TB History

[Ysabelle002 0]

hi VJ!

i had my medical last 2 weeks ago and the scar was still visible so i underwent Sputum Test. I told them that i had a TB History and that was caused my scar but i already had treatment last 2011.

my question is do i have to say yes to the question in one of the DS Forms " Have you ever been afflicted with a communicable disease of public health significance.......?"

i just dont want to lie but am little afraid also if this will be a hindrance of my K1 Visa...

i need your comments. Thank you!

yes you need to answer yes. The consulate will see the notes from your medical and they will know you had the sputum test. Good luck!!

hi miss after reading your post i immediately checked again the ds 230 form that i supposed you are talking about. then i saw the part regarding to the communicable disease thing that you quoted. i was worried too coz i know i checked all the NO in those questions since it doesnt apply to me. but i also had history of tb (sputum from private hospital negative but still treated for precautionary measures) and i read it. if the question is the only part that you quoted i mean sure say yes but thats not the only question they asked. its a long one saying if its not treated or you dont have supporting papers to prove the treatment. im not sure with the exact question verbatim but thats my understanding. so in my opinion you can answer no. we got case complete so i think i did the right thing.

we really have to be honest all the time. specially when filling out forms but we also need to read carefully and understand each questions thoroughly. goodluck on your journey and God bless!

Hi!

The question is and i will quote " Have you ever been afflicted with a communicable disease of public health significance or a dangerous physical or mental disorder?

There is no such term as " Have you been treated"....

I guess I need to answer yes since i had a TB History and it did leave a scar and i also informed St. Luke's Medical Clinic that i had a TB history.

...Have you ever been afflicted with a communicable disease of public health significance...

For those who have been diagnosed with TB, the answer to the above question is "Yes."

If you answer "yes," it won't affect your visa.

However, lying could have disastrous consequences.
