I-485 medical: bad situation... please help!

[Priya_GC]

Hi!

I just learnt today that an RFE has been generated on my case! My husband was approved 3 weeks ago. Most probably the RFE is because I was pregnant when we submitted our application and had not taken TB Skin Test or X-Ray.

The problem is - I am pregnant again... I am in the very early stages of the FIRST trimester.

My question is:

1. Can I do the TB Skin Test? Ideally, I would like to avoid it because I am very early in pregnancy and the fetus is really small. Has anyone done it?


And the more IMPORTANT question:
2. Instead of X-Ray method of testing, can I just do "SPUTUM Smear & Cultures" testing? I read that this method is as effective as X-Ray and gives a definitive answer. Has anyone or anyone you know, done this test for I-485?


Please let me know... I will keep you all posted on the RFE.

Thanks,
Priya

TB Skin Test[PPD] can be done even if u r pregnant. You cannot have chest x-ray as u r pregnant. I'm not aware of SPUTUM Smear & Cultures, check with doctor or check on CDC website.
