I’m going through unskilled-worker immigration as a caregiver — could a health issue hold me back?
I’m going through unskilled-worker immigration. If the medical exam reveals that I have high blood pressure and diabetes, I’d like to know if these health issues could hold me back, or if I could be denied an immigrant visa because of them.
Under U.S. immigration law, if someone is determined to pose a danger to U.S. society due to a mental or physical condition, obtaining an immigrant visa can be difficult. However, simply having high blood pressure or diabetes is unlikely to be seen as posing a danger to U.S. society, so it doesn’t appear this would cause a major problem for your unskilled-worker case.
