Hello, Thank you very much, I have gone through the link provided. I am all clear except, have following doubt based on situation my family member has. My father had partial seizures in November 2012. He is taking anti epileptic medications currently. He is doing good and planning to visit my place. By any chance (I hope that wouldn't be the case, praying to god), if he will have stroke during his visit to USA, will that be fall into "An acute onset Pre existing Condition"? Thank you,


For any given situation, it is not possible to tell with certainty in advance whether it will be ‘acute onset of pre-existing condition’ or not as each case is unique and the determination can only be made after it happens.


Hello, I got that from the link and that is the only reason i described situation. Based on that, can i have some information?


Our answer still remains the same. For any given situation, it is not possible to tell with certainty in advance whether it will be ‘acute onset of pre-existing condition’ or not as each case is unique and the determination can only be made after it happens.
