I sponspored my mother (age 68) to visit USA and she got a 10 year visitors visa. She had been to USA couple of times. My sister arrived to USA later as her husband got an IT job. Later my sister applied for H1 and she got a job as well. She has 2 daughters with no one to take care of house cleaning & baby sitting, but the income is very attractive. The situation/expenses of house cleaning and baby sitting is now becoming beyond their control and therefore they want my mother to come and stay with them every 6 months.
My concern is since, I have signed the affidavit of support, I am fully responsible for my mother's medical treatment in USA? My mother has high bp and no-one can afford expensive hospital bills in the USA without an insurance. My's sister's husband clearly refuses to take her medical responsibility and still want's my sister to work and my mother to be available.
I tried searching for good medical insurance but every insurance company has a clause that voids payments if the patient has a pre-existing condition (High BP in this case).
What options do I have?
1. Can I cancel my mother's visitor's visa and ask my sister to re-apply freshly
2. Can I suggest my mother to ask my sister to sign a mutual agreement that she will be fully responsible for the medical expense incurred on my mother in case of any, as she is earning? Is this legal/workable solution?
My mother & myself are willing to help my sister but I am not ready to take this risk, specially having my own family and responsibility of 2 kids. How should I handle this situation such that I do not jeopardize my entire savings or fall in the trap of commonly known monthly hospital payment plans and still keep everyone happy?
Please advise
