VisaOfficer:


I would ask the Embassy or Consulate where you intend to do your interview what their policy is. The one thing I'm sure of is that, if you otherwise qualify, your husband's medical issue won't prevent you from receiving a visa.

Hi! Nairobi Embassy cancelled my DV interview because my husband's medicals are on hold awaiting Sputum Cultures which takes 8 weeks. According to CDC guidelines the rest of the family should be cleared because his sputum smears are negative, but Nairobi seems to have its own add on policy. Is there anything I can do? I was looking forward to this since May 2014 and finally when I go current they aren't even willing to give me an interview. I know it is against the CDC Policy. Will the Embassy just get away with this?

Not sure if you're still answering questions but I need answers so I'll just ask. I am a DV winner from NBO (principal applicant) with a husband and a daughter and a child on the way in November.we're current but was shocked that they found a small scar on the husband's CXR. He has been asked to undergo sputum testing which requires 2 months culture. That means his result will be out around 10th of October 10 days after the 30 September deadline.
In such a case will our visas be issued except his or do none of us get it?
Or can the Embassy issue the visas and detain all our passports until his TB clearance comes in. In case the sputum comes back positive, they can cancel the visas without prejudice? This is because clearance can only come in 2 weeks after end of dv 2015.
