Hi all, 

 

I've recently received the interview date and about to go through medical exam. I know i'm going to file for the religion vaccine waiver. 

 

My question is:, Is it ok that i file the waiver before the interview gets denied, or maybe just after the medical exam when i receive the RFE from the panel surgeon, or would i have to wait until after the interview and get a RFE to then submit the I601 waiver?

 

Thanks for helping!

You file once you have been refused a visa and offered to file a waiver.

 

You can have the package ready to go when this happens.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Another member on the forum filed the waiver before interview. And IIRC it was approved a year later. I’ll see if I can find the post.

An adjustment?

Hello,

 

I'm the petitioner in the process for my IR1 visa. And i'm going to apply for a religious vaccine waiver. I've got my medical exam done today. 

 

However, the civil surgeon in my country said that she has never encounter someone who is going to apply for a vaccine waiver here. Therefore, she's not sure what to do. She just leave a note stating that i will be applying for vaccine waiver later on. 

 

I'd like to ask if this is sufficient action from the civil surgeon as I also have a hard time finding someone who share the same experience in my country in any forums.

 

And would the next step be go through the interview at the consular office and also just let them know i'll be applying for a i601 vaccine waiver then submit that to the USCIS?

 

Thanks in advance for helping answer my question.

Seeing that your timeline is unecessarily blank, I am going to go by what you have said in your post (that you (since YOU went to the medical) are a CR1 visa APPLICANT and not a US petitioner) and have moved your post to the appropriate CR1 VISA forum as you've incorrectly posted it in the K visa AOS forum. You're likely to receive more help over there.

Your situation is quite rare though so you may need to direct your enquiry to the I601 forum instead. Let us know. 

 

In the meantime:

1.

:time:

 

2. You can read through the I601 process on the I601 forms webpage.

The flowchart link explains the process:

https://www.uscis.gov/i-601

PS. I601 processing times could add 2 extra years to your process.

 

Please do the above in numerical order. 🙂

You will go to the interview.

 

The IO will refuse your visa as you have an incomplete medical.

 

You will be given the opportunity of filing a waiver, the I 601.

 

Do you have a Lawyer, most people maybe be able to do a regular case but not put together a waiver package.

Here is the timeline for a vaccine waiver based on religion for an AOS applicant.

 

You will have to submit the documentation after the interview but you can start compiling your evidence and your letter now. 

Reach out to religious leaders and friends to write affidavits for you. 

If you think you are a good writer you can submit the waiver yourself. Or you might want to hire a lawyer to help you with the package.
