1. The requirement for TB screening is part of the visa application process since 28 February.
Means the certificate MUST be submitted as an integral part of the Visa Application.
2. Since Olivia submitted the application before 28 February she was not required to include any such documentation.
3. Even before the TB screening was included within UKBA rules many people were still being asked for X-Ray at both Heathrow and Gatwick. Sometimes the immigration staff would request an X-Ray to be undertaken at the airport and sometimes they did not.
Louis, in all honesty, no-one can say if the immigration staff will ask for X-Ray or if they will request 'On-Site' X-ray at the airport facilities.
Which UK airport do you envisage as the arrival point?
It's not a big deal anyway. Just involves a small delay if it's insisted upon.
There's been NO reports of anyone being refused entry for not having an X-Ray so please put that particular concern right out of your mind.
There's quite a few posts here in the forum outlining the experiences of many members on this subject. Please do a quick search to satisfy yourself
4. May I suggest that Olivia undertakes a chest X-Ray at her nearest convenient clinic. I believe the cost would be around
P1000
At least this way she would have an X-Ray
This would minimise any delay at UK immigration, but more importantly would be valid personal health check for TB.
There's no requirement for Olivia to use the UKBA approved centre in Manila.
Hope this clarifies
