Story of my LUNG SCARS

HI everyone!..
i would like to share my story about my lung scars..i've been diagnose last 4 yrs that  i have spot on my lungs or PTB..we all know that if you had that scars it's difficult for you to find a job..especially abroad.
but i am determined to apply dubai.  but gulf countries like dubai is strict in terms of medical condition.especially in lung scars.despite all the worries to be rejected i still tried to apply. i passed the interview but not in medical..even if i present a medical cert from my doctor saying that i am already done my medication for 6 mos they still not honored my MC.but i never lose hope.i tried again this time i told to the employer that i have scars.the employer told me that even i passed my medical here in phil. i cant work in dubai if they see the scars on my lungs..so i made a decision to talk to my cousin here in dubai to help me.she gets me visit visa just to get in dubai.and luckily im here dubai now.and tried to apply.even knowing that i am 90% fail AND 10% pass my medical.(atleast i tried!..) before my medical exam comes.my cousin advice me to drink milk.though i do not believe in drinking milk will not see my scars. but i did anyway.like what they said theres nothing to lose if you try...i drink milk for 2 weeks .before going to sleep and waking up.and my medical exam come i under go bloodtest and XRAY.
they didnt saw my scars.. ive passed all the test and now im waiting my emirates id to release.

THANK GOD!!! DONT LOSE HOPE GUYS.

AND TRUST HIM.

thanks for sharing your experience luckyguy18. i feel determined reading your post. i think im gonna have to  deal with this kind of situation since i had a primary complex when i was young, though i havent tried to take med exams yet, im getting myself ready just in case i'll be in the same condition.

thanks bdaygirl.pinay ka diba?.
im just felt so happy and blessed thats why i decided to share my experience.especially to those who has the same condition.just dont lose hope.trust him.have faith..and owned it.and he will.
if you wanna try to drink milk.before xray.. try it.
im not saying na 100% effective yung paginom ng gatas.but for my case it works!. and samahan moh ng prayers..

thanks!

yes im pinay. i was glad to know ur story, keep it up kabyan! :)

i just came in dubai on visit visa and fortunately i got hired. then i i go for medical. first blood test then xray. after the xray the radilogist told me to go to room i forgot the number. after that go to another room for blood test and sputum. i gave 3 sputum for 3 consecutive days. i dont know the result but after almost a month or should i say 3-4 weeks i go to in the middle of no where for the irish scan and visa cancellation. after 3-4 days of my visa was cancell i've got deported. i read in internet that when a person do an irish scan he/she is permanently ban in dubai. i go to the hospital here in philippines if my tb is active or not. the result is negative for sputum. i also read a person who have lungscar can go back in dubai if she/he will process for the attestation of medical certificate in uae embassy. i just want to know if its true or not. in my passport there is no stamp of life time ban or any ban. they stamp only exit stamp at airport. i just want to ask in my visa cancellation there is number 9 in ban. i mean ban 9 permanent. i just want to ask if its a 9 years ban, 9 months ban or life time ban. thanks

hi kristinakim.all i know whose chest X-ray shows old TB scars are banned from the country for life.
you had that scars before you enter dubai?.since when?

@luckyguy18 are you really sure that im banned for life? or just like me you only know that because of the internet.  how come the HR told me i need to pay 10,000 aed to remove my ban?

yes it came from the internet ..and all story that i read they have the same thoughts. about that..
and for the 10000ead paymet to lift your ban i am not sure for that..and
try this link kristinakim tnx..

i already read that before but its not updated because it was written last 2011. I just knew yesterday that my friend who have a sister who have a situation like me. she was deported last 2012 and fortunately can enter and work again in dubai last year i will ask her if what were the things that she did to remove her ban. from her experience i will safely said its not a lifetime ban like you said or should i say the "internet said". by the way thanks for the info and replying to my message.

really? your story is quite interesting for me as i have been dying to find remedies on how i can go back to dubai for work.  i got the disease there in dubai and i returned home last 2011. for me its like a shattered dream. i get jobs in the country despite my scar in the lungs but i have always wanted to work abroad. ive tried to drink milk but it was just two days prior to the examination date.  it is noted that you said, youve been drinking it for two weeks.  now, i want to try it myself as i'd really like to try it back in dubai so i can give my kids a brighter future.

hello lucky guy, pwede malaman kung ano work napasukan mo dito sa dubai, same situation kc kayo nung pamangkin  ko, gusto ko sya papuntahin dto kya lng nga may scar din sya, graduate sya ng nursing, hndi kaya mas mhigpit pag medical services ang pasukan mo dto sa Dubai?

Honestly I'm coming to Dubai soon for countless times but this time a nerve wracking feeling. I got the illness in 2011 and went back home.  Now I'm trying my luck to be able to give my self and family a brighter future.I wish your story and the things you've prepared for the examination will give me a miracle too.

Hyeeee....what r u saying?????really .....????OMG....  Milk hs solved yr problem.......I hv same issue wit my lungs......hv u suffers from TB in past or what??????pzzzz share sum more info .....   Which help us ...pzzzz share

dear everyone,

badly need your comments/help on this, my husband is in dubai now, well im planning to be with him soon next year, but the problem now is the HR of emirates flight catering informed him that he need to undergo a sputum and blood test for 3 days, (today is his 2nd day) way back here in the philippines, during his medical the xray result show that he has fibrosis on his lungs and recommend for a specialist check-up and by then it he was given a clearance that he is fit to work in dubai but not in other UAE country, it was noted there that the fibrosis may cause from chemicals or alike. My husband did not declare that he was diagnosed with minimal ptb way back 2006 because for him that was not true though he take some medicine by that time but he stop it after he got a medical fit for work the following months. During his stay here in the philippines his always fit for work. So now his in dubai, then after 15 days the medical result prompted that he need to repeat his medical visa so he submit his sputum and blood test. I read blogs and other alike to his case and still theyve been deported. Now my question is those sputum and blood test is just a formality? What if the result turns into negative? Is he still be deported? He works with Emirates Flight Catering as a cook, do you think the company will allow this such situation? Worst come to worst, what are the procedures of deportation?

Sorry but UAE strict on medical grounds for catering staff, they will not tolerate if the found something negative in the tests, they will take necessary action irrespective of historical backgrounds.

Good PM, to all people out here, don't lose hope, my husband got his fit certificate after remedical. He has lung fibrosis/scar. He work as a Cook now and luckily he obtained to got his fit for work certificate to have a residence visa. Maybe UAE law has been changed now or pretty sure it is meant to him to work abroad. So dont lose hope and pray a lot it help.

That's a great news, all the best for for ur husband and all family members, hope to see u too in Dubai :)

Have a great day

To
Husband check....
R your husband has 1 st time or he already worked there n renew there visa ......
