Hi All,

Petition was filed for both parents, Mom and Step Dad (IR5 Category). My mom passed her medical exam but my Step Dad for furher evaluation and will undergo this sputum exam.I know this will cause some delay, Does anybody here knows how long to wait for the result of this sputum exam?some says 3 days, others says 2 months. My stepdad's schedule for sputum test is on Apr 26, 27, and 28. One more question : Can my mom go ahead with the interview without my step Dad and if she passed her interview, can she go to the US without my step Dad yet coz my sister is giving birth and my mom needs to be there ASAP. Can my Step Dad follow to the US after he's done with his medical and interview? Or is it required that they must be together at the interview and also to be together during Port of Entry? Thank You So Much... Pls. I need some inputs.

I believe that they don't have to be together because they will have different visa packets to turn in at port of entry so it should not be a problem if you mom comes first. Grats with your mom. My mother will have her medical on Monday and I am also hoping that everything will go smoothly. What documents did your parents submitted at St Lukes? Thanks.

I think the results for the sputum exam usually is available in 2-3 days maximum. You have to request a fast process to the hospital who has done the sputum examination.
