K1 visa with medical condition

[FrostyMist 1]

Could anybody tell me how likely my medical condition and disability is to cause a problem during my K1 visa application?

I was born with a very rare medical condition that prevents me from being able to work. I am under the care of a specialist consultant at my local hospital, who sees me every six months for routine checkups. My condition requires that I take medication daily. My eyesight is severely impaired and I must use a wheelchair outside of my home because I am unable to walk or stand for long amounts of time. Currently, I have a carer who is employed to assist me with tasks outside the home (such as shopping). She also helps me with cleaning my home, washing clothes, ironing, cooking, etc. She helps me for just four hours a week. I am very easily fatigued, which limits the amount of time that I am able to spend doing certain tasks.

The important thing that I should mention is that my condition is stable: I have not been admitted into hospital for over 7 years. In fact, my specialist was incredibally enthusiastic when I told him that I intended to travel to the U.S.

As I hope you'll all understand though, I'm very concerned about my chances of being approved for k1. If they ask me whether I can work, I will have to tell them no. I have no intention of seeking employment in the U.S. I do, however, have the intention of setting up some sort of home buisness as a source of income; even if it isn't quite as much as a person working full time could hope to earn.

This is something that my boyfriend and I have already considered very carefully, and we are both very certain that he will be able to support me without us having any need to rely on the state to take care of me. Both of his parents have also agreed to sign additional afridavits of support. In addition, my boyfriend owns his own home and does not have a mortgage to pay off. Will things like this work in our favor?

Unless your condition "contagious" it most likely not have an effect
