Help RE: Tuberculin test

World International

Published

I got a letter from CIS stating that my medical examination do not include tuberculin test.

Myself and my husband both are PPD positive(my husband did when we was first employed here at US and I had done back home) so we did not do Montoux test we had done chest X ray at the time of our medical examination and it says normal. Now what should we do???? do the PPD test again??? ( I know it will come positive again) or do chest X-ray again. Does anybody here know how doctor should make a comment on that . Has anyone gone through the similar situation. We have only 19 days left to file for that evidence.

Any info on that will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

That may be where the problem is. Suggest that you follow up with the physician and find out what he wrote on the documents submitted. Suspect that is where the problem is, that he just put that the PPD was not given, but did not provide the needed information that they needed there.

Follow up with him first.

When we went for our medicals the doctor gave us copies that were enclosed in the sealed envelope. This was very helpful because then you know EXACTLY what you could possibly be dealing with and hopefully get it clarified before the documents are submitted. In my case the doctor signed the wrong year. For some reason he used the year 2006 instead of 2007 which would have been enough to reject my application due to this error. It is so important to be really thorough with all of this.
