Q: Hi, Yesterday, I got my medical result. It shows an old TB so they made the result unfit. I am still in the UAE now. If I depart from the UAE, how can I come again? Is it possible to get a visit visa or an employment visa? Or if I got treatment in India and get cleared, shall I come back?

Q: I am N.R. and I was working in the UAE as a staff nurse in a hospital in Dubai. Now, I am in India due to deportation from the UAE. I joined the hospital on Aug 4 and went for a medical clearance. After a few days, they called me for repeating the medical as my X-ray shows patch. I went for the medical at al Mohaisanah but they didn't take the X-ray. Directly, they asked me for sputum examination for three days and PPD test. I spoke with the doctor that I got pneumonia in 2013. He told me to check the sputum and PPD test. I've done this and the result came negative. However, after a few days, I got a report as an old TB and they deported me to India. I checked in India but all the reports are negative and I lost my job. I need to go back to the UAE as my husband is there. Can you please suggest a solution for this?
