Thanks for the replies, quite helpful. Omarm88 no further tests after the ppd were required by specialist?

I had the same situation, the deported me back to my country. If you are asian, PPD is not a good test for TB as it will always result as positive. Ask your company now, before the govt make decision to deport you.

My wife was in the same situation, but she was pregnant so we got an appointment within 1 week. You just go see the specialist and he will give you a document straight after to confirm you have no TB (if you don't).
