TB Screening Appeal

[mubashir9819]

Hi
I am on a work permit and my wife applied for a work permit dependent visa in Feb09 from Pakistan. Her TB certificate expired while her application was with the BHC. The BHC refused her visa saying that she does not have a valid medical certificate AT TIME OF DEPARTURE. At the time of application, there were still 4.5 months left for the TB certificate to expire. The BHC took 5 months to make the decision for the application.

I have appealed against the decision and also have asked my wife to retake the TB screening test again. The thing I need to know is DO I SUBMIT THE ORIGNAL TB CERTIFICATE TO AIT(Asylum and Immigration Tribunal) OR SEND A PHOTOCOPY. I am in doubt becasue if the AIT keeps the orignal certificate then my wife will have no certificate when she goes to stamp her visa. If I send a photocopy, the AIT might not accept it incase they require the original.

Please can anyone help me in this .
Thanks in advance.

It is always best to submit original. As far as I'm aware all documents are returned at the end of the case.
