I wonder if the USCIS waiver will be effective if all travelers into or out of the US are required to have been vaccinated in the near future?  They are even discussing vaccine requirements for domestic air travel.  I don't think a moral objection is the same as a medical exemption.  Like I said, there are consequences to every choice we make.

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

 

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...

It seems to me you’re trolling. I have taken the vaccine BY choice although I don’t support the vaccine mandate. However I encourage everyone I know to take the vaccine and will never discourage anyone from doing so.

 

All the best.

...and that's why you want her to end up on a ventilator if she ends up getting COVID?

Someone my wife knows here and who I've met a few times was anti-vax, anti-mask and anti-common sense. COVID was a hoax, masks were evil, etc.

Fast forward to about a month ago, her 11 year old just got out of the hospital after not being able to eat anything for weeks and her husband is stuck to a ventilator until at least New Year's while she's stuck at home taking care of their three kids. Considering that she didn't have a job to begin with, they had to go to Indiegogo, on which their dumb campaign is currently stuck at 120 dollars out of the 20000 they set as a goal. At least she'll get half a week of groceries out of that, I guess.

And that's not even taking into consideration making others sick, but if you cared about that you wouldn't have requested the waiver in the first place.

Evangelicals don't like the pope, they prefer some megachurch leader who uses their donations for private jets over someone who actually follows the Bible.
 

Let’s stay on topic. I am a huge fan of Pope Francis and five years ago actually traveled to the Vatican to enjoy his church service however the Catholic Church historically has been more corrupt and anti science than the worst evangelical we have. You may want to research that. Finally it is debatable whether the Pope and Catholic Church follows the Bible.
 

Let’s not go down that road because there’s a lot of live ammunition to direct at the Catholic Church. I am not an evangelical however we shouldn’t stereotype, there are millions of vaccinated evangelicals etc.

How did she enter on a K1 without doing a medical exam in her country? That medical requires certain vaccines. You said the waiver took a year to process for the adjustment of status. So what did she do to bypass the vaccines for the K1 medical because the USCIS waiver needs to be approved beforehand.

Well said. ❤️

 

I'm an evangelical, and I haven't gotten the Covid vaccine yet. Not due to any religious concerns, though, but because I'm worried about possible side effects of the vaccine. It might very well be me being paranoid about it all, and I'm still considering getting the vaccine since Covid is a very real thing. But that's where I'm at. Just speaking of stereotypes. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean that's the reason I'm still not vaccinated.

The K-1 medical doesn't require vaccines:

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 INA 212(a)(1)(A)(ii): "Any alien- except as provided in subparagraph (C), who seeks admission as an immigrant, or who seeks adjustment of status to the status of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, and who has failed to present documentation of having received vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases, which shall include at least the following diseases: mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, pertussis, influenza type B and hepatitis B, and any other vaccinations against vaccine-preventable diseases recommended by the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, is inadmissible."

The I-601 was sent-in at the same time as Form I-485: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-601instr.pdf "Form I-601 Waivers Filed with Adjustment of Status Applications"
