Hi all,

I found out recently that one of our kids will have to be in Juarez four days prior to the interview for the TB test, which is really unfortunate since the interview will likely fall about a month before his 15th birthday. Shenanigans! I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this wait period, and if it would be possible for him and his mom to fly in one day for his medical and fly back home that evening, and then just return with his brothers when they are all ready for their medical and interviews? It seems like it's complicating matters, but when you take into consideration the costs of missing an additional four days of work, four additional nights in a hotel, four additional days of eating out...two extra round trip tickets on Viva Aerobus begin to sound like a real bargain! Does anyone know if once the medical exam has been administered the beneficiary is expected to remain in Juarez or is he free to roam about?

Thanks!
