Question details
What kind of visa can I get for medical treatment. I have an appointment with a Surgeon in Anderson. Can the visa be extended without leaving America?
Typically, medical treatment in the USA is undertaken on a B-1 ("Business" visa. Strange, huh?). But do not get confused. Consulates often mark visas as B-1/B-2 or even B-2 (visitors/tourist) for medical treatment. Once here, you can ask for extensions of stay if the circumstances so require. I remember extending the stay of a child and his parents for two years (in 6-monthly chunks), where the baby was being treated for ongoing medical problems.
My experience with Rajiv's organization has been fantastic. His understanding of the nuances of the immigration laws are highly valued by my organization.
My point of contact was Diane who was a delight to work with. She gave me detailed instructions at each stage and periodically followed up when there was any perceived delay.
I would most readily recommend Immigration to anyone who needs any service related to immigration.
