I'm sorry to hear about your health situation. If you have an appointment with a hospital in the U.S., your next step is to apply for a B-2 Visitor Visa for medical treatment. Here’s what you should do:

  1. Gather Supporting Documents:
  • Medical Diagnosis: Obtain a detailed letter from your current doctor explaining your diagnosis and why you need treatment in the U.S.
  • Appointment Confirmation: Get a letter from the U.S. hospital confirming your appointment and outlining the treatment plan, including estimated costs.
  • Proof of Financial Ability: Show that you have sufficient funds to cover your medical treatment and living expenses while in the U.S. This might include bank statements, proof of insurance, or financial support from a sponsor.
  1. Complete the DS-160 Form:
  • Fill out the online DS-160 form, which is the standard application for a U.S. nonimmigrant visa.
  1. Pay the Visa Application Fee:
  • Pay the required fee for the B-2 visa application.
  1. Schedule a Visa Interview:
  • Schedule an interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your home country. Be prepared to discuss your medical situation, your treatment plans, and your intent to return to your home country after treatment.
  1. Attend the Visa Interview:
  • Bring all your documents to the interview. The consular officer will assess your case and determine if you qualify for a B-2 visa.
  1. Wait for Visa Processing:
  • After the interview, you’ll need to wait for the visa to be processed. Processing times can vary.

Hi Ayesha,


So sorry to hear about your health situation. if I got you correctly, you want to know what the next step is after making an appointment with the US hospital all the way from your country.


Ideally, the next step would be to prepare for travel to the US hospital, ensuring all necessary medical documents, visas, and accommodations are in order. Upon arrival, you will need to attend the scheduled appointment and consult with the healthcare team to discuss the treatment plan.


Hope this helps. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
