US Visa And Green Card Applicants With Health Issues Face Potential Denial

A new directive from the US State Department under President Donald Trump could dramatically reshape immigration policy. The memo, circulated to embassies worldwide, instructs officers to review applicants’ medical records closely, flagging conditions like diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and mental health disorders as potential “public charge” risks. Critics warn that this could deny visas and green cards to thousands of immigrants based on speculative healthcare costs. The rule extends even to family members’ health, raising alarm among immigration attorneys who say consular officers lack medical expertise.
