Family member coming to the state

Hello,

 

I have a question, is it required now for every non immigrant visa applicant to be fully vaccinated to enter the states?.

B1/B2 yes.  
 

For other non immigrant visas the answer is more nuanced.

Yes, and it makes having our friends from Russia come to visit us practically impossible.  

 

Only vaccine available in Russia is the Sputnik vaccine which is not recognized for entry into the US.

 

Likewise Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J vaccines are not recognized in Russia for the QR codes to enter most public places.

B1/B2 visitors who do not have a covid vaccine can enter the US via land or sea.

 

Illegal immigrants who test positive for covid are bused to cities in the US. 😠

It does not make any sense for non immigrant visa applicants to be vaccinated to enter the states, while the immigrants can enter it whether they are vaccinated or not, which makes it harders for those who have families wants to visit them here In the state. This is sucks.😪
