I understand that the medical screening process is an essential step in the EB-5 visa. My mother and I have great health, but my father has been diagnosed with Typ 2 diabetes and he underwent heart surgery two years ago. They will be my dependants in my EB-5 applications. Is his previous medical condition going to affect the EB-5 application in any way?
