Has anyone had success using an I-601 form for vaccination reasons?

[Mupp N Moo 1]

My Fiance does not want to be vaccinated, as he believes that they have unsafe elements. We're planning on filing a I-601 waiver after we're married. Has anyone else know of using an I-601 successfully?

The waiver is mentioned here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3384cc5222ff5210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=6abe6d26d17df110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD has he ever received any vaccinations?

Waiver is discussed here in the rules: http://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/AFM/HTML/AFM/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-18922/0-0-0-18926.html

Vaccination is pretty important, for a waiver i imagine that it would be for a far more important issue than just the thought of thinking its unsafe elements. Vaccination is not only for his safety but the safety of other people around him, and being an adult and health at that the waiver consideration can be tricky- anyway i wish you best of luck.

Vaccinations are extremely important to the health of a community, so I urge you to reconsider.

However, this page lists about what basis a waiver can be obtained: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3384cc5222ff5210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=6abe6d26d17df110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD

"In this case, a waiver may be available to you, but only under the following circumstances:

You are opposed to vaccinations in any form that is, you cannot obtain a waiver based on an objection only as to one vaccination

Your objection must be based on religious beliefs or moral convictions; and

The religious or moral beliefs must be sincere."

So, my read of that is believing them to have "unsafe elements" is neither a moral nor religious reason (it's not being willing to trust science) so you won't get the waiver.
