Hi there! I just want to ask you guys if anyone here had tubercolosis exam required by the Health and Human Services upon enty into the US. I got a letter requiring me to take the exam. I didn’t have TB but I had to undergo sputum in SLEC for my K1 visa. My sputum was negative for TB and I was cleared by SLEC. Just wondering why they required me to take the TB exam. Kindly share your experience.Any advice is highly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Is this test for those who had sputum before? My friend who came here for K1 visa didn’t receive any letter. I knew someone who had sputum too but wasn’t required to take another test here in the US.
