Pregnancy Medical Tests

[neelmanish]

My wife is pregnant and we are planning to file her papers. Is it allright to submit all forms without medical for now, and then submit medical results when there is a RFE? My wife has been advised rest, hence I am wondering if we can at least get an EAD for her now and then when there is a RFE, submit the required medical forms (hopefully 3 months away). Also, do not want to subject her to medical tests other than necessary for now.

For pregnant mothers, do they give vaccines and TB skin test, or that is skipped till after the delivery. Thanks for any replies.

RFE can delay EAD and you will definitely get an RFE for not submitting medical. If she is pregnant and advised to take rest, just wondering the need for an EAD here. You can save some $$$ there

What if I am pregnant?

If you are pregnant, you are required to have a medical exam, but some parts of it may be postponed until after delivery of your baby, depending on the circumstances of your case. If you have any concerns, you should discuss them with your family doctor before the medical exam, with the Civil Surgeon, or with the Panel Physician.
