Good afternoon po.
I have a question po you might be able to enlighten us what's best to do.
My mother was sponsored by my older sister together with the two dependents.
All two dependents's medical were already clear (one is on-process/the other one is for submission to embassy).
As for my mother's case, she has a PTB and currently on her 5th month medication.
We already submitted all the docs/med cert/old X-ray film for their verification.
The latest x-ray performed was last June 16, 2015 and same result was diagnosed.
Anyway, Ermita branch is requiring for sputum test for 3 consecutive days.
And medication will be extended for 4 months (a total of 9months).
What's bothering is that they are requiring my mom to (option #1) personally go to their hospital to take the meds for PTB, as this is a new rule/instruction from Embassy that they should see the patient daily taking the meds in actuality, otherwise they would notify embassy of our refusal to undergo medication at St. Luke's if we would (option #2) choose to continue medication under a private doctor provided that every month we will submit report or something.
We asked for it's effect of option 2 on our application, but they cannot assure of anything.
Hope we can ask from any of you to give us advise.
Thank you very much.
They told us that others also choose option 2, but no info if those were successful in their visa application.
We are living in Cavite, and it would be costly for us to travel to St. Lukes daily for 4 months.
