Why cant you make it? I would not be complaining. All u have to do is the medical.

As a heads-up - I know nothing about the process in DR, but...... Not meaning to add more stress to the situation....but just check out what will happen with your wife's medical if she is pregnant.

Having a pregnant woman go through the Medical for a US Visa is more common that one would think.

For the Vaccinations there is a blanket waiver since she won't be able to get them all due to her condition.

For the TB they are other ways to test. I know in the Philippines they will try the TB Skin Reaction Test on kids attempting to not have to x-ray them, I'm sure each country has their own procedure for this situation.

Thanks for this.

Like I said, I don't know DR-specifics, but I just wanted to raise the point so that the OP was aware that his wife being pregnant may change how things are done at the medical.

Australia requires the x-ray, we don't do the skin test for TB (at least I didn't and I haven't read of any other Australians having it done either), but I see that this is fairly common for the Phillipines.

In the Philippines adults generally do chest x-rays right off the bat because BCG Vaccine is commonly used and it makes the Skin reaction test unreliable (most test false positive).

It makes sense that the TB Test varies by country to account for things like this.


Must have info for bringing your Philippine wife/fiancee's child to the US

my Dominican husband got the TB skin test (no reaction) and the chest X-ray done. they gave him a copy of the chest X-ray to show at the POE if necessary...they didn't ask for it at the POE. maybe the chest X-ray is country specific? or maybe it's what doctor you choose?
