Mr. Don

Thanks Randy!

Thanks Allon. This is very helpful information. I really appreciate it

Thanks Randy. that's a good point. Knowing the clinics around here, they would require a percentage of the bill paid up front.

Thanks so much. The cost is definitely a concern along with how hesitant doctors are to see patients w/o health insurance. I'm going to try some of the cancer centers tomorrow or Monday if they aren't open tomorrow, and go from there Appreciate you all!

Allon. thanks for your response. Her father just received a tourist visa from the U.S. and can come here any time. We're trying to figure out the "how" of him receiving diagnosis and treatment when he comes her, if that's what my wife and her father decide, and how to pay for it w/o insurance thanks again

Thanks for your quick response and help. I really appreciate it and this is what I love about this group. One thing I failed to mention is that her father and mother both were recently approved for a tourist visa to visit the U.S. If we bring him here for second opinion and possible treatment, I'm expecting it to be costly from a financial perspective. I'm going to call tomorrow and find out what we're looking at and how long this may take. I'm not sure time is on our side Thank you again!

My wife found out tonight that her dad, who lives in China, has a tumor on one of his lungs. He's been a heavy smoker for a long time. She is understandably very upset and concerned and is thinking about trying to bring him to the U.S., which is where we live, to be treated. Does anyone have experience with something like this? I know since he has no insurance in the U.S. it's going to be pretty expensive. Any input would be appreciated Thank you!

Thanks Dan!

Hi all. I hope everyone is doing well. My wife and I are wanting her elderly parents to come to the U.S. to visit us from China. Could someone point us to the steps required for us and for them? I know there is an invite letter we have to put together along with sponsorship? Any help you could give would be much appreciated as we really aren't sure where to start. Thanks all!! :-)

Thanks for the updates guys. Glad to hear that a member of the group recently arrived back in the US from China. My wife is visiting China in a few months too. Can't help but think about it, especially after our long journey to get here.

I agree Greg. On the surface it "appears" that perm. residents from China will be allowed back in the US after traveling but this thing seems ongoing and changing

Do we know if this could impact green card holders coming back to the US from China?

Thanks for the responses guys. This one is definitely a tricky topic. I'll keep digging. Best of luck to you both :-)

Hi all. Hope everyone is doing well. My wife and I are beginning our research on options for bringing her parents to the US. They are both over 65 and we are trying to learn what assistance, if any, they would be able to receive once they are here such as assisted living, health insurance options....etc. as they would like to have some independence of their own. Can someone who has experienced a similar situation share what you did or point us to existing posts on this topic. Any assistance or input would be greatly appreciated Thanks all! :-)

Just wanted to let everyone know that we received our notice that my wife's 10 GC has been ordered. CSC received our packet Nov 14th so we are at around 6 months and a week for processing time. I believe it takes around a week to 10 days to receive the card once this notice is received. thanks all Don
