Looking for some advice here. My Fiance's medical came back with Xrays saying she has TB. St. Lukes in Manila told her she had 2 options. Move to Manila, and do 132 treatments for 6 months, or she can do it at her local hospital, but after the 6 month treatment, would have to do an additional 12 months. We chose Manila.
The question I have is this, is there a way to get a second opinion? The skin/blood test didn't come back positive, and her sputum tests usually take a month or two to culture. Are they making us wait for no reason? Can we do the initial vaccination in Manila, and the rest in US?
Our application is now at the Manila Embassy, and I think it is valid for a year.
Any advice on what to do would be appreciated. Right now, we are just pushing forward and trying to keep our spirits high.

First time posting, but long time reader of this site. Thank you everyone for all your updates. I think I share others frustration with how difficult it is to get status of this process. I wanted to share my experience getting our MNL case number.
We received our NOA2 via email notification on August 8th, and in the mail a few days later. I read several posts about which number to call and wasted tons of time on hold. The best way I found to get the MNL# was to use the website, ASKNVC.
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.htmlOn 08/21 I called 603-334-0888 at 7pm west coast time, and waited 30 seconds to speak to Angus. Who was polite, asked if I was calling about K-1 via, and told me they hadn't received it yet. He suggested using the AskNVC since they are working to respond to that FIRST.
Sure enough this morning I received a email with my MNL Case # and my fiance's beneficiary ID#.
I just wanted to share my experience and dates, and hopefully help other avoid some of the stress of calling and calling and calling.

@Greenbaum thank you as always for the excellent response. My fiance started her TB treatment this week. We are glad we caught this now and are getting her all better. Luckily rest of family tested negative.
