Down syndrome

My fiances 9 year old son has downs syndrome this will not be a problem in medical or interview ?

No, it won't be a problem as far as the medical exam and interview are concerned.

I think what you need to be concerned about are the amount of special child care and education costs in the US.

I'm sorry about your baby.

If you have a good paying job then there's really nothing to worry about.

All the best.

The reason you should be concerned is that while DS is not an issue for the medical or interview, the extra financial burden that his condition places on you will be considered for the visa. Ie if you were just scraping past the poverty line, they may deny you, arguing that you need more money to look after his needs (special education, medical issues such as heart conditions common to those with DS etc). I recommend bringing proof of insurance with you to the interview.

Yeah with that income and if you can show proof the child will be covered by your insurance, you should have no trouble.
