This is an amazingly helpful thread. Thank you so much. We are waiting for the NVC to get our petition right now and I've been a little anxious about all the mixed information I read everywhere, so to get something so specific and recent is a gem. Thanks so much for sharing.

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEDICAL!!!!!!

But don't panic!!

We learned, while there unfortunately, that almost 50% of Russians get sent for sputum (TB) test 6 weeks!!!!!!!!

Mine did as well. so if she doesn't live close to Moscow, prepare. the test is 3 consecutive days and they have to be there. It is a pain... and very scary for them. but mine was approved and are just waiting results of test before they mail VISA.

She had exray done in home town before and showed nothing. so don't get tricky and try to beat the game. you have to do what ever that doc tells you. her mother is nurse and has 4 docs look since interview, they all said she was perfectly healthy.. Just know. it is a 50 50 chance... to have to test.

I recommend to schedule medical for a Monday. then you possibly could go to Sputum test wed thr fri.....

prepare flights accordingly! Russian airlines are reasonable to rebook. cost us 45$ US..

You can still keep interview even if you have to do sputum.. It really is just a little of a pain and a longer wait.

I'm not buying the 50% figure. Maybe it is a new scam, but in the past it was very, very rare to hear of a request for a sputum test.

Must be some extra money in it for someone.
