He is not. He is anti-immigrant racist.
As far as I know, only sexually transmitted diseases that are highy
contagious are a problem.
The first thing you do is get medical clearance. If he passes it, then
no need to worry about it. After all, his sponsor is responsible for
his welfare. But wait,
Come to think of it, if he is a senior citizen, can he get medicare on
GC status while technically the sponsor is responsible for his medical
expense?
Anyone know? How about you Mr. F? Boiler, Oliver? C...?

AFAIK one needs 40 quarters/10 years of Medicare contributions to qualify for Medicare benefits.
Paying for dialysis and all the associated care out of pocket - scary. I hope they're rich...

I assume independently wealthy, or the Sponsor is.

I thought part of the immigration process is having to prove sufficient income/funds so as not to become a public charge - doesn't that include Medicaid?

Just as well I do not smoke.
As far as I am aware it is is just the 125% figure, your actual needs are irrelevant, but just wondering if it is different if you need a medical waiver. Not that a waiver is needed in this case.

Why? Unless he has 40 quarters of contributions, that seems unlikely....
