Filing I-485 with TB test positive?

[kiran24]

If a person tests positive for TB and the chest X-Ray also shows signs of TB the USCIS doctor will send us to the county doctor's office. If they also determine positive result we wil have to start the medication.

1) So with the dates becoming current on July 01 2007 can a person apply for I-485 or wait till the medication is completed?

2) Also how long does the medication take?

Thanks

1. You cannot apply without medical record.
2. 9 months is the course time for TB medication.

Sorry to hear that !!

Medical records are initial evidence. what it means is, that you must submit the medical records with the 485.
If you can attach some report from doc saying that it is curable or is of less percentage and blah blah blah .... as said earlier you can send in the clear report later.

hope you get out of this soon!!!


Just seek legal opinion and second medical opinion too.

I went to the doctor today and got my medical report. I posted the docs to my attorney too !!:)
Everything was fine.
Go to desi doctor for medical exams.

you probably will be refered for specialist evaluation and then cleared after that. donot worry, scars does not equate to acive TB.

X Rays can differentiate between active TB and scarring. Scarring seen on X Rays will not hold up your GC application

What if a person has active TB and is currently being treated? Doctors are saying it will take 9 months to complete the medication.

Q1. Do we need to wait till 9 months to apply for I140 and 485?
Q2. When will the medical records be opened and monitored? is it when my 485 is being processed or before giving EAD?
Q3. If doctor says we have TB on the form, will i be queried by govt to get it checked again, or will i be rejected?

I had a positive skin test & doctor recommended the 9 months tb treatment, but I applied for I485 & EAD because the doctor did provide me with I693 sealed envelope.

Now, Will it be a problem to get an EAD??? because I haven't completed my 9 months of treatment.

Thanks,
