 |
|
So far as I knew, an AIDS check is no longer a part of immigration requirements for an ARC. Wasn't that part of the updated visa regulations? Is it not in effect yet, or was I just imagining this?
I ask because my school just went in with my paperwork to immigration and was turned away because the medical paperwork said nothing about AIDS(positive or negative).
Is there any regulation I could point them to stop this already drawn out process of getting an ARC from dragging out any longer?
or am I just wrong in thinking this was one of the amendments to the visa process as of late? |

| I think the AIDS test is still necessary. The difference is that you will no longer be deported if you test positive. |

ok, dang.
My boss asked them to check for AIDS. The stupid hospital didn't check. So there's another few weeks before I can open my bank account.
(Yah I know, can open with passport, but I want a debit card, and money transfer service and stuff)
EDIT:
Radius, whats with the douchery?
Cause we all know, AIDS spreads homosexuality.. |

You can open an account with your passport now, and then go back to the bank once you get your ARC. that's what I did with KEB bank. |

I was being somewhat facetious, but mostly intentionally illogical.
I just had that ad in the newspaper in mind, you know the one that urged parents, if they loved their kids, not to let them watch that drama with the gay characters and possibly contract AIDS after it turns them gay... |
