Longest time to wait to schedule interview after embassy instructions?

Hello,

 

We got embassy instruction on Jan 17th to schedule an interview. My fiancee is pregnant in her first trimester. She's afraid of taking the COVID vaccine and getting an X-ray during the medical exam. She eventually agreed to take the vaccine after 12 weeks of gestation but will not take the X-ray under any circumstances. She called the medical place, and they said if she doesn't want to take the X-ray, then don't bother coming to the medical exam at all. It looks like we'll have to wait until the baby is born before she can go to the interview. My question is, how long can we wait before it's too late to schedule an interview? Is 9 months too long?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requires that women who are pregnant and required to have a medical examination in connection with the issuance of a visa, and are examined in a country currently using the 2007 TB Technical Instructions must have a chest x-ray examination conducted. Pregnant women will have to provide the panel physician with consent to conduct the chest x-ray. For the health of the applicant and her unborn child, CDC instructs panel physicians and laboratories to provide abdominal and pelvic protection with double layer, wrap-around lead shields when they receive the chest

radiographs.

I showed my fiancee this but she won't budge. I don't know what else to do but to accept her opinion on not getting X-ray and wait until after baby is born to do the medical exam and interview. I don't know how far out we can wait to schedule an interview.

you should have an expiration date for the K1

you can write to embassy and ask for the time to be extended if u r not going for the March interview date

OR some embassy's will allow the interview and wait for medical exam to decide on the petition

 

Best to ask the embassy itself

and prepare to do CBRA for your child to get his/her US passport
