Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should first consult pulmonologist and get done CT SCAN of THORAX and Bronchoscopy and BAD (Bronchi Alveolar Lavage) analysis for TB. If both of these are negative than you can argue with visa authority that you are not having active lung infection. Any lung infection especially TB heals by1.  Fibrosis2.  CalcificationBoth of these appear as scar tissue on chest x-ray. So we need to prove that this is not due to active infection, but due to old infection. To prove this you need CT and Bronchoscopy.  So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
