Guys & Gals!

My wife is pregnant right now and we need to do the medical examination for I-485. My question is - do they do the initial TB skin test, if someone is pregnant? Has anybody gone through the same situation?

Thanks,

I am in the same situation as you are but it so happens that my wife had the BCG immunization before. We have applied for a tuberculin test waiver from the INS based on the above guidelines. Let's see what happens...
 
waiting_0102,

Thanks for the reply... it was very helpful.

1. Why did you choose to have the INS waiver?
2. Did they perform the initial skin test?
3. How do you apply for INS waiver and how long does it take?

Can you send me your email, since I may have some questions regarding this for you...

Thanks again for the reply,
SK...
