TV Skin test Positive 
My skin test (for TV) found positive. Thats why doctor asked me to go for Chest X-Ray. Now waiting for the report. Dr told me that if that one also comes positive (pls pray for me so that it comes negative) then I will have to take 9 months long treatment. In that case will it hamper my DV process? Let me know if you have any suggestion / info

Why they did not working today? It is not true because we are waiting for them
. I did not get anything yet as well.columbus day or something (federal Holiday) . Who else is waiting?
Well mine might be taking longer because they have no info of me in their computers I guess. I don't have an A number or anything. So they are just typing my name in.
This year is going faster tho.

zahidal,
Been a long time, welcome back! There are many reasons why a skin test may come positive and it doesn't necessarily mean you have active TB (infectious TB with physical symptoms). If your CXR comes positive it may be indicative of inactive/dormant/latent TB (non-infectious with no physical TB symptoms), in which case the MD is required to recommend you to the Health Dept. and a treatment plan but you don't have to complete it since you don't have active TB and are considered non-infectious (only about 2% of people with latent TB later develop the disease and become infectious). In that case, you are considered medically cleared for the purposes of USCIS. Meaning, your process should be fine as long as you don't have active TB. Here is a read on TB and Civil Surgeon's procedures as prescribed by CDC/USCIS:

FYI: You will always test positive for skin test once you are positive, so ask for an extra copy of your CXR report in case you need it in future, here in FL, the CXR report is good for 5 years and that varies by state...Good Luck!!!

umuteren,
I highly doubt that, as long as it is in English and indicates you completed high school...

Thanks.. I phoned the two civil surgeons available in my region and one of them gave me a range of 330-580! I just obtained a record of my immunization history so guess i wont have to do all of them.
@zahidal, hopefully you'll be fine. I have already had a positive skin test back home with a clear chest X-Ray. I was told by the doctor it is easily contagious and transmitted by breath and especially common among practicing physicians as they see a lot of people who may already have it. In my case, i need to redo the X-Ray again (since last time was two years ago). Hope it wasnt activated in the past two years!

hey natta,
unless they wanna do it for you for free, the delay is on your bank side. They do not accept unless they get their money
Congrats

I got the text messages and email for the acceptance, but the checks have not been cashed yet.
you are couple days behind me. But since the 8th we have not had any business day so do not worry. Last year it took up to 20 days in some cases. What is you current status? I notice F1 cases lasted a tad longer last year.
I meant "seemed like" a tad later, no biggy. There were a few known F cases

While the fastest NOA took 1 week, these guys got it between 13 -22
again I am guessing.
