Hello, my fellow filers. Been awhile since I had to turn to all your experience for advice, but here goes. So like SOOOO many others, My fiance was flagged in her chest x-ray for sputum testing even though we both know shes not sick, never been sick etc etc...but I dont want to start on THAT whole rant. Anyway, she was flagged in November and completed the sputum tests and now we are just waiting through the 8 week culture test which we are confident will confirm she does not have TB. Our 8 weeks will be up in January and they have scheduled her new medical for January 22nd and because we are so confident, we've gone ahead and scheduled her interview for the 30th and I'm planning to book her flight to the US for Mar 1st to give her time to visit family and friends and say her goodbyes first. My concern is that Gly and just about everyone she knows has recently come down with what the doctor said is mycoplasma pneumoniae which is a respiratory infection. They are all coughing like crazy. The doctor prescribed her medication and she seems to be getting better fairly quickly but I'm freaking out because I know it can take several weeks for pneumonia to completely leave your lungs and I am concerned this will cause them to see something new in her chest x-ray if she has to do it all over again on the 22nd and they might flag us again and make us go through sputum testing and 8 week cultures AGAIN. Has anyone else been in a similiar situation or heard of anyone who has been forced to go through the 8 week culture tests twice in a row after being sick?

There should be no "new medical" and no new x-ray.  If everything goes according to plan she goes back, gets her negative test result and gets sent upstairs for immunizations.  Medical completed.  Ready for interview.

That would be great news because the recent chain of events between the failed medical, the sputum tests and rebooking everything followed by this terrible illness going around was starting to make me feel like everything that can go wrong will go wrong for us. Thank you so much for a quick reply. You've eased my mind more than you know.

If they told her to come back for her results January 22nd and they don't call her back any earlier than that, you can be pretty confident it's a negative result.  When someone tests positive, the results are usually known in the first month and they call them to come back immediately and start treatment.  The more time that passes with no news, the more likely everything is fine.

Her visa will be valid for 6 months from the day she went in, in November. So March departure should be fine.

As mentioned above, the appointment for Jan 22nd is only for the release of sputum test results and immunization.  No repeat x-ray.  Hope that SLEC doesn't call your fiancee before the 22nd.  No news = good news.

 

Don't forget to book the CFO GCP seminar after getting the passport with K1 visa.  No CFO certificate = no boarding the plane out of the PH.
