Medical visa to the United States

Medical services in the United States, despite their high cost, are in demand worldwide. It is believed that American doctors have the best qualifications, and their hospitals are equipped with advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment for various diseases. This is why American healthcare is considered one of the most advanced and effective in the world, and many Ukrainian citizens, when faced with health issues, raise funds for a trip. However, before starting preparations, it is necessary to obtain permission to travel to the U.S. For a trip with the purpose of medical treatment, a B-2 visa is required. It is advisable to start the application process at least 3 months before the planned departure, as the review of your request at the embassy may take time. In some cases, when urgent medical care is needed or when accompanying a relative or employer requiring such care, there is an option for expedited appointment scheduling, which significantly speeds up the visa application process. Under such circumstances, it is essential to promptly prepare the document package and complete all necessary forms.

U.S. Visa Application Process

The U.S. visa application process in Ukraine includes the following steps:

• payment of the consular fee;
• completion of the visa application form on the website;
• preparation of necessary documents and photographs;
• submission of the application to the U.S. embassy;
• scheduling an interview at the U.S. embassy;
• successful completion of the interview and submission of biometric data.

Attention must be paid at each stage, as the outcome of the entire process directly depends on it. Remember that a single denial can irreversibly damage your visa history, leading to problems when obtaining future permission to stay in the country.

Documents for Applying for a Medical Visa to the U.S.

A visa for treatment in the United States requires the applicant to provide the following documents:

• receipt of payment for the consular fee in the amount of 160 USD;
• a valid passport with sufficient (1-2) blank pages, expiring no earlier than 6 months after the trip;
• completed online DS-160 visa application form (for the interview, only the printed form with the ten-digit barcode confirming submission for review is required);
• photographs meeting U.S. embassy standards (size 5×5 cm, on a white or light gray background, taken within the last 6 months, etc.);
• a letter from your doctor indicating the diagnosis and justifying the need for treatment in America;
• confirmation from the doctor and hospital in the U.S. of their readiness to provide medical services, including information on timing and cost.

Additionally, prepare supplementary documents that may be requested by the consular officer during the interview:

• internal passport;
• tax identification number certificate;
• employment verification document indicating position and salary;
• proof of personal or sponsor financial guarantees sufficient to cover treatment and stay expenses in the U.S.;
• property ownership data;
• marital status information;
• copy of pension certificate (for retirees);
• certificate from an educational institution (for students);
• copy of birth certificate and travel permission from both guardians (for children).

Documents from the second list do not need to be submitted immediately with the main ones. They will be provided upon request by the consular officer.

The consulate always reserves the right to request additional documents. It is impossible to predict in advance what you might need, but when applying for a U.S. visa, it is better to be prepared for anything.

Preference should be given to original documents. Documents can be in Russian or Ukrainian languages.

Timeframe and Cost of Obtaining a Medical Visa to the U.S.

Obtaining a U.S. visa in Ukraine can take 2-3 weeks. Preparing the necessary document package and submitting it to the U.S. embassy in Kyiv takes a few days, but the duration of its review depends on the individual aspects of the case and the workload of the staff. Naturally, if there are compelling reasons, a visa can be expedited. In this case, the cost will be higher than usual. Overall, it is impossible to state exactly how much it costs to obtain a U.S. visa. The cost of the visit permit primarily consists of the consular fee and the services you request. Assistance from our firm’s consultants is paid additionally and depends on the visa processing time and the chosen service package.
