2 weeks pregnant and K1 visa medical and interview is on the next month

[Lorn 42]

Hi everyone!

I need your inputs here.

I'm 2 weeks pregnant with my US petitioner and also I have a scheduled medical and interview a month from now in Manila US embassy.

Is there possibility of denied visa?

How about vaccinations?

Thanks for your help would appreciate it!

Pregnancy is not a reason for denial..

 

As for vaccinations, during your medical exam they will administer any that are required and appropriate for your condition.  Vaccinations are a part of the exam fee at SLEC

Only ones I have seen denied due to pregnancy are ones where the dates the petitioner visited and the gestation of pregnancy are way off. 

 

Any vaccinations you can’t have during pregnancy the doctor will put us counter indicated at the moment - you will need to have them do be in the us and a new immunizations record written up by a USCIS doctor in the states for your adjustment of status and please be advised this is a pain to get sorted. People have found it hard to get this done without doing a new medical. 

 

Note you still have to get the X-ray done, they will give you an apron to put over your belly but to continue to the medical and therefore the visa is a personal decision on if you are comfortable doing this.  

 

Also when discussing the pregnancy dating with the medical you need to count from your last period before conceiving - so saying 2 weeks pregnant is just the day you ovulated and not even pregnant yet. If you are two weeks past when your period was due but instead you got a positive test then you are counted as six weeks pregnant.

Thank you I mean my ultrasound is 2 weeks and 4 days.

Thank you so much for your help.

I was worried about this medical thing that would affect my visa.

I hope everything will be smooth.

I see because I read one thread that his fiancee has problems in St Lukes cause the doctors will not conduct x Ray. 

[payxibka 10,045]

From St Lukes website

 

1. All visa applicants 15 years old and above, male or female, are required to have chest x-ray to immigrate. Pregnant women will have proper shielding as a precautionary measure of radiation hazards. Pregnant applicants may have an option to defer medical examination including chest x-ray until delivery.

 

If you defer the x-ray then it will delay the process

They will conduct the X-ray but a lot of women don’t want to do that when pregnant even with the lead apron so they decide not to continue with the visa rather than being denied.

?!? Even with ultrasound they should be telling you the number of weeks from last period not since conception or from period due date. The only reason I bring this up is due to sometimes at interview being asked how many weeks you are and when was last time your fiancé visited - don’t want to accidentally give the wrong impression.

Oh so did I, just wanted to reassure her that if she hears tales of them being rejected it wouldn’t be for the pregnancy itself.

I see thanks for that info. I thought I should base it on the ultrasound results
