Barakuda, I believe so that's what my mom and the place that I went to said. As I said before my test did come back positive and my xray came back negative. Sorry about the insurance that would have helped alot.
Congrats Trini,,, one more appointment notice and u'll be a free lady......lol.
still waiting here fr my code 3 finger print appointment.
Hi everyone..
I had my fingerprints done today.My app wast at 2.00 pm but we were there early around 1.30 pm.Security guy asked if we had cell phones-my hubby took them and waited for me.they gave me worksheet to fill out...after a 2 min they told me to go to the other desk to check in...then to the other where not so nice lady took my picture and fingerprints.the whole thing took me maybe 5 min!!!good service altough without smile!
The lady gave me the app notice for my records and wished me nice day...that's it
about TB my test was positive too and had to do the chest xray-negative!but the doctor who did the egzam sent the results to the Loan Clinic and they called me to make an app with them to treat TB!!!I dont want to take one pill(antibiotic)every day for TB!!!what do you guys think?its senseless...
That's why they give you the chest x-ray, if the test comes out positive. I would get a second opinion and also taking unneeded or to much anitbiotics is not good for your immune system.Well...I told my doctor that ofcourse the test is gonna be positive because i sort of have TB in me!He didnt wanna listen and told me that here in US they see everyone the same - so if the test is positive it means I have TB!
whatever!
It was good that he didn't give me a hard time with the papers for immigration so...i had the envelope ready before july 26th-ufff! at the Loan Clinic they told me the same-1 pill every day for 9 months!!!!!!!!I was like-no!i am not gonna treat myslef with something i dont need.They said ok its your choice.I was worried that it might be a problem for immigration but it seems like its just up to me and the immigration is not involved so...good for me!
I called my sister to ask her is she ever tested positive for TB skin test since she got the same shots I did (she's 6 yrs older than me)- she told me she did TB tests several times and they always came negative. She said her reaction was always so minimal that no doctor ever said she has to do chest xray. I guess I'll have to find out from our mom if she received second TB shot when she was older like I did. I guess it depends on a person if they get a positive TB test after they got vaccinated. I'm kinda worried if the doctors will then give me a hard time if I test positive on the skin test. How ironic because I've been int he US for 8 years (got my bachelor's and master's here) so I came in contact with lot of people here in the US
This is some info on the reason why TB skin test is alway positive:I had no idea that a TB test will come back positive if you got a vaccination when you were a baby. I looked thru my book of shots (thank God I keep the original and an international one with me) and saw that I got one shot when I was born (close to being a month old) and then one when I was 14. So does it show positive for everyone who got a vaccination in their childhood? That makes me sorta mad b/c my insurance was just cancelled since I can't work right now and will most likely have to get a ches xray.
I just wanted to let you guys know, I did my Finger Prints as schedule today. I got there @ 8:40 this morning filled out the worksheet got a number 64 and waited and waited till I was called back about 10:30 am and sat for another 15mins and it was over in about 5-8mins.
If you live in the Las Vegas area you might want to get there about an hour early. I checked my case online and no updates so far.
This is some info on the reason why TB skin test is alway positive:
"BCG (bacille Calmette-Guirin) is a vaccine for TB. This vaccine is not widely used in the United States, but it is often given to infants and small children in other countries where TB is common. BCG does not always protect people from TB. If you were vaccinated with BCG, you may have a positive reaction to a TB skin test."

Happy for you that all went well. Now according to this good thread which you started for the reason of us knowing what to expect after each step, I would think that you should get some good news any day now.
Now your FP's are done, I can imagine you are even more impatient, but everything should be fine: Hang in there...
