Medical History of TB

[Chris&Lainey 2]

Hi VJ members!!!

My fiancee and our son (K-1/K-2) medical will be on next week the 18th and have concerns about my fiancee history of TB.

She had been treated of TB year 2007 and ever since that time she never had any signs or ever came back. we're worried how would this play out on her medical examination.

Anyone who have been through with this kind of situation please I welcome your advise and any ideas. :help:

Thanks in Advance.

If the applicant has ever been diagnosed with tuberculosis, the applicant must present a written certification, signed by the attending doctor, proving that the applicant was adequately treated. The certificate must include dates and types of medications taken. Applicants who ever had an abnormal chest X-ray should borrow the last X-ray films taken and bring them to the panel physician. The actual films, not the typed reports, may be required to compare with the X-rays that will be taken at the medical examination. >>>>> read here http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3745.html#_What_if_the_9

i think as long as she was treated and ok now there won't be a problem, there will be an Xray anyway and if it's clear she's going to be fine, if they see a spot on the lungs then she will need a sputum test w/c by the way takes about 2 months for the result. . goodluck. . .

Hi, I had my medical last May 10th and 11th, unfortunately the result was not ok, meaning I need to undergo Sputum Test.

But it doesnt mean that I have the TB, they saw that my lungs is infiltrate. So, just to be sure they required me to go back to St. Lukes's for

3 consecutive days for the collection for phlegm. And if the result is negative, the next step is the culture and I need to wait for 2 months before

I will know the result. Then if its negative i can now move to the next step, which is interview, if it is positive and hopefully not, i will undergo 6 months medication.

So, just pray for your fiancee and son for the good result of their medical. Good and hope it helps.

A bit off topic: In your prior posts you stated that the child was your son. In that case he will not be eligible for a K2, you must get a US passport for the child.

hi, I'd like to ask if did you bring your previous x-ray film during medical? what the doctor said why you need to wait for 2 months just for the result of sputum test? any laboratories can provide a result in 1-day.
