Re-entry to US on B2 visa(mother-in-law) with unpaid medical bills
Need urgent guidance and any experience similar to my situation.
During my mother-in-law's last trip to US(4yrs back), she was admitted to hospital and the bill was $60K bill after insurance coverage. I no where signed in hospital, so all bills and collection agency notices came on my mother-in-law's name (nothing on my name) to my home, and I ignored all of them. I never received any phone call from collection agency.
Now my mother-in-law is visiting US. My questions are:
1. Any chances of unpaid bills were reported to the Immigration and they would stop my mother-in-law at airport? (I provided mother-in-law's pass port copy to hospital during admission)
2. When they re-look at this, is there a possibility of re-initiating the old situation, and now Immigation/Hospital people would be behind me and will ask me to pay those unpaid bills?
(I have signed I-134 that I would take care of all their expenses in US)
3. Would I be able to battle such cases (am I bound legally for ALL their expenses beyond taking insurance for them)?
4. Has any one know people were in this situation (unpaid medical bills in their prev trip) and Immigration allowed or returned such people back in their next visit?
I really appreciate sharing of your experience in this situation.
