Urgent B2 Visa for Wife to Accompany Sick U.S. Citizen Child – Morocco

Urgent B2 Visa Expedition Request – Need Advice

I am a U.S. citizen father of a 2-year-old U.S. citizen son who has a serious lung condition and recurrent infections since birth. He needs medical treatment in the U.S. and must travel as soon as possible.

His Moroccan mother (my wife) is applying for a B2 visa to accompany and care for him during treatment. She has two other children from a previous marriage — one is disabled — and she will be leaving them in Morocco temporarily, which shows strong ties to return.

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation in Morocco or a comparable country:

• How to best request an expedited B2 visa appointment due to urgent medical need? Is there a high chance her visa will be approved since she has no intention to immigrate to the US because she has other kids

• Is it possible for me to appear at the U.S. Embassy with my son to explain the urgency before her scheduled interview?

Any experiences, tips, or success stories would be greatly appreciated.

She can certainly seek an emergency appointment 

 

Neither you or your son need a visa, begs the question why do you not fly today when it is so urgent?

Couldn't agree more.

The chance of success is 1-5% I'd say.

If the kid needs medical attention, buy a ticket and go today. Your wife may not be able to join you, but it's about child's health...

Sorry this is very blunt but dealing with Casa is hard

 

A team of Moroccan and US Drs would decide emergency medical care for your son

those papers decide if son (even if you have his US passport) control emergency care treatment in US and if he can travel

Lung treatment if TB ?

You,  the USC, can travel and bring him here if you have the above (US drs,  approval for him to travel and his US passport)

 

the mother's  2 children left in Moroc is not a strong tie/ she could possibly come and Adjust to stay 

and when she gets her green card , file to bring children here or you could petition for them as your step children

 

Past Moroccan experiences:

USC lived in Moroc with Morccan husband 

She got cancer and came here for treatment

As she was dying, he applied to visit her with all US and hospital statements

He owned Moroc business and his own apartment

and Casa denied him to even visit his dying wife and he had strong Moroc ties

 

chances for your wife to get this visa in Casa and real slim

BUT she can try

allah yessir

Thank you all for your input. Yes, my son has his CRBA and U.S. passport, and we can get the U.S. medical documents needed. The main issue is that my wife doesn’t want me to travel alone with him because he’s only 2 years old and needs his mother’s care during both the trip and treatment. This is why we’re trying for an emergency appointment for her B2 visa, even though we understand the chances in Casablanca are slim. Given the urgency of his medical condition, we feel it’s important to at least try.

Can you afford to wait months for decision? Even with expedite it takes months.

And of course, nothing can happen until there is B1/B2 petition on file.

And have a Plan B

I asked about TB (lung issue) because of the following

 

A person with active, infectious tuberculosis (TB) generally cannot travel to the United States, as it is a communicable disease of public health significance. However, individuals with latent TB or those who have completed treatment for active TB may be eligible to travel. Waivers may be available in certain situations, such as for children needing treatment in the US or for cases where treatment has not been completed but is deemed safe

 

You say wife doesn't want you to bring him as he needs her care but even with a tourist visa (if she gets one), it is only good for 6 months 

and if your son needs extended treatments (more than 6 months), he would be staying behind with you / CO may bring this up in her interview

Does it apply to US citizens too? Just curious, never thought of that. The rule makes sense, but how can US citizen be denied entry the States?

Yep, in reality we probably experience it all the time without knowing

What makes you think the 2 year old has TB?

The doctors in Morocco Never stated he has an active TB, he was undergone a blood test and immunology test which was normal but the CT SCAN they said what it seems to be a round bag in the right lung that is causing him to get sick frequently since birth they discharged him after being in hospital for two week and was put on oral antibiotics and was given another CT SCAN showing the same results. but no TB is never there
