Past (2015) cured Tuberculosis History While filing i-485
Hi, I am really worried about something. If any one of you faced the similar situation like me I would be grateful.
I had tuberculosis in 2015, which was fully treated and cured in my home country. I’ve had no health issues since then. Though i do not have the prescriptions back then because it was long ago and we do not have any EHR, I did a checkup in 2021 and the doctor said basically the scar you see on your lungs is basically due to the previous damage done to you by the virus. But it is not harming you. I had that checkup report of 2021.
I’m planning to file Form I-485 under the NIW category, and I’m worried about how a past (but cured) TB diagnosis might be viewed during the immigration medical exam?
I have seen from the UsCis that they only give in-admission to active cases only. Treated or previous one are admissible and marked as latent TB.
Any helpful insights from you would be great from you or your known peoples experience if any. I already got the appointment of a doctor from south asia as I am from south asia. Should i explain him my previous treated TB history and the previous 2021 checkup reports so that he can understand?
Thanks

I'm not sure that this disease has any effect. As far as I remember, you only get tested for AIDS and venereal diseases.
