How Do You Prove Medical Care Is Inadequate or Inaccessible Abroad?

The foreign-country analysis should be tied to a documented diagnosis, current treatment plan, medication, specialist, therapy, monitoring, or other actual need.

A claim that health care is worse abroad is much stronger when supported by information about specific facilities, specialists, medications, insurance restrictions, waiting periods, travel distance, and treatment cost.

A treatment may technically exist in the country but still be practically unavailable because of cost, geography, waiting lists, eligibility restrictions, language, insurance, or the qualifying relative's medical condition.

Physician evidence can explain the consequences of interrupting established care or transferring treatment, while foreign-country evidence can document whether a comparable treatment arrangement is realistically possible.
