Hi all, CR1 visa holder in UK here. Travelling in a couple of weeks to enter the US on my visa and due to fly into Boston. A couple of questions:

As the coronavirus blanket ban is still in place until November, do I need to take proof of my exemption alongside my visa (marriage cert and copy of husband's passport), or is my visa enough on its own?
Also, in proving covid vaccination, is the little NHS card with the dosage stickers on its own sufficient, or do I need to take my full vaccination record and/or the signed medical vaccination record they gave me at the medical? 

Is it wise to take any other documents from the application process (DS260 confirmation page, for example?) to ease customs and border protection or is it literally just my passport with the visa in? Curious to hear how other new arrivals did it!

Thanks all :)

The airline is responsible to check your required travel documents before allow you to board for the flight. They required from us a 72 hours covid-19 test, nothing else. Check with your airline.

Your visa foil in your passport is all you need plus the covid test within three days of flying. Have the certificate and passport copy handy just in case as when I flew in August, the airline person checking me in asked me about marriage certificates etc because they weren't familiar with the CR1 visa. They phoned Homeland to ok my boarding, and the agent didn't even give them a chance to go into a big explanation. They heard CR1 and said, "Approved to board" and hung up. The agent was a little shooketh :D.
