My I-526 got approved and I am in the process of obtaining medical exam records for the purpose of an immigrant visa. However, I have genetic hypertension. I am wondering if this can impact my ability to get a visa.

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyGenetic hypertension is not on its own ground of inadmissibility, but if you have a medical condition that results in you being a danger to yourself or others, then that can be an issue. Also, if this condition makes it such that you will be a burden and unable to support yourself, that could be a problem.
