Hello, 

I am new here and really need help. My fiance went for his medical exam and was asked to do the HIV test because the doctor found a ganglion in his neck and after the test it came back positive. She put it in his medical report and of course at his interview the send him back to bring a proof of medical treatment plan(the cost of the treatmen) proof of ability to pay in the us for the medical treatment associated with medical diagnosis. We found a treatment center in my country that can provided us with medication and even ship it to us here in the usa but the embassy denied that the treatment has to be in the US since he is coming here and now i am so confuse. Everywhere i call they stated that he has to be here before we can apply for any type of insurance. Can someone please help me, any idea? this is all they're waiting to approve his visa. Please help me. And the wired thing is we only have 1 medical exam center for k1 in my country , my fiance went to 2 different center for retest and both result came back negative but the embassy only accepted the one for the k1 center which is positive so confusing. At this time it doesn't matter because we already know that something else is going on so conclusion we just need to send the embassy this requirement for his visa. Once he get here we'll retest again to be sure. Please help me, any suggestion on how to provided this information to them?

Thank you

Please PM me if you need any details. 

Basically:

I think you mean a 'lump' or swelling on his lymph nodes in his neck? They suspected a TB infection coinfected with HIV...even more serious because it could indicate advanced HIV. If the other center said HIV negative, then was a TB test also negative?

The Embassy has to be sure he is not a public charge on the US Economy. IF TB is detected, he automatically gets on Medicaid since this is a Public Health Issue. While HIV is not an issue, a coinfection which I rather suspect the Medical Tester thought, he will not be given a visa until that is cleared up. USPS Guidelines (like most countries) do not allow active TB visa applicants. 

 

What country are you in? Also, do you have insurance through your employer? If so, IF spouses are covered, then print that out and email to him. However, the Embassy is going to want him covered from Day 1 when he steps on US Soil IF TB is ruled out. There are plans called 'Catastropic Coverage' though I do not think they cover existing illness.
