Hi Leah,

It will only delay his coming to the US. Once he is free of TB, the US Embassy will issue his visa.

Don't worry. Start the treatment right away and who knows by the time you and your family will have your medicals, your son will come out clean.

Don't forget to bring the old x-rays of your son when you have your medicals.
