Re establish domicile and Medical exams expire

[Draco 0]

Hello,

In October 29th 2013 we got denied for my IV in Bogota, Colombia. The CO handed me the 221g sheet with the necessary steps to send the passport back to the embassy and documentation regarding the issue.

Thanks to these forums we have a clear idea now of the steps we need to take to re-establish domicile, but we just realized there is another big problem that we aren't sure how to solve. In Bogota, the medical exams (specifically, the chest x-rays that are done to show you don`t have tuberculosis) expire in 6 months. So, when we turn in our new documents to prove that we are establishing domicile, when they approve us, the visa they give me will expire NOT in 6 months, but in however much time is left until the medical exams expire. So, for example, since I did my medical exams in the end of October, and if we get our domicile accepted in late January, then they would give me a visa that I had to use within 3 months since there would only be 3 months left until my medical exams expired (they will expire April 25).

This is a huge problem for us because my wife is pregnant and the baby will be born in April. We really need to be able to leave AFTER the baby is born and we are able to get his US passport through the Bogota embassy (when my daughter was born, this took a couple of months, plus my wife has to have a cesarian so she wont be able to travel for a few weeks).

Is there anything we can do? Is it possible to re-do the medical exams so that they give us the visa with a later expiration date? Is there anything we can turn in to show that for medical reasons my wife needs to stay here longer? We are afraid if we tell this information to the embassy they will just deny us again. We haven`t been able to really get any information from the embassy. When we call, the people that answer the phone don`t really know anything and when we send emails we get pre-prepared form type information sent back to us.

Any information you know would be really helpful. My wife and I are really worried and don`t know what to do. Thank you.
