It's just probably a scar that showed up on your x-ray. PTB sometimes leaves a scar. Anyway, if St.Lukes see something suspicious on your x-ray, you will need to do sputum culture. I never had PTB before, but I still went through sputum culture.

Check your NOA2. It has a validity date. You can call the embassy for extension. Pay the visa fee when she gets back to Philippines.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any idea about the documents needed to get a Japan police clearance. I lived in Taiwan and requested for Taiwan police clearance.

Yep. In that way she won't get any problem. Better to have complete documents before going to interview.

She can go to her interview without the police clearance. However, she will be put under administrative processing because of it. My advice is just wait for the police clearance and then go her interview.

They won't ask for the appointment letter on the day of your interview. No need to worry about it.

Schedule your interview. Print the appointment confirmation and bring it with you when you go to SLEC. That's what I did. They're still going to ask about the letter though. Just tell them you haven't receive it yet.

Try calling them to confirm your appointment.

No need for signature. They only took my fiance's 2013 ITR.

VISA ISSUED just this moment.

Please check yours too.

Wow. Congrats!!

WWow Congrats!

How I wish I'll get same reply as Immunization after my Medical Xray.

Read that website po. It's about the difference between Inactive TB or latent TB and Active TB. It will help you to clear your mind from worries.

Hello. Thank you

I am not familiar with inactive Ptb.

I am hoping and praying as well that yours will be okay too.

Keep the faith and God will do the rest.

Mine says "READY" open case. I had my interview on December 16th. Hope to see the magic word "ISSUED" next week! ADVANCE MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!

December 12, 2014 but slec told upon the end of sputum test to come back on december 19

I sent them an email on the exact due date. They replied on the same day. Wait until tomorrow.

Hello did you use the email address slec@slec.ph to inquire about your sputum result? I emailed them, but still no answer. Its been two days already. Thanks

What's the due date of your sputum culture?

SLEC x-ray showed a small scar in one lung. SLEC told her to return in one week to do 3 days of sputum samples. Each sample is taken 24 hours apart. Three weeks later she received a phone call from SLEC and they told her to report back to SLEC soon. She did and then did the 130 doses of DOT in 6 months.

I'm sorry to hear that. Is she done with her treatment already?

What did they See in your lungs?

Would mind if i ask what happened with your Xray what's the findings? Just wondering as u undergone sputum culture.

The doctor said they saw few lines, not actually a spot on my lungs. They also showed me the xray. I didn't really understand what she was saying that time. Hehe

No, I didn't take medications because I never had TB before. Most people who needed to undergo sputum culture didn't have any symptoms. It really depends on the chest xray.

I think you'll be fine. I went to slec yesterday for my immunization and I was surprised that there were only few people who went there for medical. I suggest you go there on friday.

If it was inactive/latent TB, then you have nothing no worry about. Are you sure it was not active? Because if it was, it might left a scar on your lungs and it will show on your chest xray.

Thank you for the reply

I have another question. I know that this is out of topic and I'm sorry

Do NSO Birth Certificates have validity period? Got my NSO BC 2011 and it's color green. I think the new ones are color orange or yellow, not sure. Can I still use the old one?
