Need advice from the experts. A year ago I did an INS medical exam. TB skin test was positive for obvious reasons (childhood vaccinations), X-Ray was negative. Despite the negative X-Ray the doctor wrote the following remark: "Your TB skin test is positive you are advised to contact your physician or local health department for preventative treatment". For obvious reasons I did not go for any type of treatment, now INS is asking me to provide them with evidence of TB treatment. What should I do? Would an expert letter from Family Physician be sufficient, or should I go to an INS authorized physician?
