Hi, the results of my parent's xray stated that her respiratory system is abnormal, with this statement:
"Pulmonary Tuberculosis Class V based on chest x-ray findings, clinically asymtomatic. Recommend chest clinic investigation and sputum examination for AFB smears and MTB culture"
She was also diagnosed with:
"Hypertension, controlled. eGFR 109.3 ml/min. Microalbuminuria secondary to Hypertensive Kidney Disease. Family history of Emphysema, Hypertension, Diabetes, Mellitus."
And in her Chest Xray test, the answers of her doctor to these items are:
Lung fields: Abnormal
Note: Hazed infiltrates, left mid lung field (perihlar area)
Evidece of Tuberculosis (TB): Present
Are there strong suspicions of active Tuberculosis: No
I'm not a medical expert but I understand that she has Pulmonary TB but not active. My questions are:
1. Do you think she is not of good health and her parent visit visa will be denied even if there's no strong suspicions of active TB?
2. Will the immigration officer forward her application to a Medical Assessor or will require further test?
3. In the #E1 question of "Section E Health", it is asking: "Do you or any person included in this application have tuberculosis (TB)?"
She's the ony visa applicant but I am confused to to answer this because the doctor says that she has NO strong suspicions of active TB. She has TB but not active?
I really hope that anyone in this forum could answer my questions and advise us what to do?
Is it advisable to just apply for general visit visa of less than 6 months since she does not intend to stay in New Zealand for more than 6 months? If yes, does she has to mention tha she had eMedical and the results are above? Or no need to mention about eMedical when applying for general visit visa of less than 6 months?
Thank you very much!
