US requires Covid Vaccines for Immigration

US immigration will now require immigrants to the USA to have proof of having taken Covid vaccinations. And if multiple vaccinations are required, to have taken the complete course.

UPDATES: October 1, 2021. Fiance Visa Applicants must have Covid Vaccinations PRIOR to K1 Fiance visa interviews, not only after arrival to USA.

Green Card /Adjustment of Status

Starting October 1, Applicants for immigration visas to the USA such as CR1 spouse and CR2 Dependent visas and including those who arrive on a K1 fiance visa who after marriage apply for adjustment of status, to get Green Cards, must all have approved Covid vaccinations. And if multiple vaccinations are required, all must be administered before the granting of Visa or Green Card.

Not only the Pfizer, Moderna Johnson & Johnson vaccinations approved for use in the USA will be acceptable but any covid vaccination that is approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization (WHO) will also be acceptable.

That means that alternative vaccines such as AstraZeneca, Covishield and Covaxin, Sputnik, Sinopharm and Sinovac, among others are currently acceptable to meet the vaccination requirement.

If the appropriate vaccines are not available, or not age-appropriate, such as for children under 12, or are medically inadvisable due to allergic reactions or other medical issues, an automatic waiver is granted. This will be handled by the Clinic providing consular medicals, or the USCIS civil surgeon in USA while confirming vaccinations.

If the application has moral or religious objections she or he will need to apply for waiver, which would be granted or denied at US immigration’s discretion
