发帖数: 322 | 1 Is this ok? THe result is not back yet. It should be negative. But the I-693
needs X-ray result, and no place to fill in the blood test result. I know
blood test is accurate. I do not check with my civil surgeon yet. I do not
know if I still need to do X-ray if result is negative? Any one has similar
experience, help me!!!!!!!!! Sorry I can not type Chinese right now! |

发帖数: 166 | 4 on the i-693 form, there are 2 options for TB test. One is for skin test,

“the I-693 needs X-ray result,”This is not true.X-ray not needed if
negative
"no place to fill in the blood test result". This is also not true.
作了TB Gold Blood test, 如果是negative就免掉了x-ray.

发帖数: 8042 | 16 你本来就不可以做两种initial的test，只能选择其中一种。任何一种USCIS都是接受的
，但是不能重复测试。
Q. What is initial testing with interferon gamma release assay (in place of
TST)?
A. To fulfill the requirement of the initial TB testing, as of Nov. 1, 2009,
civil surgeons may use interferon gamma release assay (IGRA), which are
blood tests. The IGRAs that are currently acceptable to CDC are: the
QuantiFERON ® TB Gold Test, the QuantiFERON® TB Gold in Tube Test,
and the T-Spot ® TB Test. CDC may add additional tests. If it does, it
will publish the inclusion of any test on its Web site. See the "CDC:
Technical Instructions for Civil Surgeons" link to the right.
If you choose an IGRA (in place of a TST), the civil surgeon will take a
blood sample from you during the medical examination. The blood is used to
perform the TB initial screening test. Unlike with the TST, you will not
have to return to the civil surgeon's office to have the test result read.
The results of the IGRA test are generally available within 24 hours of your
office visit. If the result is negative, you probably will not need any
further testing for TB. If the result is positive, you will be required to
have a chest x-ray as a means of additional screening for TB. You may not
have a TST or
other initial screening test; the administration of more than one initial
screening test is a violation of the Technical Instructions.
There are certain exceptions to the IGRA testing requirement. For the civil
surgeon to make the best determination of what is required, you should bring
, at the time of your appointment with the civil surgeon, written
documentation of any IGRA testing you previously had.
Q. Do I need both the TST and an IGRA test?
A. No. Only one of the tests is required as an initial screening method to
determine whether you are infected with TB. Also, only one initial screening
method is allowed, according to the update to the TB Component, as
published on CDC's website. See the "CDC: Technical Instructions for Civil
Surgeons" link to the right.
