I got the RFE for the TB Test not done X-Ray Normal. I am planning to do the Skin test and if negative do the X-ray and send the result to USCIS and I will wait.
Hello Depressed Alien,I just got my RFEs. Yes!!! They want us to do the skin test. Eventhough in the original medical form the X-ray was indicated as normal.
Based on the (unreliable and scattrered) information on the web, there have been many cases when people were required to go through "treatment" with positive skin test & negative x-ray. I myself know that my reaction is going to be very positive most likely due to the BCG vaccination and a bunch of allergies I have.
I doubt that you guys know what to do in this situation, but if you think you do, please let me know. How to avoid the fcuking "treatment"?
You know, this situation reminds me of the one in the forties, when the Jews were subject to medical experiments by the Germans. Well, here we go again.
Hello Depressed Alien,
I got the same RFE as you got for TB skin test from NSC, and my X-ray was clear. I am also worried about the liver damage caused by Isoniazid even if it is only 1 %.
You must have already responded to your RFE by now .
Did you do the skin test and got any response from NSC back ?
Anybody else with the same issue please reply. Thanks
Hey Guys,
Please update this forum who got I-485 medical RFE's and got approvals as well after TB test done. Did you guys had just TB skin test or had to redo xray as well and sent a new form to USCIS. How much did it cost!!!
Tx,

I got TB test RFE and now have the Green Card.
Long story short:
- Even if you suspect your skin test will be positive, you MUST take the skin test. Let it come out Positive (normally 48-72 hours). Even if you didn't take skin test, let the form say you did.
- Then do the X-Ray which will come Negative.
- It is up to doctor to prescribe medicine or not. Most doctors don't and mine didn't. If yours does, take the prescription and don't consume medicine.
- However RFE is not concerned with medicine part.
