Applying without Medical after failed PPD test

[Missing.him 0]

Hi all

After running round like crazy getting all the medical stuff together it looks like I will fail my TB test ( like almost everyone looking at this site )

DO I just have a physical and then they schedule a chest xray or do I have to do it myself?

Also as I will be Out of Status Sunday should I send in the pack and then complete the medical stuff and send it when I get an RFE or just wait ( any clues on time periods for a chest xray and results?) for all my health results and be OOS for a while?

many thanks

I sent out my AOS packet without medical. I received RFE shortly after.

>>DO I just have a physical and then they schedule a chest xray or do I have to do it myself?

It depends on where you go for the physical.

If the facility is a big place, they most likely to have the X-ray room in the same building.

I failed to notify the nurse I had TB vaccine when I was small so the TB test came back positive.

I was sent to the downstairs to the X-ray room on the same day.

>>any clues on time periods for a chest xray and results?

I went back to the CS about a week later to get all the test result, the blood test and x-ray test.

Good luck

When the skin test for my stepson was positive, the CS office immediately took him in for x-ray.... We were had our I-693 within an hour later.... Don't worry about "out of status", give yourself the time to get your application complete

On Friday afternoon I came back to show them my failed PPD test (vaccine as a kid as well), and they sent me to a separate diagnostics clinic to take my X-ray; I got my it in my hands by 5pm and the lab sent the results to the civil surgeon directly. I collected the results and the I-693 packet by the following Monday morning, so I was grateful for the quick turnaround -- I hope it's similarly quick for you, too!

Just had my medical and they passed my PPD so yay to that. Now just have to check everything and complete a cover letter and we are set.

I was in the office at the doctors for a whopping 4 minutes so that works out to $1200 an hour!!!!!!!!! I am in the wrong job I think
