Trump has removed this requirement. Heads up to all who thought this was necessary.

 

Good luck

No way in the world this would have happened any time soon under previous administration. I am susprised about this.

Good news for some people!

But there's also a lawsuit on COVID-19 shots for consular processing: https://www.brokentruth.tv/p/legal-battle-over-covid-19-vaccination?

Yet this lawsuit has not been decided.

Just for clarification, I meant 'good news' because less requirements means less things that can go wrong. I am not anti-vax or anything.... We just are past the point where Covid is no longer really dangerous to society, so seems good to remove the requirement. It's kinda like if there was a requirement for everyone having Dengue vaccine and they got rid of that requirement. This would be good because Dengue isn't really a huge health to concern US society even though it could be a pretty serious illness.

I know - and I also know in places where COVID shots aren't available local physicians waive that requirement but in some places that stick to it and won't mark waived...

Take a look at this... I shared this yesterday and this resource says consular processing is also included.

The vaccines for k1 are for the adjustment of status. Technically k1 applicants don’t have to take the vaccines until they apply for that. Therefore it should apply to k1 applicants at their medical before they come to the US.

I'm happy to hear this but also angry since the vaccination was forced on me to enter on CR-1.
