212 (g) (2) (B) - vaccine requirements for crossing border

[gyongyhaju 1]

Hello

 

My wife recently received her IR-1 visa in the mail. On the visa is the annotation 212 (g) (2) (B), IV DOCS IN CCD. From what I've read, this is likely due to the fact that she did not have vaccination records available at the time of the medical exam, so the doctor have her the first dose of the vaccine series that she needed.

 

My question is this: When she crosses the border, more than a month will have passed from the time of the medical exam. Will she need to get the next vaccine of each series before crossing the border, or is it okay to get the rest of the vaccines in the USA?

 

Thank you.

With an immigrant visa on hand, your wife will have no further vaccination requirements as far as US immigration is concerned.  CBP will not require an IR1 visa holder to get vaccinated, regardless of any visa annotation.  Of course, your wife may still choose to get her booster or 2nd shots for health reasons after entering the US, even if not required for her immigration record.
