Much as I want to answer "yea" or "nay", in the aussie tongue , di ko rin alam eh.
Also, I don't think meron din talaga makapagsasabi kung sino ang ma-approve or not. May sarili kasi standard guidelines sinusunod ang MOC na wala naman sa libro. The HepC RNA will confirm level of activity of the virus and the LFTs (liver function tests), will tell them if may ongoing effect sa liver.
What you can really do is comply with whatever tests they request and/or any health undertaking. Hopefully that would be sufficient for a visa grant. What can I suggest for now? Avoid muna any toxic drugs or substances, like alcohol, smoking, or toxic meds.
Balitaan mo na lang kami, Goodluck.
