Take the radiologist's word.

What the x-rays are used for is to look for a disease that is hazardous to others like TB.

I doubt it will even come up, immigrations is only concerned with conditions that pose a threat to other citizens in the USA, like TB, or AIDS.

if the radiologist said there is no problem, then you should be fine. if you still want a peace of mind, go visit your family doctor and talk to him/her and see what they have to say.

i dont think u will b questioned at the interview about it if its not a contegious desease. God willing, you should be fine!

I reckon that you'll be just okay...try to find out what you can do about your condition, so you can get/feel better. don't worry about the visa, you'll get it.

I agree. This is not an immigration issue as it is not a communicable disease, so you cannot give it to someone else (except maybe your kids through genetics with up to 19% chance).

Just see your doctor to discuss when you may need treatment and to watch for eye problems.

Good luck!

What Is Sarcoidosis?

Sarcoidosis (sar"koi-do'sis) involves inflammation that produces tiny lumps of cells in various organs in your body. The lumps are called granulomas (gran"u-lo'mahs) because they look like grains of sugar or sand. They are very small and can be seen only with a microscope.

These tiny granulomas can grow and clump together, making many large and small groups of lumps. If many granulomas form in an organ, they can affect how the organ works. This can cause symptoms of sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis can occur in almost any part of your body, although it usually affects some organs more than others. It usually starts in one of two places:

Lungs

Lymph nodes, especially the lymph nodes in your chest cavity.

Sarcoidosis also often affects your:

Skin

Eyes

Liver.

Less often, sarcoidosis affects your:

Spleen

Brain

Nerves

Heart

Tear glands

Salivary glands

Bones and joints.

Rarely, sarcoidosis affects other organs, including your:

Thyroid gland

Breasts

Kidneys

Reproductive organs.

Sarcoidosis almost always occurs in more than one organ at a time.

Sarcoidosis has an active and a nonactive phase:

In the active phase, the granulomas form and grow. In this phase, symptoms can develop, and scar tissue can form in the organs where the granulomas occur.

In the nonactive phase, the inflammation goes down, and the granulomas stay the same size or shrink. But the scars may remain and cause symptoms.

The course of the disease varies greatly among people.

In many people, sarcoidosis is mild. The inflammation that causes the granulomas may get better on its own. The granulomas may stop growing or shrink. Symptoms may go away within a few years.

In some people, the inflammation remains but doesn't get worse. You may also have symptoms or flare-ups and need treatment every now and then.

In other people, sarcoidosis slowly gets worse over the years and can cause permanent organ damage. Although treatment can help, sarcoidosis may leave scar tissue in the lungs, skin, eyes, or other organs. The scar tissue can affect how the organs work. Treatment usually does not affect scar tissue.

Changes in sarcoidosis usually occur slowly (e.g., over months). Sarcoidosis does not usually cause sudden illness. However, some symptoms may occur suddenly. They include:

Disturbed heart rhythms

Arthritis in the ankles

Eye symptoms.

In some serious cases in which vital organs are affected, sarcoidosis can result in death.

Sarcoidosis is not a form of cancer.

There is no known way to prevent sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis was once thought to be an uncommon condition. It's now known to affect tens of thousands of people throughout the United States. Because many people who have sarcoidosis have no symptoms, it's hard to know how many people have the condition.

Sarcoidosis was identified in the late 1860s. Since then, scientists have developed better tests to diagnose it and made advances in treating it.
