Funny thing is that I can return to the USA with no medical screening AT ALL if I spent 1 day or 30 years in the Philippines-- and ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS don't have to undergo ANY of this screening before being released to anywhere they want to go in the USA...
Hi Ma’am! Thank you for this video. I just have a question or two if you don’t mind 🙏 I underwent a sputum exam last December and this week is my 6th week. I received a call from SLEC today informing me that my appointment in going back has been moved to February 14, a day late from my original schedule of February 13. The lady who called me told me that they need to confirm something. When pressed as to what it was about, she then told me that there was a growth in one of my sputum. Shld I be worried? Why only 1 day?
Hi! Thank you for this sharing, clear and informative. If I may ask, is the sputum test hard? How long does it take for sputum test, 15 minutes or longer?
Nope. That’s too long. You just need to spit on the collection tube to reach a particle mL and you’re done.But lining up and waiting for turn takes time.
Hi nurse Germz thanks for the video.. you said were scheduled an interview 40days before your medical expired.. then you were approved at the embassy.. then you waited for the passport to be sent to you then you had to enter US borders still within 40days? Is that accurate po? Im wondering how hectic it was for you.. because nag pa medical Day 1 palang po ako ngayun.. and they said wala pa pong result yung xray ko balik ako bukas as Day 2 at 10am.. and natatakot ako baka mag undergo ako ng sputum test.. hirap kasi from malayo ako and hirap mag leave from work..

@@Nursegermz I am already trying to secure visa interview appointment but there's always no schedule. May I clarify what you mentioned in your video about the additional details you submitted in the Immigrant Visa Inquiry Form. 1. Initial ID appointment - what's ID appointment? interview date in embassy? 2. date of sputum clearance - does this correspond to the date when we were asked to return for the result of the sputum culture (which was also the day we got our immunization)? I called SLEC and informed me they do not give sputum/medical clearance because they were already submitted to the embassy. 3. expiration of medica exam - is this the date stamped in the sputum exam form which says "report will expire after 3 months on _______"?

Morning, Nurse Germz. I had my initial med exam appointment at SLEC last April 11, 2022 then was ordered to undergo sputum exam from May 2-4, 2022. After that, I was given the green slip telling to go back at SLEC on July 4, 2022 8AM and never received call as of this time from them. I noticed an expiration date of September 29, 2022 in the slip. Is this the validity date I need to follow to complete my USEm ID and the date I need to watch out for in order to be in the US before this date expires? Thank you.
Hello, Nurse Germz my Manila Fiancee is going through this via the K1 Visa but it's nice to meet you I am watching from Greensboro North Carolina Your New Friend.
Thank you so much for this video, inquire ko lang sana kung pwede na mag schedule thru email, since next available slot is malapit na masyado sa expiration ng medical ko

Hello Nurse Germz! Thanks for making this video and hope to get some insights about my current situation. I'm an applicant for NZ and had to have sputum last July 13-15. I got my smear results last July 20 and it was negative! Doctor explained that there's minor infiltrates seen in my chest xray but it could just be scarring but I still need to wait for 6-8 weeks for the culture results. I was given a slip that says to come back on Sept 12. Today I received an email from SLEC informing me that my sputum culture MTB results are now available and I can come on Sept 1st. Of course I was feeling anxious coz I've read somewhere that you don't want it to be earlier than the original schedule. The only saving grace for my panic attack is that IT WAS NOT A CALL, just an email. So I decided to call the number in the email and a certain Lisa answered the local for NZ Panel. I called just to get a feel..and asked if I need to reschedule if ever I have work on Sept 1, when is the deadline for me to inform them. Sabi sakin 3 days prior and dapat either on a Tuesday or Thursday lang coz yun ang availability ng Pulmo nila. So I asked her to check my name and records if ok lang ako na later than Sept 1 (it's my way to gauge if urgent ba or what) and she asked me to wait as she will check and when she returned sa line sabi niya, ok lang naman daw kung later than that basta inform Lang sila 3 days prior to September 1st. Which tells me NEGATIVE ako coz dapat if ever hindi dapat nila patagalin. Right? What do you think po? 😁🙏❤️
@@Nursegermz you think po ba na strong chance parin na negative kahit earlier than expected ko po? i am 35 years old and very healthy and don't smoke. i don't feel a thing..and parang walang sense of urgency sa side ni SLEC when I called to check.

Hello, on the last day of sputum extraction, will i get my green slip in the morning? im wondering if i can schedule my return flight in the afternoon.
Hello possible po ba ma refuse ko sa visa ko.my sputum is negative but my xray my doctor said same from past result seen some spot.nakaka stress my pulmonat told me..the embassy desisyon if have some other test.i feel stresss now..
Mam last question napo sorry kabado lang, Bakit po may additional po na Chest x-ray after ng culture test? May additional of waiting poba after non? Balik po kasi ako ng feb 16 para sa result ko. Maraming salamat po🙏
Hi, I just have few questions 🙂 why this is all required since you don’t need medical exam for tourist visa what are chances it’s positive since you don’t have any prior issues
Never applied for toursit visa. For the chances? Well we can never tell. Advantageous ung mga nagprevious tx or diagnosed talaga since assured na sila na negative. Downside lang is 2 months waiting sa result. Guess, you just have to wait and pray for a negative result.
Hi nurse gems this video is very helpful to us who now undergoing sputum I have a question this week is the 6weeks of my sputum test and I’m so very stress if I should schedule an interview after this week or I really need to wait until I will return to slec on the date they told me… thanks and God bless
Hi po, dunno if. Still answer inquiries. I had my third day of sputum collection today at SLEC but was ask afterwards to comeback after 4 days for PULMONARY EVALUATION, does this mean I’m positive for tb? Please konting advise Lang po. They gave me the green paper but there’s no tick whatsoever, it’s all empty paper Lang. Please advise naman po. Thank you
I have a 0.9cm nodule on my left lung for 16 years already, and no growth has been seen. Xray results still the same from 2006-2022. I applied for NZ RV recently and of course As expected my xray result came with abnormal findings. I was referred to SLEC for Sputum test this coming Sept 12-14. I am hesitant if I am able to produce sputum since I don’t cough a lot. Do we have a steaming device to induce coughing? Also, I believe that what I have is just scarring from a very old lung infection, do I still need a sputum test instead of a ctscan? I hope you can answer my questions. TIA
Ok lang po laway. Just show them na you’re exerting effort para d na need magrepeat the next day. No steaming device, preparation is your discretion na po. You click this timestamp 1:17 to see the form that contains the ff abnormalities they check on your xray. Nagfofollow rin po sila ng protocol so, we have nothing to do but follow as well. The advantage is you know it’s just scarring so, you’re assured that negative ang result non. The only downside is, you just have to undergo the excruciating agony of waiting.
Hi po, i received a call, moving my result's date for 2 weeks.. i asked them why, the lady told me it's not TB but there's a growth.. I'm really worried though, any insights po?
There is a 2mm nodular opacity identified in right lower zone maybe an old healed granuloma. Rest of the lung fields appear clear. (This is subject for sputum test?)
Manila usem ka ba or jan sa singapore? It’s only the affiliated med exam who can say. Sa kanilang result din po sila magbabase. So whatever they see sa kanilang xray, if it falls under that category ma subject of sputum po talaga sya. And sa kanila ka lang din magspusputum. What I suggest, go ahead with the medical exam na.
Hi, ask ko lang po. I did sputum test in 2022 and its negative. Doing my xray for years now and it just a scar according to results. Nagagamot ko na ung tb ko way back 2006 but since matagal na wala akong medical certificate. How many percent kaya na magiging positive ako? 😭
Had the Same scenario but still got sputum. I’ve discussed this about their criteria and if any makikita nila, automatic na po so accept nlng and make use of the waiting period.
Pag po ba nag sputum last year pero negative ang result. Then need mag repeat ng medical for re applying visa and need mag sputum ulit. Baket po kaya need mag repeat sputum? Posible po ba na dahil sa previous record?
Hi nurse Gemz, I'm done with my sputum test awhile ago and it's my last or 3rd day. Sabi po ng nurse is babalik po ko ng nov8 for my smear test results. Ano po kayang next na gagawin
Mam may mga cases poba na latent TB, Pinagtataka ko lang kasi bawat ma xray ako may time po na wala namang nakikita may time naman na meron. Siguro 3 times nako na xray sa una may findings pangalawa wala pangatlo pinagdudahan lang tapos now pangapat sputum test po. Almost year nadin po lumipas sa mga xray ko nayan
If you’ve watched carefully my video at the start, I’ve explained na may mga sinusunod na criteria ang slec sa pagbasa sa xray nila. I’ve also attached the pic in the video para makita kung ano un. Nah kahit konting dot lang pagtugma sa mga criteria, drecho sputum po yan. Sadyang ang magagawa lang talaga is follow their protocol and wait for 2 months.
Mam pano po kaya nag ka findings ako sa xray ko, Wala naman akong kahit anong sintomas ng TB. Nangangamba lang po ako posible po kaya na need pako mag gamot? Sana nalang hindi
hello Nurse, aak ko lang kasi 1995 pa ata nong nag gamot ako ng TB, after that puro clear na xray ko, may possibility kaya na ipa sputum pa ako? need ko pa ideclare un kahit matagal na?
Depende po sa inu. Ang susundin po nila ay ang xray pa rin nila. Kung anong anonalya makita nila, for sputum po. Same sa akin, clear na rin mga xray ko but may nakita pa rin sila. Dineclare ko din nman ang akin para d nila ma suspect as active infection.
Hello po. Paano po kapag 5 yrs ago nadetect din na may scar ako sa lungs pero binigyan lang ako med cert. pero nitong sept.28-30 nagsputum ako hindi ko po nadeclare and wala na din kasi yung previous xray ko..possible po ba na magpositive ako sa culture test?
So, history of PTB? If you did the meds, or got a neg results non, then you’ll know what the result will be, negative. The waiting time is just the downside of it.
Hi nurse gems medyo kabado ako this week kasi it’s may 6 week na sa sputum culture I have may examination last July 18 to 20 tama po ba yung bilang ko..Hnd na ako makatulog minsan… 😢 hope u can enlighten me. Thank you bigtime
Yes. Start rescheduling your ID. It’s safe to say at that period of time na. Anyway it will take time na ang USEM magreply. So sakto by 8th week sa sputum clearance mo may schedule ka na. I also explained sa video about this.
Or should I wait until Friday? To schedule my interview? Yung sa paper na binigay nila I will return September 18 Monday… so thankful talaga po sa inyong video and for your prompt response on my question..❤
@vincentserafino4710 tip lang po yan na magreschedule ka na. Kahit you reschedule as early as 6weeks hanggang sputum clearance mo, it’s not a guarantee na mabibigyan ka agad. So, you want to do everything para mapadali ang reschedule
Hi mam good day.. me and my son have our medical at slec but sad to say my son under sputum but me i past my medical,they said no need to cancel my appointment interview since im the principal applicant just rescheduled the interview appointment of my son..mam can you please help me what to do how to schedule the interview appointment for my son.. thank you mam and god bless

@@shielacruz2593 hi.. right after ng medical sasabihin agad kung under sputum ang applicant then bibigyan k ng date kung kylan ung 3 days na sputum test then wait for 8 weeks for the result.. super stressful nngyari samin ng anak ko to the point na muntik na expired visa naman.. but god is good naisabay ko rin anak ko sa pg alis now dito na kami sa US last june 13.. if i wer u mg start k n mg check slot sa interview kung alam mo nman na negative ang magiging result ng test.. super dyan kc ako na stress sa interview na yan..
i mean tapos na ako sa sputum ko then pinababalik lang ako sa isang date which is on June 2 tapos di ko alam ilang days mag stay. di ko alam kailan matatapos ang medical eh
Hi po . This coming week po pang 8 weeks ko sa culture test ko po . Sure po kayang negative at wala po tatawag sakin from St. Luke's kasi mag reschedule na po ako ng interview . Hope you notice me po . Thank you po 🙂
Sana mapansin, worried ako kc kahapon lang nagfirst day sputum collection ako 3x na nila ako pinagcollect.pagtapos nun sabi sakin for pulmo evaluation nalang antayin ko which is feb 12 yun,napaisip ako bakit one day process lang yung sputum test ko e nakarecod dun sa yellow slip 3 consecutive days yung collection.nakakanega lang anong dahilan isn't positive or what yung sputum ko?but i always pray and i always believe that god will make a way.🙏
Sputum result can only be obtained 6 to 8weeks. So, it’s impossible to tell on the day. No idea bakit ganyan so yeah, just pray and believe in God’s will.
Hello Nurse Germz! Ask lang po sana bakit po kaya ako natawagan ng slec pang first day kopalang po this 5th week? November 27 nakalagay po sa paper but November 30 napo ako pinapabalik. 3days delay gab bakit po kaya??? Tysm sana po masagot😭
@morenoyvannemarizryane.7724 chinange ang date nyo since holiday ang Nov 27 close sila if holidays. Wag muna magisip ng ano ano. Sila lang talaga makapagsabi so pray lang din for negative result
@Nursegermz sp yong NVC letter po ba yun, yung you are eligible? Yun kasi basihan ng expiration di po ba sa pag apply ng visa? Pag incase ma expired yun ng February then yung gamutan eh lalagpas ng February po, di ba mag ba back to zero yung application like from the start po sa USCIS? Or once tapos na sa gamutan tapos expired na Yong application ng visa eh Ok lng mag patuloy na sa interview? Hope na gets nyo po ako hehehe.
@alviebasanez9683 yes and nope. Yes it will expire after a year only if wala kang ginagawa or pibabayaan mo sya. Once mabigyan ka ng ID, nagmedical ka. Ang medical expiration na ang babasehan which is 6months. So if na sputum plus nagpositive, that’s 2months waiting for sputum result plus 6 months for treatment so expectedly lampas expiration, medical ka lang again and you will have another new expiration. Pero not 100% sure ako. Better reply sa mga comments dito na nagpositive kung ano nangyari sa kanila.
my sputum collection was last sept 28-30, 2022. and pinapabalik po ako sa Dec 1 according sa green paper. as of now, wala pa pong tawag. im on my 6th week going 7th. is it already safe to schedule my us visa interview? THANK YOU.
Hello ma'am, Naka 7 weeks nako ng pag hihintay this January 27 2023, napo result ko pero pinababalik ako ng February 16. Possible poba na mag positive pa ung result ko or mag pakampante nako na okay napo lahat? Please answer 🙏😩 Stress na stress napo 😩
Sadyang sila lang po makakasagot po. Na extend po ba ang clearance date mo? Kung sino po naginform sa inu nyan, un po sana ang dapat tanungin kung bakit.
@@Nursegermz wala man po mam nung na pulmo evaluation po ako eh sinabi lang po na January 27 ung result mo pero balik ka nalang ng feb 16 para isang lakaran nalang daw po ung gagawin ko
@nurse germs hello po ate, does pulmonary evaluation means ur positive? Wala po kasi laman ang green paper na binigay sakin. Dunno if Meron something dun sa sputum exam ko. Nakakakaba sobra😔😔😔 wala man Lang nakasukat na kahit ano. Sana naman po may mag advise sakin. God bless po sa lahat
If you’ve watched my video sinabi ko po walang ipagalala iexplain lang nila bakit na sputum ka. 8weeks pa rin malaman ang result ng sputum collection mo
As I’ve mentioned sa video, ang SLEC lang talaga makapagsasabi. They base it from their xray result and if there is anything they found that is a criteria for sputum, you will undergo sputum. Sa mga may prev diagnosis, prepare ahead nlng. I had a prev diagnosis too.
Hello po sana mapansin may ask lang po ako, what if yung tito ko and anak nya dalawa mag undergo sputum august 22-24. Then on the 3rd day ng collection august 24 bngyan po siya ng paper na balik sila august 30. And yung mga pinsan ko po hindi sila Bngyan ng ganon notice. Positive result po ba meaning non? Thank you po sa sasagot.
@@Nursegermz hindi po sinabi e basta bngyan lang po nila ng white paper na august 30 need bumalik. Pero yung dalawang anak nya po sinabi lang wait sila ng 2 mos pero wala po sila nung white paper na pinapabalik ng august 30.
Hello ma'am maganda araw po! May itatanong po sana ako natapos kuna po yong tatlong araw na pagkulekta ng plema . After pangatlong araw po nang pag kulekta ng plema ko. may binigay po sakin yong nurse na papel at babalik daw po ako sa 18 kakausapin daw po ako ng doctor! Ano po yon ma'am positive po ba ang sputum test ko? Sana po masagot nyo ! God bless po
hello ma'am may i ask a question po regarding po sa sputum ,nag declare po ako sa nurse that i had previous history po then nag undergone po ako ng medication way back 2020 , Ma'am is it possible po ba na mag papositive pa po ba yong culture results po even though nag gamutan na? thank you
Nope. as long as you’ve given the medical certificate that reflects everything including the medication, wala na po pangambahn. Waiting in vain lang talaga po. Scar lang po nakita nila and they just had to follow their protocol pagmay makita ng something sa xray and so does us, follow lang ang kanilang 2 month protocol for that.
Hello po namove din po ako from November 27 ginawa pong November 30, pero sakto po kasing holiday ang 27 but im not so sure kaya medyo kabado din poko. Na immunization napo ba kayo ma’am??
Hi nurse hope you can help me po. Nag sputum test po ako nung May 11-13 then nung May 18 bumalik ako for pulmonary evaluation and yung result ay negative. Pero sabi nila i need to wait po ng 6-8 weeks para makitang negative talaga yung culture test and babalik ako ng July 11.... Then now July 1 they called me earlier and informed me na may result na yung culture test and mas pinabalik ako ng maaga which July 7. Medyo anxious lang po ako. In your own opinion niyo po tingin niyo po okay naman po ang result? It's been 7 weeks po nung huling sputum test ko po. Hope you can help me po. Salamat and God Bless
Yup. It's also in my video that if you haven't received any call during th 6th week of waiting, it's good as safe so if SLEC, themselves, informed you that the result is negative then, that's the best thing to happen since it's a week earlier. Start requesting now for reschedule interview.
good am maam. tanung ako maam if negtive sa sputum tapos xray ka ulit para e compare ung dati pong xray tapos may nakita na plema sa bago mong xray . anu kaya mangyari nyan maam. negative sa sputum mo pero may na kitang plema sa bago mong xray kc may ubo ako. salamt po
Sa previous po ba yan ang negative sputum mo? Kung may makita ang slec sa xray nila that falls under the criteria for TB, sputum po ulit. Regardless of your previous xray results and sputum, babase nila kung ano makita sa current slec xray.

Nope. No discrimination for nurses sa US. Once magmedical kayo sa st. Luke’s, ma spusputum lng kayo which can only cause delay but not refusal.
Mam last question napo sorry kabado lang, Bakit po may additional po na Chest x-ray after ng culture test? May additional of waiting poba after non? Balik po kasi ako ng feb 16 para sa result ko.
Maraming salamat po🙏
D po ako makakasagot since I didn’t undergo ng pangalawang xray po.
Naexperience ko din po to. Ano po update nung sainyo?
@@kimberlyquiambao3460 ok na te asa canada nako
Hi Po ask ko lng pgktpos Ng 2nd x-ray nyo Anu Po mangyari?
Hi, I just have few questions 🙂
why this is all required since you don’t need medical exam for tourist visa
what are chances it’s positive since you don’t have any prior issues
Never applied for toursit visa. For the chances? Well we can never tell. Advantageous ung mga nagprevious tx or diagnosed talaga since assured na sila na negative. Downside lang is 2 months waiting sa result. Guess, you just have to wait and pray for a negative result.
Hi nurse gems this video is very helpful to us who now undergoing sputum I have a question this week is the 6weeks of my sputum test and I’m so very stress if I should schedule an interview after this week or I really need to wait until I will return to slec on the date they told me… thanks and God bless
Hi po, dunno if. Still answer inquiries. I had my third day of sputum collection today at SLEC but was ask afterwards to comeback after 4 days for PULMONARY EVALUATION, does this mean I’m positive for tb? Please konting advise Lang po. They gave me the green paper but there’s no tick whatsoever, it’s all empty paper Lang. Please advise naman po. Thank you
Same situation po. Ano po nangyari? Nasa US na po ba kayo?
@@PTCALanu po sabi)
Nakaalis kana poba @radrad
How much time it take to come the negative results?
Results come out 8 weeks after sputum collection. The negative result depends on your sputum collection.
Hi question about bacterial growth Sa sputum. Pinag-antibiotic ba or repeat sputum para maclear sa sputum exam?
I just mentioned about growth but nit specifically bacteria. As per feedback, na extend lang ng 1 week waiting before na clear.
I have a 0.9cm nodule on my left lung for 16 years already, and no growth has been seen. Xray results still the same from
2006-2022. I applied for NZ RV recently and of course As expected my xray result came with abnormal findings. I was referred to SLEC for Sputum test this coming Sept 12-14. I am hesitant if I am able to produce sputum since I don’t cough a lot. Do we have a steaming device to induce coughing? Also, I believe that what I have is just scarring from a very old lung infection, do I still need a sputum test instead of a ctscan? I hope you can answer my questions. TIA
Ok lang po laway. Just show them na you’re exerting effort para d na need magrepeat the next day. No steaming device, preparation is your discretion na po.
You click this timestamp 1:17 to see the form that contains the ff abnormalities they check on your xray. Nagfofollow rin po sila ng protocol so, we have nothing to do but follow as well.
The advantage is you know it’s just scarring so, you’re assured that negative ang result non. The only downside is, you just have to undergo the excruciating agony of waiting.
@@Nursegermz thank you so much po. Hoping for the best and for the success of your yt account.
Thank you so much po. God bless on your journey po☺️
Hi po, i received a call, moving my result's date for 2 weeks.. i asked them why, the lady told me it's not TB but there's a growth.. I'm really worried though, any insights po?

There is a 2mm nodular opacity identified in right lower zone maybe an old healed granuloma. Rest of the lung fields appear clear. (This is subject for sputum test?)
Is that the result from slec?
@@Nursegermz no maam. The result is from my panel physician here in singapore. Do I need additional test? Like sputum?
Manila usem ka ba or jan sa singapore? It’s only the affiliated med exam who can say. Sa kanilang result din po sila magbabase. So whatever they see sa kanilang xray, if it falls under that category ma subject of sputum po talaga sya. And sa kanila ka lang din magspusputum. What I suggest, go ahead with the medical exam na.
@@Nursegermz singapore po maam. Sabi po sakin no issue po. Wait na lang daw po email galing immigration kung may additional test.

Hi, ask ko lang po. I did sputum test in 2022 and its negative. Doing my xray for years now and it just a scar according to results. Nagagamot ko na ung tb ko way back 2006 but since matagal na wala akong medical certificate. How many percent kaya na magiging positive ako? 😭
Had the Same scenario but still got sputum. I’ve discussed this about their criteria and if any makikita nila, automatic na po so accept nlng and make use of the waiting period.
Pag po ba nag sputum last year pero negative ang result. Then need mag repeat ng medical for re applying visa and need mag sputum ulit. Baket po kaya need mag repeat sputum? Posible po ba na dahil sa previous record?
D po. Since may nakikita pa rin sila sa sa current xray reading po.

If 7 weeks is past already? Just ask only thanks
You can start rescheduling. As per my video as early as 6 weeks, it’s good enough that you’re at the safe side already
Hello! What if po wala talagang ma-expel na phlegm if ever kung wala naman pong ubo? Pano po kaya yun? Pwede po kaya saliva lang? Thank you!
Yes. Pwede lang
Mam may mga cases poba na latent TB, Pinagtataka ko lang kasi bawat ma xray ako may time po na wala namang nakikita may time naman na meron. Siguro 3 times nako na xray sa una may findings pangalawa wala pangatlo pinagdudahan lang tapos now pangapat sputum test po. Almost year nadin po lumipas sa mga xray ko nayan
If you’ve watched carefully my video at the start, I’ve explained na may mga sinusunod na criteria ang slec sa pagbasa sa xray nila. I’ve also attached the pic in the video para makita kung ano un. Nah kahit konting dot lang pagtugma sa mga criteria, drecho sputum po yan. Sadyang ang magagawa lang talaga is follow their protocol and wait for 2 months.
bakit yung iba white paper ang binigay yung iba green naman? may difference ba? just wondering po.
I don’t think so baka iniba lang paper? Hehe
Sa slec bgc yata yang white , dyan sa bocobo yung green
Kung ngyyosi po ok lang ba?

Hello ate I’m aspiring USRN San ka po ang apply ? Direct hiring ka ? Thanks po
hello Nurse, aak ko lang kasi 1995 pa ata nong nag gamot ako ng TB, after that puro clear na xray ko, may possibility kaya na ipa sputum pa ako? need ko pa ideclare un kahit matagal na?
Depende po sa inu. Ang susundin po nila ay ang xray pa rin nila. Kung anong anonalya makita nila, for sputum po. Same sa akin, clear na rin mga xray ko but may nakita pa rin sila. Dineclare ko din nman ang akin para d nila ma suspect as active infection.
thank you sa pag reply 😘😘😘
Hello po. Paano po kapag 5 yrs ago nadetect din na may scar ako sa lungs pero binigyan lang ako med cert. pero nitong sept.28-30 nagsputum ako hindi ko po nadeclare and wala na din kasi yung previous xray ko..possible po ba na magpositive ako sa culture test?
So, history of PTB? If you did the meds, or got a neg results non, then you’ll know what the result will be, negative. The waiting time is just the downside of it.
Hi nurse gems medyo kabado ako this week kasi it’s may 6 week na sa sputum culture I have may examination last July 18 to 20 tama po ba yung bilang ko..Hnd na ako makatulog minsan… 😢 hope u can enlighten me. Thank you bigtime
Yes. Start rescheduling your ID. It’s safe to say at that period of time na. Anyway it will take time na ang USEM magreply. So sakto by 8th week sa sputum clearance mo may schedule ka na. I also explained sa video about this.
Or should I wait until Friday? To schedule my interview? Yung sa paper na binigay nila I will return September 18 Monday… so thankful talaga po sa inyong video and for your prompt response on my question..❤
@vincentserafino4710 tip lang po yan na magreschedule ka na. Kahit you reschedule as early as 6weeks hanggang sputum clearance mo, it’s not a guarantee na mabibigyan ka agad. So, you want to do everything para mapadali ang reschedule

what will happen with ur petition if you are positive?
No changes. You just have to undergo the 6months treatment of medication to get cleared and fly to US
Pano po ang expiration po application di po ba ma teterminate?@@Nursegermz
Magmedical lang again
@Nursegermz sp yong NVC letter po ba yun, yung you are eligible? Yun kasi basihan ng expiration di po ba sa pag apply ng visa? Pag incase ma expired yun ng February then yung gamutan eh lalagpas ng February po, di ba mag ba back to zero yung application like from the start po sa USCIS? Or once tapos na sa gamutan tapos expired na Yong application ng visa eh Ok lng mag patuloy na sa interview? Hope na gets nyo po ako hehehe.
@alviebasanez9683 yes and nope. Yes it will expire after a year only if wala kang ginagawa or pibabayaan mo sya. Once mabigyan ka ng ID, nagmedical ka. Ang medical expiration na ang babasehan which is 6months. So if na sputum plus nagpositive, that’s 2months waiting for sputum result plus 6 months for treatment so expectedly lampas expiration, medical ka lang again and you will have another new expiration. Pero not 100% sure ako. Better reply sa mga comments dito na nagpositive kung ano nangyari sa kanila.

Yup. It's also in my video that if you haven't received any call during th 6th week of waiting, it's good as safe so if SLEC, themselves, informed you that the result is negative then, that's the best thing to happen since it's a week earlier. Start requesting now for reschedule interview.
