OMG she said so many people doing the tests, Guess we just stay put here and hope for the best
regardless we will get through this. Just some time and effort on our part
Congrats to all that are moving forward with your interviews. Hope you are with your loves soon
Have a great weekend everyone

Oh dear god, just waiting for my loving bride to be to have her sputum tests next week
hoping for the best but regardless of results we have a plan. If she tests negative we wait for the 2 month culture and hopefully we move forward in September. If positive, well we deal with it and I book a flight in October to see my love again as she goes through the treatment
Dear god, so much waiting but most important is that my love is safe, happy, and healthy
I know in my heart I will wait for this girl and regardless of outcome I see her soon
whats not to like
 
Good luck to all that have medical and interviews soon

Well first day of the Sputum tests is today, Juvy is at St Luke's now. Arrived 5:00 am and number 50 in line.
Hope these next 3 days result in a negative test result. 2 month wait for us to find out. Praying for the best I miss her so much
 
congrats to those getting visa approvals, our time will come soon enough.  Everything happens for a reason

Thanks for the kind words. Me and Juvy are prepared for the worst. God having to go to St Luke's everyday from Taguig will be difficult for her if she tests positive. She is prepared if that happens and hope they let her go to the St Luke's in Taguig City....doubt it though. So if all goes well I will be in the Phils in September to bring my bride home and if she has treatment then a trip in October to see each is in the plans
 
Good luck to you in your Journey and our prayers are with everyone trying to be with the one they love

Not sure about other countries but there is a high rate of TB in the Philippines, part of the medical is chest X-rays. If they see anything on the X-ray they do additional screening for TB. They saw something on my loves X-ray so 3 days straight she will cough up some stuff from her lungs and they will test it for TB. If positive 6 months of medication to clear it. If negative then we wait for a 2 month culture to ensure she does not carry the disease. In the end it is just more time and effort and actually we make sure my love is safe and healthy...She is well worth the wait....my last love

My Juvy had her tests rescheduled by St Luke's...now the 28th, 29th and 30th
We are prepared for the worst and hoping for the best
everything happens for a reason. OMG so close to finishing this process and now a few more months wait
Good luck to all that can move forward and be with your love
No matter what we can get through this together...just a little time and effort

It is done if there is any abnormality in the chest X-ray, most times not an issue but in the Phils there is a high rate of TB
The issue in the chest X-ray can be caused by many external causes and my girl lives in Metro Manila which is highly polluted (no offense meant to the Phil members) They will do some additional tests to ensure she does not carry the disease and once cleared we can move forward. if she has has the disease a regiment of medication for 6 months is prescribed to clear it. Not what we hoped for but our love is strong enough to survive. Waited my whole life for this girl, a few more months will not kill me

And yeah, like everyone says...once you get NOA2 everything happens pretty fast
 
 

To give some hope to any other January filers still waiting for NOA2...we finally received our NOA2 today after 153 days of waiting! We honestly thought it would never come at this point. We are estatic! 
 
Good luck to all those still waiting. It is so hard to see others moving along this process while you feel left behind but do not lose hope, your time will come and it will feel so amazing
