Medical Clearance (Sputum Test) to USEM

[Hawaii1 25]

FYI....For those of you who had sputum TB testing at St Luke's Medical Center in Manila....St Luke is sending medical clearances to USEM prior to the completion of their 8 weeks.  My wife finished her TB sputum clearance on 11 Nov 2020, however, when she asked St Luke when they sent the medical clearance over to USEM, they said they sent her clearance over on 16 Oct 2020.  Crazy!!

It may be a good idea to email USEM and make sure they have received her medical.  This past week USEM sent back my fiancees passport claiming they had no physical.  SLEC claimed they shipped it November 3, 2020.   After three negative sputum test nothing SLEC does is a surprise to us.

My wife did her sputum test the last week of Sept. I called SLEC today, and they said the results still aren't ready. They said to wait another week.

When did St Luke's tell her to go back to pick up her medical clearance and get some vaccinations?  They should have given her a return date when she was tested in Sep.  Once that date comes and she goes back to St Luke's.....they will give her the official medical clearance, stamp her passport and get some vaccinations.  They will also tell her that they will send her medical records to USEM (electronically).  After a week, have her call them to double check when they sent them to USEM.  Don't be surprised if they tell her they sent her medical clearance to USEM last month.

Did SLEC send it to USEM before your wife had her immunizations? My wife finished her medical last week and I contacted SLEC, and they said it was sent to USEM one day after she had her shots.

That sounds correct....they will send over her medical clearance to USEM after the shots are given.
