hello VJ friends, i am a filipino and my husband is an american, i am also a May filer and still waiting for the NOA2's approval.. i am in a days delayed of my menstruation.. and just right now i did check if i am pregnant or not and i am really positive. my husband went back to Philippines last July 20 till August 3, we both agreed that as of the moment if possible, we shouldnt have a baby. and now this already happens, i just wonder if getting pregnant during the paper processing could lead a problem specially in my medical exams, i shouldnt undergone xrays and some stuff that has a radiation? pls help me on this.. i want to stay and live with my husband... and being far from his really difficult for me...

thank you in advance for all your replies :)

Being pregnant will not cause any problems with the immigration process itself. If the baby comes before the interview, your husband will have to file a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) so the baby can be issued a US passport.

Don't worry about the exam. As long as you inform them you are pregnant, they will make the necessary adjustments to protect your baby - like lead apron to protect against radiation, some vaccines may NOT be given at this time.

If you are pregnant at the time of your interview, you don't need to do anything, just go to your interview, that's all.

You won't have any problem with your medical either. St. Lukes will wrap your baby in a lead apron while they take your chest x-ray.

Our case is a bit different than yours only becausef we are applying for K1 visa everything else should apply. My finance is also pregnant (6 months now) and she went to get her physical last week. They used a lead blanket to protect the baby when having X-rays and she had to sign a waiver because she couldnt have some shots (because the pregnancy) but she might get them after the baby is born when she is in USA. One thing we did was I sent her a notarized letter stating that I was aware of the pregnancy and aknoleging that I am the father. This letter has to be the original no copies. I don't know if you will need that since you are already married.

As you can see there is no problem at all. The only inconvenience is having to travel or move while pregnant and if you want to have your baby born in USA it will be a race against the clock but it looks like you have plenty of time to spare compared to us that we are running out of time quick but we are fighting the odds and we are still planning to have our baby born in USA God whiling.

Good luck, don't worry too much and enjoy your pregnancy. Best thing you can do is inform yourself Keep on asking questions. There are plenty of good people that will help you.

Regards.
