My brother (principal applicant) and his family (wife and 2 sons) had their medical exam at St. Lukes last Monday (Nov. 10). After the chest X-rays, his wife was instructed to undergo the sputum test/culture for three consecutive days next week. My brother and nephews are all clear and received their CD's after the tests.
Questions:
Should they cancel their interview (scheduled for Nov. 24) or proceed without his wife? Is it possible for the wife to have a separate interview without the principal applicant after the sputum test results are released?
St. Lukes indicated they will not cancel or reschedule the interview for them. Did they change their procedures? How many days before the interview can they cancel? Can they reschedule it without getting the results of the sputum culture? What's the best way way to cancel and reschedule the interview (phone, website, etc?)
My sister-in-law was told the results of the sputum culture will be released on Jan. 1 (approx 6 weeks after the samples are taken). Is this possible knowing it normally takes 8 weeks for the test to be completed?
If their interview is pushed back to early next year, do they have to get their sponsor's 2014 ITR and W2 instead of the 2013 documents?
Thanks for your help!
