Urgent- Security Scanner US embassy in Toronto

[PregnantApplicant]

Hello,

I am pregnant and have a US immigration visa interview at US embassy located in Toronto.

do they have full body scanner for security check at the embassy ?

Is passing through the scanner in US embassy in Toronto safe for pregnant women ? Is there radiation ?

Canadian airports dont yse xrays in these scanners but I do not know if American embassy in Canada uses xrays in their security check scanners.
“The scanning systems currently used in Canada are millimetre-wave scanners, which do not emit x-rays. The millimetre-wave body scanner works by projecting low-level millimetre-wave, radio-frequency (RF) energy above and around the passenger's body.”

There is no info on US websites about ehat scanners they use in their embassies. There is no number to call and check on US embassy website.

please help.

I think you would be better off posting to a US immigration forum. I went there a few years ago and had to walk through a scanner but I have no idea what kind of scanner it was.

There's probably a security officer outside the security check. Perhaps you can ask them.
