Vaccinations

[Milz713 0]

Hello all, My wife arrived here last July and we were married in Sept so I am now trying to get the AOS taken care of, when she was in Russia at her medical she did not complete the vaccinations because we are trying to have a baby and they said she shouldnt be pregnant and get the vaccinations. On the DS-3025 they checked Applicant will request a individual waiver based on religious or moral convictions. Well she isint pregnant yet and she still refuses to get the vaccinations because she is afraid if she will not be able to get pregnant and she will have to have a operation to remove a cyst from her uterus it will cause more problems. I am not sure what to do here.

If she didn't get vaccination in Russia, she should get it in the US. That is part of the medical exam. Plus, the authorized doctors here will need to transcribe her vaccination record.

Q. What will happen if I refuse to receive one or all of the required vaccines?
A. Tell the civil surgeon if you do not wish to receive the required vaccines or a particular vaccine. You should also tell the civil surgeon the reason you do not wish to receive the vaccine(s). 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.

The form used to apply for a waiver depends on the adjustment category under which you are seeking legal permanent residence status. For example, refugees and asylees seeking adjustment of status should file Form I-602, Application by Refugee for Waiver of Grounds of Excludability. Individuals seeking adjustment of status as a result of an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, or Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, would file Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility.
