Here I am sharing my time for Jan 2023 intake.
1. LOA from college on 4th August 2022.
2. 1st Medical Appointment 13th August.
3. Received letter from the embassy on 25th August (due to some patchy area observed in middle left side of chest). I didn't lodge my visa file till that date.
4. Went for sputum culture test on 4th September to 6th September.
5. Searched about the scenario and after figuring out everything I lodged my visa file on 16th September 2023.
5. Waited for reports and wished to be negative. You will get results of sputum smear and X-PERT on the same day of the test but you have to wait for 56 days to get culture results. (P.S. Never had TB or any serious illness related to chest.)
6. Reports sent to the hospital on 29th October 2023.
8. Second Medical X-Ray on 14th November 2023. (Call the hospital prior to it for the date confirmation, remember your 2nd x_ray can be done only after exactly 3 months of your first medical which was 13th aug in my case,)
(they also appointed me to the chest specialist/ who asked about some general questions regarding any kind of TB history.)
9. Reports sent/Submitted to embassy on 21nd November.
10. Medical updated from under review to passed on 22nd November 2023.
11. Received PPR letter on 6th December 2023.
In my second x-ray the specialist doctor displayed both of my x-ray which were identical which means in both of x-rays there's some patchy area in middle left side. If you never had TB then everything will be alright just have some patience.
Best of luck.
