VACCINATIONS

[Phoebe and Georgi 0]

Greetings to the VJ community,

I am writing to ask about the issue of vaccinations. Clearly this is a controversial topic and not one that I want to debate here. However, for personal and spiritual reasons, I am opposed to vaccinations.

A parent can obtain a religious excemption for his/her child to avoid the child being vaccinated in order to attend school: "A religious exemption is for anyone who has a sincere religious conflict with vaccination. A religious objection may be expressly implied by religious denomination or it may be based on an individual’s own moral/spiritual conscience to live God’s Word." http://www.know-vaccines.org/exemptionFAQ.html

Does anyone know if there is any way to obtain an exemption for the visa process? I know that this answer is probably no but I wanted to look into it.

2. Also, has anyone had problems with the photographs being really closed scrutinized. Georgie's photograph is not EXACTLY a 2 x 2, it is actually 1.9 x 2.1 inches when I measured it. Should I be concerned?

Thank you, Phoebe

A vaccination waiver is available for those opposed to them for various reason.

Search the USCIS site.

I think the passport photo should be fine.

You'll need to file a 601 waiver. You might find this site helpful: http://www.vaclib.org/legal/immigration.htm#immigration Scroll down to "Vaccination Requirements".

I think the passport photo will be okay. Neither mine nor my husbands were exactly 2 by 2 because they were cut slightly wrong by the store clerk , and we didn't have any problems with our petitions.

If such an exemption is available, it would need to be based on Georgie's spiritual conscience. You mention you are opposed. Is he? The questions are rhetorical, so no answer is needed here but the answers may well be important.
