Tb test

[Tttt786]

Evening every1

Need a couple of answers urgent

My wife visa was granted recently

Her tb test expired on the 12 December but it was still granted.

She went further to do another tb test just in case they ask as the previous one has expired

Is a tb test result reported back to home office if it fails and a person is asked to further attend for 3 days? (to do sputum test) I. E. Passport mark of some sort

Or can I get her a flight even after her going for another tb test as it was granted looking at the previous one?

Thanx x alot for the answer guys appreciate it

Just get a new one and have it with you for your arrival to UK.

[Tttt786]

But do they share the result with home office if it fails?

[vinny]

Shouldn't she get treatment first, if the test fails?

[Tttt786]

She will do but do they let home office know and can she get some extension on the spouse visa?

[seagul]

Why there is a need to redo tb test since the visa is approved and actual test was expired in HO hands.

She will do but do they let home office know and can she get some extension on the spouse visa?

Your wife needs to enter the UK with a valid TB test certificate, otherwise she may well be tested at the port of entry in the UK.

I assume you are asking what would happen if she fails the test this time? What is the issue date on her spouse visa? If she is unable to enter the UK within 30 days, she will need to apply for a visa vignette extension.

Basically scenario is this every and I appreciate the quick answers

We did another tb test thinking she might be asked for it due to the previous one being expired

She went for it but she has been told to come on Monday Tuesday Wednesday for further tests

But does this be reported to home office?

We did not know whether she should do it again or not.

Is she gets tested at the port and fails she can't be sent back due to visa entry clearance I'd thought

Thanx for the answers every1 appreciate

[Tttt786]

Her date to travel are 27 Feb to 29 March

Is there anything we have to worry about if she has failed it? Recently in pakistan? Will this get reported to home office?

Can she travel now not worrying about it?

Plz appreciate it every1

The clinician where the test was undertaken must also report the failure of the test to the Home Office.

The Immigration Rules don't specifically say that the test must be valid at the time on entry into the UK, only the validity at the time the visa application is submitted.

Your wife could travel with her original TB certificate, together with the X-Ray in the absence of a new one. However, note the guidance below (although this is under the now disbanded UKBA)

3.3 Whilst there is power in law to refuse entry to and remove those detected with
active TB, arriving passengers with abnormal results are normally hospitalised
(released on temporary admission under immigration powers and a grant of leave
delayed until treatment has been completed) or the HPA will recommend a grant of
entry and forward details of the migrant to the relevant health authorities in order to
ensure follow up in country.

I believe that Heathrow and Gatwick are the only airports with TB X-Ray facilities.

[Tttt786]

I have sent her a copy of the tb test via WhatsApp and she can show this if need be the old copy.

I am trying to get her a flight to Birmingham

So we r clear hopefully to get her here in the UK as they have not given her a failure just further test to do?

[seagul]

Preferably make her fly after satisfactory result with new report to avoid any inconvenience on airport. Or try to find airport without such test maybe smaller airports where the journey might take a bit longer & costly.

The point is that if the entry airport has no facilities to carry out a TB X-Ray and the Immigration Office doesn't accept an expired test certificate the OP's wife could be refused entry. This is why I advised Heathrow or Gatwick.

But TB test was expired during the process of application and it's not applicant's fault. I never seen any official link saying to renew/apply new in order to seek entry (if someone knows any link I 'll love it). But yes if border staff check the person and finds unsatisfactory health issue then can cause inconvenience still I don't think they can deport straight away.

Jazakhallah every 1

Thank u every 1

Appreciate it

I think why everyone is suggesting a new certificate is to be on the safe side. By all means she can come with old certificate, and in many occurrences the immigration don't even ask to see the TB certificate.

It's quiet normal for TB centre to ask for you to come back after few days for results, especially for adults.

If she hasnt had any symptoms of TB, then you have nothing to worry about. InshaAllah all goes well for you.

[Tttt786]

Jazakhallah for putting me at ease every1 brothers and sisters

She has never Flown and especially alone

Plz every1 do dua for her to come to uk

What will immigration ask as she is new to the UK?

[Londoner007]

If shes travelling alone, definitely get a TB cert for her.

They ask Basics like:

What country you coming from, where is your address here you going to?
Why are you here, what visa?
Who sponsored you?
Are they waiting for you outside?
It's all basics, and they may just ask what is your DOB, something simple as that.

Get your wife to take a paper with your contact details etc just incase she needs to call you from the inside.

Dont worry it's minor, if she has a spouse visa they cant stop her. Tell her to make loads of dua especially for all of us! How fortunate times you have now, you have visa cheer up and enjoy the feeling.

[Tttt786]

Jazakhallah every1 n inshaallah me n her once together will make a whole load of duas for every1 here and inshaallah every1 in general to find there loved ones and wife's and inshaallah grant visas for them

Jazakhallah for the support

Appreciate it
