Moving to Saudi - TB Skin Test
Hi, my wife, kids and I will be relocating to Saudi for a job that I have taken, however during my wife's medical exam her TB skin test came back as positive. Her XRays were all clear and her doctor says she was likely just exposed to TB before or was vaccinated against it (although she doesn't remember). Anyway, the doctor says she doesn't have active TB and is not contagious.
Does anyone know how the embassy will view this when applying for her visa? I assume that since she is not contagious that she could still get a visa but we are very nervous at this point that she won't be able to join me right away.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sean.

Re: Moving to Saudi - TB Skin Test
the saudi medical requires a chest x-ray and not a skin test by the way...
