Another AOS medical examination question

[Ronny_Cari 8]

Hello everyone! I just had my TST last last week and because I had TB vaccine (BCG) the result came out positive. So because it was positive I had to do the x ray exam last monday and will go back to the doctor tomorrow for the result. So the question is, for example the x ray exam result finds out that I have a latent TB, will the doctor still sign the I-693 form and the sealed envelope and give it to me? Or I have to finish the treatment if ever she will recommend one? Though I am pretty sure that the x ray result will be negative, I cant just help not to think that what if it is positive and that it just a latent TB. Thank you and will really appreciate answers. :-)

If they find TB, latent or otherwise, they likely will not sign your I-693 until you have successfully completed a course of treatment.

Hello I just found this in the USCIS website:

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).

Q. What is my skin test is positive and my chest x-ray is normal?

A. If you are diagnosed with Class B, Latent TB infection, the civil surgeon may recommend you go to the health department for further assessment and preventative treatment. However, it is only recommended (not required) that you get assessed by the local health department. The civil surgeon can immediately sign Form I-693 and give it to you in a sealed envelope provided that all other examinations are up-to-date, and you can be medically cleared for immigration purposes prior to the referral to the health department TB control program.

I sit corrected.
