edited April 2014 in Other Migration Topic
Hello everyone.. I am currently applying for a student visa in Australia and am planning to bring my fiancee as my dependent. He has had TB 5 years ago pero treated na. Only problem is, may scarring parin sa lungs nya which can be seen on Xrays. They say it will not go away na once may scarring na talaga but it doesn't mean na nakakahawa pa rin. Will this affect our status in applying for his visa? Please po I need to be advised kasi Im really worried na baka ma deny yung visa nya.. Thanks po.

    I am not so certain. Pero I know someone who used to have tb pero 10 years ago naman yung case nia. She was asked to do the culture test. After nia mag undergo ng additional checks, her visa was approved.

    I have ptb scar on my right upper lung but manage to get my visa approved without a problem. They just send me a form 815 together with visa grant letter. No sputum test request whatsoever from CO.

    Basta may health certificate ka lang from your pulmonologist plus ready the old x-ray films. I did the medical exam here in Singapore for my visa. Hindi na rin tinignan dito yung mga old x-ray films ko dito. Nothing to worry about.

    Yes, I had ptb more than a decade ago and palaging lumalabas yng lung scar ko sa xray sa APE sa ofis nmin. Surprisingly, for the last 3yrs hindi n nkikita sa xray. Then came medical exam for my visa, luckily hindi din nkita sa xray result so wlang further test pero nirefer sa specialist just to discuss things. Although I declared n ngkaron ako ng ptb before. Its very imprtnt n sabihin sa doc yng history.

    Ang masasabi ko lang is problemahin mo how you can bring your partner with you sa Aussie and not the PTB history.

    Wala akong kilala or alam na nadenied ang visa sa Australia dahil sa ptb scar or history of ptb, nadelay oo. Malaki ang chance nya i require na sputum test (2-3 months delay due to culture and additional x-ray) but its just a preventive measures on part of Oz govt.

    Di sarado ang mata ng Australia sa PTB history/ scar di katulad ng GCC countries (i.e. qatar, saudi, uae, etc)

    @dreamprayhard84 bring what ever you have.. certifcate/old xrays, etc..
    kung wala na kayo ng mga xrays, eh wala naman sila or kayo magagawa...

    in the end, the doctor will tell you if you need to do additional test to confirm na tb-free na nga..

    goodluck..

    Just bring the medical certificate with you na cleared ka na. May medical certificate is dated June 2006 and tinanggap naman sya sa application ko. Sinama sya ng clinic sa email nila together with my medical results.

    Here in Singapore, advance ung technology nila and magagaling ung radiologist/ doctors. Ayaw na nila tignan ung mga old xrays ko kasi matagal na daw. They are more concerns whether may active PTB/ bumalik ung PTB. They can actually see and determine it it through xray lang. And i'm sure hindi nman ganun nahuhuli ang technology ng Australia sa Singapore. PTB scar is just a scar, "Peklat" nalang. Hindi na nakakahawa, thats why i said nothing to worry unless you are not sure na magaling kana talaga.

    The main reason kaya dito ko pinili mag pa medical kesa sa Pinas. Sa palagay ko lang, mas maluwag ang Australia pag nagpamedical ka sa first world country. Which i think the main reason kaya wala ng ibang request na ginawa sa akin and diretso na visa grant (though may form 815 na kasama, its a mandatory kapag ung medical condition mo is class B yata, i forgot.

    The reasons ung iba ay pinag sputum test pa rin kahit na cleared na through xray na walang active lessions/ PTB is kasi wala silang past history or hindi nila diniclared kung nagka PTB man sila dati. Ofcourse maninigurado ang Australian gov't kaya marerefer yan at ensure nila na magaling kana. Depende din sa scarring, may halata meron hindi nman halata. May mga kakilala ako na na delay dahil jan. Hindi sila nagkasakit pero may scar na nakita. Kahit sila nagtataka paano nangyari yun. Pero sa kanilang lahat, walang na deny.

    Sa sputum test nothing to worry, kung magaling ka na talaga. Kasi kayang idetermine sa laboratory ung PTB bacteria sa ibang klase ng bacteria kapag tinest nila ung culture sample after few weeks.

    PTB scar is lifetime. But it will not prevent us to realise our dreams. Ako habambuhay ko na iingatan ung medical certificate and ung old xray films ko. No choice. I know the feeling of those with PTB scars and may pangamba tuwing may medical. Iwasan lang talaga ung GCC countries, kasi sa kanila kahit scar lang yan, may sentensya ka na. Na reject na ako dati sa Qatar, years ago dahil jan. Pwede ka madeport. May batas kasi sila para jan. Pero Wala akong alam na bansa maliban sa GCC countries, na may malaking issue sa PTB scar.

    Goodluck sayo.

    Yup pero madedelay kasi di sila sure kung active or not. Malamang sa malamang i require magsputum test mom mo plus anothet xray after the sputum. Expect delay cguro between 2-6months. Minsan mabilis minsan mabagal. Ung sputum test nga more than a month na yan kasi i culture test pa ung sample.

    @vhoythoy ok lang sa amin if madelay sya, basta wag lang madeny ung application nia. confident naman kami na negative kasi if ever sana nahawa na kami at wala din naman sya kasi na symptoms. strongly believe na fair ang australia pagdating sa assessment ng medical results, sa mga nabasa ko kpg yata latent TB nakikita din sa xray. tama ba?

    I think so. Advance na kasi technology at machines ngaun. If there's any doubt then they can require you to undergo additional test nman. Pansin ko lang dito sa Singapore, after 5 years working here, and around 5 times na nagpa xray. They are very confident here sa result ng xray plang. Using the stethoscope din ng physician, malalaman nyan rin pag narinig nya ung sounds ng baga. Goodluck sa Mom mo. Basta sure na magaling na sya nothing to worry.

    So if may history ng tb ang mag apply ng tourist visa dapat mga a year before the target flight mag apply ng visa?yung effectivity ng visa diba from date ng flight?mom ko kc nakuhaan ng tubig sa baga nya dati pa.tapos nagkapneumonia din.diko lng sure f nagks tb hehe
    Hehehe malamang hindi kasi ibang sakit ang tb sa pneumonia. Magkakaroon ka ng tb hindi dahil sa pagod or ano man, kundi pag nahawa ka talaga sa taong may tb bacteria. Ako nahawa yata ako sa pinsan ko dati nung nagaaral kami ng college. Pero posible syang magkaroon ng lung scar. So ano man bagay/sakit na magreresult ng sugat sa lungs, pag gumaling nagiging peklat or scar. Kaya ung iba, kahit hindi nagka TB, pwedeng magkaroon ng scar. Sikat lang ang tb kasi talagang nakakahawa kapag hindi nagamot. May friend ako na based sa Gibraltar, di sya nagka tb or pneumonia pero nakitaan sya ng scar sa baga. Nagkadelay delay tuloy ang visa applications nya ng halos isang taon dahil sa mabagal na agent, busy sya, tapos pinakamalapit na medical nila daw eh sa london pa, pero naka graduate nman sya hehe

    Yan din ang pangamba ko. Pero ngayong narinig ko na mga story less worries na. Since 1997 pa me nagka PTB pero everytime na mag x-ray ako nandun pa rin yung scar. I kept some of my old plates and certificates. Sigh!, sana maging okey nman pagdating ng visa application ang yung youngest ko nagkaroon din pala noong 2010 pero pina sputum nmin negative sya at nag gamot din sya for 6mos.

    How abt pala po yung heart blockage? Last year na diagnosed po akong meron 50-60% heart blockage. Now nka maintenance meds ako. Few weeks ago ni check ulet ni Dr. cardiologist ang blockage ko after some diagnostics. Sabi ng cardio doctor ko pag lumala yung bara i-angioplasty nya pero yung bara ganun pa rin maintain sya 50-60% heart blockage kaya hindi malagyan ng stent. Grounds po ba yun para i-deny ang visa.
