hi my wife was tested for tb in the phils three and a half years ago before she came to the uk,it was stated away back then on the ukba website that if you couldnt prove at immigration controll in london heathrow ,if asked ,that you were recently screened for tb then they had the right to refuse you ,my step daughter got tested last year as well before she came over ,and was given the results ,to give to the immigration control if asked ,personally i dont see the big problem here ,all they are doing is looking after our health here in the uk ,people may say that non eu immigrants moving here to the uk are paying through the nose for visas etc ,i personally know all about what you mean ,but rules are rules and we must abide by them,money spent on bringing a loved one here to the uk to be with you ,shouldnt even be mentioned here in these posts ,the way i look at things is my wife and stepdaughter are worth more than anything in the world to me ,so what if it does cost us money to bring them here ,they are worth every penny and more ,the importaint thing here everybody seems to be missing out in here is love and happiness .
