Wife's Greencard and Vaccine Waiver Approved!!

[Mannydude22 47]

Last month they approved her vaccination waiver due to religious belief and her greencard got approved!

 

The I-601 took about a year to get approved. We submitted the i-485 and i-601 together to the same location. No RFE either!!

 

All thanks to this VJ member soscolin who posted on here over 10 years ago. he recommended Alan Philips the vaccine lawyer.

scroll down to see his post.

 

I paid Alan $500 and he helped my wife to write a good letter and he also recommend that we get 3 support letters from people you know (family members or friends). Alan is a kind man and he spent so much time on us doign back and forth emails, inorder to strengthen my wife's letter.

 

I paid $900 for the I-601 too. So $1,400 total, WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY.

 

Hell, i would have spent tens of thousands if I had to, so my wife wouldnt have to take the vaccine. Her health is more important than money.

 

So all of those trolls or deniers who said "it would never get approved", you were all wrong.. People who believe in something will NEVER give up. Vaccine waivers do get approved, but people dont post on here, because we will get harassed...

Life is full of choices....and consequences for those choices.  Good luck.

It is clear that you want to provoke people here, especially with that last sentence, so I will keep it short.

To live in society we need a balance between personal freedom and common good. We need a minimum of trust in institutions and experts and we need to have empathy and compassion. Otherwise society will just crumble. 

The only thing I can tell you, without sarcasm, is that you try to understand the people that disagree with you and see where they are coming from.

 

Lastly, you say you got a religion exemption but you say the reason for not taking the vaccine is "My wife's health is more important than any amount of money". So basically you are admitting that you just used religious exemption for what you consider to be a health concern. This is very disrespectful for people that actually value their religious freedom and practices. 

 

Good luck in life!

In Christianity, vaccines are considered "unclean". Since they use aborted fetus and other unclean ingredients. So yes, it's does affect one's health... We never lied about anything.

The provision of having the vaccine waiver option is to get approved for the given legit reasons. Not sure what's the big deal about it. Be happy.

Nobody here said they never get approved. The point was that you have to prove your claims to USCIS and that’s not always easy. That’s why you had to hire a lawyer. The reason people don’t report here is probably because they don’t have extra $1400 laying around to pay for that and thus, don’t make a good case without a lawyer and it gets denied.

I am not sure how anybody here could comment on your case, you joined and hour ago and have posted twice.

 

I certainly have seen waivers approved, more commonly I have seen people get upset when they realise how much it is going to cost and how long it will take and then they disappear, take that for what it is worth.

I hear this all the time. People will claim they dont have money for emergencies, yet they have a brand new $1,000 iphone 13 or Android, ipad, iwatch and air pods.... On top of that, they drive brand new cars...

 

I have plenty of friends who are all materialistic, yet they all complain when they cant make rent... I tell them to stop buying stuff you dont need, like the things i mentioned above, but they all give me the deer in the headlights look...

 

some people know how to set priorities, and others dont...

Read it again slowly. Nowhere in that sentence does it say “it would never get approved” as you said in your fist post. You know that post is 11 years old right? VJ was fairly new.

Perhaps they do not want to spend an extra year apart?

 

Anyway when they do not come back we are guessing what happened.

My wife came here on a k1 visa. Vaccines arent required for K1. They are only required during AOS.

 

Thats why we went the K1 route and not CR1. We spent the time in the US together while her AOS and vaccine waiver got approved.

The K1 is obviously not a common choice and its many issues have only got worse over the last 11 years.

 

I can think of a few unusual situations where a K1 could be the better bet, first time I have ever come across this. Generally I would avoid the US Civil Surgeon need due to extra cost and hassle but I can see the reason here.

The K-1 medical would still be properly completed so I-693 would not be needed; i.e. the "K Visa applicant electing not to be vaccinated at this examination" box on DS-3025. https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/panel-physicians/vaccinations.html "refugees and K visa applicants are not required to receive vaccines before traveling to the United States" Also see: "K or V Nonimmigrants Applying for Adjustment" https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-b-chapter-3

 

But instead of Civil Surgeon costs it would be the Form I-601 fee ($930).
