Hi all. I really need some advice here.
I posted this back in July.
Context:
My wife failed her medical examination more than 2 months ago due to TB diagnosis and was not allowed to interview. She did sputum test and we got the results today (~2 months later) that she is positive. However we knew she was positive already because immigration Dr suggested her to go get additional testing at the public health hospital where they treat for TB.
My wife followed the advice immediately after doing sputum for immigration. She has been on TB treatment for 2 months now and has 4 months left (6 month treatment). She will be finished sometime in January 2025.
Today after 2 months following sputum, Dr told my wife that the way forward is the following options:
Option 1. Need to go to the tb facility every day for 6 month treatment and show that she is consuming her medication. They will have to log this. This is as if she is beginning her treatment just now. Dr Nezha said this option is NOT possible for my wife because she already started treatment and won t be able to obtain the proof of 2 months already. On top of this, this is a an absurd requirement that I have a tough time believing Consulate requires this. My wife has a job, it is not feasible to commute to the tb facility every MORNING for 6 months to show she is consuming her medication.
The TB facility gave my wife a TB treatment card to track her progress. She s kept track of it all and attended her appointments with the public TB facility.
Option 2. After my wife finishes her 6 months of medication in January, she will do the sputum test again, wait 2 months for results, and then wait ONE YEAR before she can proceed again with immigration.
Has anyone been thru this process before?? We could really use some advice. We already expedited at USCIS level and at NVC to get the embassy to schedule interview. We were granted expedite at both levels. We CANNOT wait another year. What is the best course of action here?
