Waiting for other people with experience.
I-130 is the petition, like I-140 for employment base. You don’t need medical exam unless you adjust status concurrently (I-485), if so, you need medical exam. Am I right folks?
The poster is an au pair on a J-1 visa that is apparently not subject to HRR. I assume you are still IN STATUS?
In that case, you may be eligible to apply for your I-130 and I-485 concurrently, as you are married to a US citizen. So MMED is correct. If you are only applying for the I-130 petition now, you don't need the medical exam, etc. But if you are also applying to adjust status (I-485), then you do need the medical exam, the biographic sheet, the affidavit of support, etc.
