Pre-Existing condition

Hi there,

 

My fiance' and I are about to start our K1 journey to get him to the US.  I've read that the medical exam he would need to take eventually is to ensure he's not coming over with any kind of communicable disease/anything that would require constant care that would make him at risk for being a public charge.   My fiance' worked in IT up until 2013 where he stopped working due to nerve-related pain in his head (SUNCT/cluster headaches). There isn't a cure and isn't something that will kill him or be contagious, just super painful that makes every day stuff be fairly difficult to manage sometimes.   Will his lack of work history from 2013 to present and/or his headaches pose a problem on getting an approval?  Worse case scenario, he comes over and doesn't work for a while until there's a treatment that might help him out. Any advice on this? Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance!

as long as you have the ability to pay for the treatment and support your spouse it should be fine. I would recommend finding doctors and determine the costs of managing the care so you can show you are capable of covering the medical care.
