Do not need to mention about your TB test being negative.

I dont think results are updated with HO. I think thats for canaa/aus not UK where ION sends results direct to HO.so dont worry just go ahead.raghu.raju457 wrote:Hi vijayj

But in his case he was away for 1.5 months he wont be qualify any of the two points 2 & 3.
Where as i am came from UK week ago and applying for entry clearance. Which is less than 6 months and UK is not in the list of screening test required country.
All iam concern now is do the results will be updated in the home office which i had done test in india or will this be have any impact on my application
How did you manage to 'reside/live' in the UK for almost a whole year on visit visas? What were you doing in the UK while you were on a visitor visa?Purplehaze1672 wrote:Hi Raghu,
I am going through a similar situation as yours. Was wondering what was the outcome of your visa application with out a tb test report????
I just came back last week to my country(tb test needed) to apply for a tier 2 visa after living in the UK for almost a year now on two visit visas. Stayed for 6 months whole on my 1st visit visa, came to My country for a month to apply for anothr visit visa n stayed another whole 6 months. According to the visa application guidelines https://www.gov.uk/tb-test-visa It states that If u live for at least 6 months in a country where tb test is not required and you have been away from that country for not more than 6 months then you are exempted from taking the test. So, does me living in the UK itself for a year now exempt me from taking the test? Any advices shall be really appreciated.

This might be flaggedup on the system that you had resided and not 'visited' for such a long period.
