Perhaps you are not aware of the costs of hep C treatment. Not saying he will be 100% refused but it is an incredibly large omission.

My husband had the same case. What we did was we provided the DMP with my husband's lab results, abdominal xrays, and certification from his hepa consultant that his hepa B is "inactive" and non-communicable. I think it will depend on the SGPT/SGOT result of your lab, if its normal, hepa B carrier will pass the med test.

Actually, CIC looked more on his previous TB history, though it was inactive. My baby and I had no issue eith health. But my husband was requested for a sputum test and before/after sputum test xray. This has caused us delay of 8 weeks for the sputum test result.

We got our visa yesterday, apr 21. But, there was an attached medical surveillance form on his COPR probably because of the TB history.

Either your whole family will be approved or will be refused. I do not give out my private information. It will be purely up to his current viral load, liver enzymes, etc.

Nobody will be able to answer you. It will depend on your husband’s health and viral load. If your husband gets denied your whole family gets denied.

 

[Cynthia03]

Yes.

Is there any chance that his lab results are normal but hepatitis b reactive?

 

[Cynthia03]

If we will be able to manage his health condition and have a certificate that he's healthy and no longer reactive. Is there greater chance?
