Treated extrapulmonary tuberculosis - parent GC - medical issue?

[adar24 33]

Hi - 

 

I am hoping to find some guidance, sharing of experience. Here is our issue. Our dad has had recent treatment (completed last month) in India for extrapulmonary TB - non-infectious and non-pulmonary. We want to file for his GC. He will be doing consular processing in India, so he will go to panel physician in Mumbai when the time comes for his medical examination. I am wondering if anyone has experience as to what the panel physician (PP) will look for? He will of course tell the PP that he was diagnosed (mostly clinically, he was smear and culture negative all throughout, tissue biopsy culture also negative) with extrapulmonary TB and he will show results and medications taken. But does anyone know what questions are asked by the PP so we are prepared for those and also, if anyone's parents/spouses have gone through extrapulmonary TB evaluation in India or non-US country, any info. on steps and process will be highly appreciated. We are quite worried about what will happen. Will he be automatically given a B1-Extrapulmonary Class and have to go through US evaluation or will he be cleared if his X-Ray is clear (which a recent one has been totally clear and he never had pulmonary TB anyway).

Hi Adar,

 

Hope and pray that everything went well in your father's case.

Kindly let me know whether he cleared based on his chest x-ray or did they annotate B1 extrapulmonary class on his visa?

I am in the same boat and worried..

Kind regards,

D Joseph
