My wife in the Philippines tested positive for active TB on her medical exam.
The interview and everything went well, but she had to stay there for treatment.
It turned out to be MDR-TB, so it took extra treatments. It has been 3 years.
Okay, so now she is cured and tested and the medical shows her TB negative.
The doctors have tested her, and the medical report went to the embassy in April.
This is the last piece of the puzzle, and we have really been looking forward to it.
BUT.... waiting is very hard now. How long should we expect to wait from this point?
The embassy website says processing time is 6 months from receipt of the complete package.
It has been three months since the medical, but the rest of the package was okay.
Should I really allow 6 months, or should I inquire after the status by now?
If anybody has experience in this, I would appreciate advice.
Thanks,
Fred
