Proving that lung scars are not related to TB after being banned

Hi,

I went to the UAE in 2019 on a work visa along with my husband. During my medical fitness, they found scars on my lungs. I got a Quantiferon gold test done privately, however they didn't give me a chance to discuss and I was asked to leave the country within a month's time post a retina scan.

Considering that I couldn't stay in Dubai and didn't have a job in hand because my employer was insisting on leaving UAE in 4-5 days else their trade license could get revoked, I came back and re-settled in my home country India. I came back to India and got all my tests done.

I've never had TB - active or inactive. The lung scars are due to a completely unrelated condition called Sarcoidosis which is a non-communicable, auto-immune disease.

I am getting now job offers from Dubai again. If I want to apply again and try and apply for a work visa again, would the process be given that there has also been a rejection once?

Dear questioner,

If your husband is still here in Dubai, he may try submitting all your medical reports before the medical fitness center where exactly you have done medical tests previously along with a request to consider the current medical report and revoke the ban.

Only blood relations or immediate family members can do this submission.
