My husband went for the second day of his medical at SLEC yesterday i believe just to get the result, then they said that they have to do a repeat Chest Xray an Apico view coz they need to confirm something, it was like a nightmare for me, I've been telling him to get an Xray months ago, he was so confident that he is ok, he doesn't smoke, hardly drinks alcohol, exercises and regularly takes his vitamins, been healthy all his life and his only 31.. the only thing he was diagnosed for was his mild dextroscoliosis, now he has to come back monday for the result since friday is a holiday, that means 3 days of torture in waiting. well, i will just hope for the best, sharing your similar experiences would be helpful and prayers ofcourse...

IF he says that he is healthy and living a healthy lifestyle, then it should be ok. However, it is a torture, I know, waiting for 3 days with uncertainty.

I was so upset, i've been telling him to get an initial one but he is didnt listen to me! But thanks sis, i will just hope for the best, but i want to know if suspicious TB or old infection will be a ground for denial?

I don't think so.. Its not like it was his choice to get sick..

Illegal DRUGS is a choice, that is why permanent ban is the penalty..

If you wanted an American Dream from the start you shouldn't have done Drugs the 1st place..

But anyways.. Let me get back to the topic..

I think they will approve him and cure him here..

I myself failed my PPD... So as soon as I got to the US, the immigration officer instructed me to go to Public Health and get cured. NO I don't have TB.. I was prone to it.. Alot of asians are.

same here sis, I went through the same thing with my husband. I did tell him to get his initial thorough physical check up, however he waited for the SLEC instead. If hubby says that he feels OK, then you just have to trust and believe on that!


Good luck and just enjoy your weekend for now.

Did you have to go to a repeat chest xray too? coz i know they dont do routine PPD on medical exam, i am also PPD positive and been declining to undergo INH treatment coz i know ts common if u came from PI and my xray is clear and i have to do it yearly, my hubby is more healthy than me,not even a single sign of TB, doesn't smoke at all..

Nope.. Just one X-Ray and one decision for me to go to Public Health as soon as I arrive in the US.

don't worry! im sure he will be fine!

I had they same experienced with your husband before. Because they said they found abnormality in my firts x-ray so they asked me to take another 2 x-rays (apico and left side)
i'm so scared and worried but turned out everything is OK. I don't smoke and drink either so I'm pretty confident during my medical. When I came here and I applied for my AOS, I did a tb skin test to make it sure that everything is fine with my health. Luckily I'm negative.

Let's hope everything is Ok.

SLEC requested me to do another x-ray and I did it twice...I thought there was something wrong because they want me to take another x-ray and when I went back to the x-ray room I really asked them why I need to take it again and the lady said don't worry too much we will take another just to make it clear....It was ok!

Dont worry about it everything is ok!

Try not to speculate too much....wait for the test results

got news from my hubby today, everything went out fine! .. it was just me and my paranoia that caused all our worries in the past 3 days, glad its over! i think it was the Xray tech's fault for the unclear films! i should have trusted him when he told me that everything is ok.. oh well, just glad its over.. interview next week! hope everthing will go smoothly...

Good luck at the interview.
