Always be prepared for last min curveballs. appointed the kids to have their rt-pcr and they just called to say they dont have anymore, only NAAT test. From what I read on EHAS FAQ page, other FDA/EUA approved tests are ok within 24 hrs of departure.

Has anyone had issues w the NAAT? Im emailing them now and will report back.

All PCR tests are NAAT tests, they will be fine and their results accepted!!!

More info needed... Don't panic, still plenty of time. First thing, resubmit application immediately, chances are that you will get a different reviewer and it will be approved! What was reason for denial? Here to help

Antigen within 24 hours should have been accepted if vaxxed.....PCR within 48 hours needed if not...can't say resubmit without status known

No clue why they ran an antigen test if you signed up for a RT-PCR (NAAT)

She was the unvaxxed one.

of note: EHAS FAQ does state if rt-PCR wasn't possible, EUA.FDA antigen test was ok. That said, idiots @ clinic ran out of rt- PCRs last night(mind you we scheduled this Monday), told us to come in this AM for NAAT (so it would be within 24hr window) and then new clown says NAAT is not rt-PCR but antigen was better.

EHAS denied us around 1.5 hrs ago, wifey and child run back again pleading w a different clinic for rt-PCR. Just got the results & now just resubmitted neg rt-PCR.

Also of note, the vaxxed but not boosted kid was approved w the same Ag test.

Anddd ehas gave us the go 2 hrs after the second test.

I did email them that their faqs leave a lot to be desired.

And wait for this whole Covid narrative to go away.
