Hello,my name is Judith. Thank you for this opportunity to answer your questions.

• I would like to know if there is any law that prohibits people with this medical condition from travelling to US.
NO, there is no law that prohibits him from traveling with this condition. As long as he would not have to have treatment in the US and would not be a threat to the public health and would not have to use US medical services unless he paid for them, he is not inadmissible.


• Because of this his hands got affected and so he wouldn't be able to give 'Finger Prints'. Would this an issue for getting A visa or during his travel to US?
  
A visitor is not required to provide fingerprints for background/security chlearance. They do this by "name check" using name, date and place of birth.

• And also would he need to get any kind of medical certifcate explaining his condition. If so, can you let me know the procedure to do so. Appreciate your valuable advice.
  
• No he is not required to carry with him any type of medical clearance or certificate, but it is probably not a bad idea for him to have such with him in case he is asked at the visa interview or port of entry the consul and customs would understand that he is not a danger to public health and that he requires no medical treatment in the US so he does not have any potential for using public funds for treatment.

>> During the Visa Interview at US embassy in our home country (India), everyone is asked to give finger prints just before the face-to-face interview with the Visa Officer. Do you mean to say that name check would be 'the alternative' for Finger prints in this scenario?

No, it would not be an alternative. If prints are required he will have to provide them even if illegible.
Then the US diplomatic security office will make a determinaiton on how to proceed.

• No he is not required to carry with him any type of medical clearance or certificate, but it is probably not a bad idea for him to have such with him in case he is asked at the visa interview or port of entry the consul and customs would understand that he is not a danger to public health and that he requires no medical treatment in the US so he does not have any potential for using public funds for treatment.

>> Do you recommend any particular doctor/hospital from whom this medical clearance should be obtained? Would there be anything like US embassy approved medical practitioners/hospitals we need to approach. If so, can you direct us to such practitioners/hospitals in Hyderabad, India.

 

You can look on the US Consulate for Hydetabad to see if they recommend any doctors there.

 

I cannot provide such information. It is against JA rules.
