Hi im already in Philippines to get my daughter she already have sched interview this march for k2 visa. When i got home i found out that my daughter has a primary complex and started medication first wk of February she is jz 5 yr old. Nobody told me about her condition when i was in US coz her guardian said that they dont want me to worry about it, last wk i got home and surprised all of them bcoz no one knows that im coming home. That is the only time i found out that my daughter has a primary complex. my problem is she have medical at St Lukes and tomorrow will going to comeback to read her tst. What is the percentage that she will pass the medical at St Lukes?? Im really worried about it coz the one year time to get her in Phil will end on Last wk of May.. I need advice pls...

Well primary complex could lead to TB (as it is an infection caused by Tuberculosis bacteria), does not have to lead to TB. Even if she does not pass the medical, she can get a visa and she will have to follow up with a doctor and take medication in the US.

So even if she fail to pass the medical she can still go with me to fly in US???

That was the case with people who had a positive TB test - they were issued a visa and told to follow up with a doctor in the US and take medications.

There's some topics on the forum about TB. Did you also post this in the regional, Phillipines forum? They should be able to give you the most current info from that embassy.

i would like to share the experience of my 3 year old daughter too when she has a primary complex,,, we have our medical last sept.26,2009 ---- i pass the medical but my daughter did not becuase st. lukes doctors said that she has primary complex and told me i will come back at st.lukes after 2 months,,and said they will reschedule the interview of my daughter too. They want me to come back after two months to see if there is improvement in her lungs,,, what i did is after our medical at st. lukes i went to a pediatrician, a very very good pediatrician, and she treated my daughter, when we come back to st. lukes they x-ray my daughter and thank god it is already clear,,, in your case if st. lukes doctors find out that your daughter is positive in TB in her x-ray, they will require your daughter to be treated in st. lukes for 6 months and she will undergo sputum too. but don't lose hope just be positive...
