Huh?

You're a green card holder, yes?

You want a medical visa for your nephew...1 .  why can't he go through the treatment in his home country? That would be the first question you'd also be asked when applying for a visa. 2. Can he afford ALL medical costs in the US?

 

Otherwise all info pops up as soon as you type it in google.

First question would be whether treatment is available in nephew's home country. And who'd pay the medicals bills.

You would  need to get something from doctors in his country that what he has they can't treat and he would be better served in US. Then you would need to have information of where he will be treated in US and show some medical insurance of money in the bank how you will be for a non-immediate family member (since you  cant add him to your insurance).

It doesn’t matter what relationship he has to anyone in the US.

 

the requirements for medical visas are pretty clear:

 

If you are seeking medical treatment in the United States, the consular officer may ask for further documents at your visa interview, which may include:

• Medical diagnosis from a local physician, explaining the nature of the ailment and the reason you need treatment in the United States.
• Letter from a physician or medical facility in the United States, stating they are willing to treat your specific ailment and detailing the projected length and cost of treatment (including doctors’ fees, hospitalization fees, and all medical-related expenses).
• Proof that your transportation, medical, and living expenses in the United States will be paid. This may be in the form of bank or other statements of income/savings or certified copies of income tax returns (either yours or the person or organization paying for your treatment).

Is this something you are paying for?

Medical visas have strict criteria. You can’t get one just because you think it would be better to be in an American hospital. It’s reserved for cases where specialist treatment is not available at home AND the treatment in the US has a strong likelihood of improving the condition. I remember a child from Central America being granted one after being so badly burned in a fire that he or she needed extensive plastic surgery and other surgeries that weren’t available in the home country.

OP has not been back so maybe not that urgent, however somebody contemplating spending this sort of money I assumed would have considered more cost effective options.
