lung scar : temporary working visa

[lgml_lav]

Hi! I hope someone can help me re my status.

I'm a food service manager applying for temporary working visa.

Way back 2008, I am diagnosed with Pneumonitis and everytime I had my yearly med check and always appeared in my xrays. I am advised to just take some rest and medications. After that I decided to apply for Canada thru an agency and a pre-requisite is a pre-employment medical exam. I'm so anxious about the xray result because this time they said that it could be PTB or pneumonia.I don't know if the previous findings were misdiagnosis or something. I was advised to consult and ask for Pulmo clearance. The Pulmo Dr. ask for my previous xray films from january 2010 and recent and i showed it to him and told me it is a fibrosis or scar in the lungs because there's no change in size. I had also AFS test/sputum  for 3 consecutive days and it's negative. He issued clearance for my pre-medical.

Here is my timeline:

January 2011    -Filed application at a consultancy firm
February 2011 - I am awarded with Job Order and Employer
                    - Signed contract and wait for LMO (90 days waiting time BC)
                    - pre-medical
May 2011       - LMO approved and submitted docs to embassy
June 2011      - Medical referral received and undergone as well
                    - repeated xray lordotic view due to abnormalities (as expected)
July 2011       - referred to Pulmo at Makati Med for check up. I showed my previous xrays and the Dr. told me it was a scar. Similar to my previous xrays with no change in size and form. Though the films were good to support the scarring, he still advised me to undergo TB culture to rule it out.
                    -July 19-21 Sputum tests and it would take 6-8 weeks for the result (September 9, 2011 to be forwarded to DMP)

Now my question is,

do you have an idea how long again the lead time for my application? especially in cases that were advised to undergo further tests? it really prolonged my agony especially for I am still waiting for the result of the sputum test.

anyone who had an idea how months is the processing time after this?

please enlighten me.

Thanks.

God bless.
