I'm very sorry to read that... I don't think that this will influence the visa procedure. I'm a recovering thyroid cancer patient myself. The embassy knew that and it did not matter. I'm wishing you

My fiance was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and I'm afraid his visa will be denied. My world is quickly coming to a halt. I just needed to share.

That's very unfortunate and I am very sorry about it. Don't lose hope and continue to have faith. Nothing but faith and hope keeps us going as human beings. God take care of you and your fiance. God bless us all!

It will influence it if he does not have health insurance coverage in the US or the money to pay for treatment.

I'm sorry. I didn't get that the USC was the one diagnosed. I thought it was the Alien, who would be covered by the USC through the Affidavit of Support. My American fiance will add me to his health insurance tomorrow that we are getting married, as these changes have immediate affect

I think its the foreign fiance who was diagnosed. My heart goes out to this lady. It takes a lot of strength to be in her position.

OP, I am so sorry to hear your news. Our thoughts and well wishes are with you and your loved one. Please don't give up hope.

Let this be a reminder to those of us in good health to remember how lucky we are. Some of us are separated from our partners, some of us are with them but stuck abroad, some of us are facing money troubles and all of us are facing the tremendous frustration of this process--but we must always be grateful for our good health.
