Waiver for Vaccinations

[visahelp 0]

has anyone (successfully) filed a waiver to avoid the vaccinations?

Waivers

The law allows an alien to apply for a waiver if: (A) The alien later receives the vaccines that were initially missing during the examination; (B) The panel physician or civil surgeon determines that administering the vaccine(s) would not be medically appropriate; or © Compliance with the vaccination requirement would be contrary to the alien's religious beliefs or moral convictions. To date, INS regulations implementing this final waiver ground have yet to be published.

the issue for us: vaccination requirement would be contrary to the alien's religious beliefs or moral convictions.

If this is in reference to a K-1 visa you can hold on getting them in the foreign country and get them in the USA. Ther ar not required for the K-1 visa, but they are needed to adjust status.
