Dear all,

Thank you for those who have given me valuable advice during the last year and now I am in the stage of requesting medical and police clearance check by DIMA.

However, I have another question comes:

In form 26 "Medical Examination for an Australian visa", question 15(c). It reads "Have you EVER had tuberculosis or an abnormal chest x-ray, or have you ever coughed up blood or had contact with a person with turberculosis?"

My answer to this question should be YES as I have contacted my father, who has passed away many years, with light turberculosis infected. He was not dead of turberculosis, and I have not been infected at that time.

If I reported it, will it cause my application failed?
If I didn't, once they discover I have made false statement, my application or granted VISA must be canceled.

Is there anyone has the same situation as me?

(Is that I am over anxious ?)

Thank you for your reading.

Derek.

Hi Derek
I don't think you should be too concerned - if TB shows up, they should give you a chance to get it treated and then follow it up.
I could be wrong, but that's what I gathered from reading up on it.

Also - don't lie or leave anything out - if they find out you'll be in trouble!
