Vaccination Requirments

[PhiLandShiR 18]

Good Morning (Afternoon) everyone.

It is so nice to have this site for help and assistance. Without it I would be pretty much lost. Thank you everyone for all your posts!

I would like to know when the vaccinations are absolutely required. I have a friend who just got to the US from the Phillipines and we chat from time to time. She is SOOOOOOooooooo very happy with her new husband and he is a great guy. A really luck SOB in fact cause she is a really sweet gal. But I digress...

On our last chat she spoke about getting all the vaccinations for herself and her kids. With all the costs of getting her here, they are running a bit short of cash and were going to delay getting all the shots for everyone.

She thinks they cannot file the Change of Status until all the shots are given and are going to delay doing so. I thought a Change of Status was required...

I was under the impression that all vaccinations were required before she could apply for citizenship, not Change of Status... AND that Change of Status was mandated within the 90 day time frame.

She went through hell to get here and I don't want to see something go wrong. She said they called immigrations and were told as long as they were married its ok... I am not sure I would accept that...

Does anyone know the facts on this??

Thanks for everything and to everyone!

Vaccination Requirements

United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the vaccination requirements. See IV Vaccination Requirements for the list of required vaccinations and additional information.

As a fiancé(e), you are not required to fulfill this requirement at the time of your medical examination for a fiancé(e) visa. However, you may want to do so. These vaccinations are required when you adjust status following your marriage.

Ok, I now understand that they are required before a Change of Status. Last question is: Is the CoS required within the 90 day window?

It's not required to AOS before the I-94 expires ( 90 days), but it's best to do so as soon as possible.
