Does any one know if the covid vaccination is required to travel to USA? 

Starting October 01, 2021, all immigrant visa applicants must be vaccinated before their medical. Starting November 01, 2021, all visitors to the United States must be vaccinated unless they are a US Citizen at which point they must present a negative covid test.

The CDC requires the COVID-19 vaccine to be approved through either the World Health Organization (WHO) or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Here's a website that shows the current list of all WHO Approved vaccines:

It also provides a link to the specific WHO page that verifies it's approval.

Here's the press release straight from the White House website. You can also search this information through Google and you'll find multiple reliable websites with articles confirming this:

The press briefing may be long so just control F and search for "vaccinated".

No, you just need scanned copies of the original supporting documents + tax returns of last 2 or 3 years from both parties.

All the documents, that are personally belong to you must be original + make their copies as well. Such as

Your birth certificate

Your FRC, make sure you have this, they can delay your visa if you forgot FRC

Your Nikka nama from union council + from Nadra 

previous original divorce from union council and nadra,

your passport 

record and proof of you relationship, pictures, call log, chat whatever you have. (We saved all of call logs on word doc showing our phone numbers.) 

 

All the documents from your US spouse/fiancé, you just need copies, such as their naturalization, their US passport, their previous divorce, their birth certificated from US or Nadra, job letter from their job if he/she is working, 

affidavit of support with tax returns. If there is s co-signer, you do need proof of their residency in US, such as copy of their green card or naturalization and their passport and their 3 years tax returns.

 

If fiancé visa, must have receipt of paid IV fee from local bank.
