The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) established Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) to support Ukrainians displaced by the current conflict.
One of the requirements for U4U beneficiaries is to complete medical screening for TB and to get a TB blood test (IGRA) within 90 days of arrival.
For more information about getting these services through Arlington County Public Health Division, visit our Uniting for Ukraine website.
The United States has announced processes through which nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and their immediate family members, may request to come to the U.S. All beneficiaries two years of age or older must complete a medical screening for TB, including an IGRA test, within 90 days of arrival in the U.S. While not required, a screening and TST test are encouraged for children younger than two years old.
