A scar in chest x-ray at the time of medical , caused by anything is grounds for failure of medical and hence the rejection of visa. What you can do is tell the doctor in advance of the issue and get clearance certificate before hand. Chances are slim,but worth a try.

Hello gaur_7583
Kindly note that you are participating on quite an old thread. Also please avoid writing with your Caps Lock on, as it is considered as shouting on the Forum.
If during medical test, the report is positive to lung scar, your wife will be banned from having visa.

1) This is a 4 year old thread
2) Lung spots are always an issue in the GCC. No one can tell you if yours will create a problem or not. Either way, you will come through GAMCA medical in your home country. That is where the decision will be taken. Don't resign from current job until you have clear medical report
