local authorities are the ones to ask about this.

Disregard ignorant answers. The American education system is severely lacking, and reading comprehension is obviously not a priority.

Answer 2

Depending on what country you are a citizen of you may not need a visa.

Canadians (where I am from) can travel to the US without a visa for I believe up to 6 months. If you choose to pay for medical expenses while there neither the US nor Canadian government care the same as they don't care if you eat at taco bell or the Ritz. (Although if care is not available in Canada sometimes public health insurance will even pay for the care in the US).

Answer 3

There is a Medical Emergency Visa, visit the US Embassy/Consulate in your country. Actually, call first to make an appointment. They are reviewed on a case by case basis.

Since you didn't indicate which country you are coming from the source below indicates these basic guidelines:

All applicants who wish to travel for medical treatment to the United States must have the following information/documents for the interviewing consular officer (see also the ‘things to bring’ box to the right):

Statements from medical doctors in outlining the diagnosis, previous treatment, and why additional treatment is not available. (It is suggested that you should consult more than one doctor/hospital, specialized in the specific medical problem);
Written verification from a hospital/medical doctor in the United States showing what treatment is possible, the appointment date, and the estimated cost of the proposed treatment. This can be in the form of a letter, fax or email;
Proof of ability to pay for the medical treatment. This can be in the form of bank account statements or an affidavit of support with substantiating documents from a relative in the U.S.;
Proof of binding ties to a residence abroad that would enable the consular officer to be sure that the applicant intends to return from the United States after the treatment in the United States is completed.

Applicants requiring medical treatment in the United States are requested not to apply before having all of the above-mentioned information. Please note that applicants who wish to receive medical treatment in the US are still subject to section 214(b) of the Immigration & Nationality Act. In other words, they must prove to the satisfaction of the interviewing consular officer that they have sufficient ties that would compel them to return to their country after a short-term visit. Receiving an expedited appointment and visa eligibility/receipt are two distinctly different and separate issues.

Answer 4

Call your local US Embassy. They will be able to help you apply for a Visa for medical reasons. I have seen many programs on TV here about people coming to this country for medical help.

Good Luck
