Medical at St. Luke's Concern

[RoseAndDaniel 0]

Rose and I were very excited to find out a couple of days ago that she is pregnant. However, I am concerned about her upcoming medical exam at St. Luke's. I have read many posts that say she may be exempted from the x-rays but I am actually more concerned about the immunization requirements. From what I have gathered, she is not required to have her immunization completed before she travels to the USA, but she may be required to have them before she can file for AOS.

As near as we can tell, she is only 5 weeks pregnant.

Her medical and interview will take place in early August.

Our hope is to have her in the USA for our wedding by early October.

She would be filing for AOS in November.

If everything goes well, she should be due in late February or early March of 2011.

She has an Ob/Gyn that will write a letter stating the progress of her pregnancy and requesting her exemption from the x-ray and immunizations.

I would appreciate any advice or recommendations from past experiences with similar situations.

Salamat,

Daniel

According to the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS), chest X-rays for pregnant women are not dangerous if taken with the proper shielding.
