    Hello,all
    I would like to ask you a question and will be very thankful if you give me advice.
    We are about to have DV lottery interview the next week,my wife is pregnant and we still haven't completed her medical exams.Actually everything is done except the X ray exam.We got some time to think about - are we gonna do it or no...Our obstetrician said we could do the exam but it's really up to us.We read a lot of information on internet and it's complicated someone says it's good to do the exam someone says it's not.MY QUESTION IS if we decide to don't have the chest X ray exam is it gonna be a problem during the interview and what's the procedure without X ray.The panel physician
    said it shouldn't be a problem.Anyways I will apriciate some help.
    Thank you in advance.

    Quote Quoting I am pregnant (or possibly pregnant) and I have a positive initial screening result. Do I still need a chest x-ray or will USCIS accept Form I-693 without an x-ray?
    USCIS will not accept a Form I-693 not completed in accordance with the Technical Instructions for the Examination of Aliens in the United States (Technical Instructions), including the TB Component of the Technical Instructions for the Examination of Aliens in the United States (May 2008), and its update.

    If you are pregnant (or possibly pregnant) and your initial TB test reveals that you are infected with TB, you are required to undergo a chest x-ray, in accordance with the TB Component of the Technical Instructions for the Medical Examination of Aliens in the United States (May 2008) and its update. However, you may choose to defer the chest x-ray until later in pregnancy or after delivery but the civil surgeon cannot sign the medical examination form until the radiograph is performed and interpreted, and treatment of Class A pulmonary TB disease, if needed, is completed. Therefore, if you choose to defer the chest x-ray, the civil surgeon cannot sign the Form I-693.
    Quote Quoting When is a chest x-ray required?
    Every applicant is required to undergo a chest x-ray if one of the following applies:

    • The applicant has a TST reaction of 5mm or greater of induration (including pregnant or possibly pregnant individuals)
    • The applicant has a positive IGRA result (including pregnant or possibly pregnant individuals)
    • The applicant was not required to undergo the TST or IGRA testing because of the exceptions specified in the TB Component of the Technical Instructions for the Medical Examination of Aliens in the United States (May 2008), and its update, applied to the applicant
    • The applicant has signs or symptoms of TB (regardless of the initial testing result)
    • The applicant is immunosuppressed (regardless of the initial testing result)
