Hi,

You need to get her treatment.

Q. What happens, if the civil surgeon determines that I have an abnormal chest x-ray suggestive of TB?

A. If the chest x-ray suggests TB disease, the civil surgeon will tell you in detail what steps you have to take. According to CDC's directive, the civil surgeon is required to refer you to the local health department's TB control program for further evaluation. If it is determined that you have active TB (Class A TB) the civil surgeon cannot complete your Form I-693 until you received and completed treatment for TB (usually about 6 months). That is, he cannot sign Form I-693 and cannot give you the completed Form I-693 in a sealed envelope until you no longer have Class A TB and until any follow up assessment has been completed.

Q. I have an abnormal chest x-ray, and the referral to the local health department determines that I don't have Class A TB but a Class B TB condition. Am I cleared for immigration purposes and can the civil surgeon immediately sign Form I-693 and give it to me in a sealed envelope?
A. Yes, you can be cleared by the civil surgeon (for TB purposes), and the civil surgeon can sign the I-693 form (provided there are not any other medical conditions that would prevent the signing of the Form I-693).

I believe the treatment is 6 months then she goes back for testing at that point. So just follow the instructions of the Doctor. Sorry to hear but pray mum will be fine with treatment.

Please call the clinic to make sure they are asking for the 50K naira for treatment. As far as I am aware, the clinics that do the medicals do not provide treatment. When my husband had an abnormal chest xray he had to pay 50K Naira for the Sputum Test, which took about 10 weeks to get the results, and we were told that if the test came back positive he would have to seek treatment elsewhere.

They confirm it first with a sputum test before they begin treatment.

I don't know what the test and treatment cost is.
