Happy Summer 2023! Hoping to hear what other people’s experience doing the waiver I601 for personal belief not doing the medical examination specifically Covid vaccine during Adjustment of Status here in the US. My sister came here on a J1 visa in March 2019 and had to extend as B2 when the pandemic first hit in March 2020. Took so long to process her B2 so she had lots of time spent with family and friends in the country while waiting and apparently met her now husband a US Citizen. They have been together for almost 2yrs now and just gotten married last December 2022. Couple months later filed their I-130, I485, I-765, etc. Before those even got filed, they had her husband’s tax returns amended due to some errors in the past so that took even longer process. She was supposed to mail I-485, I-131,I-765 by March 2023 so the I-693 Medical Examination signed by a civil surgeon was still temporarily waived then but tornado hit their town on the day she was to mail the documents and got mailed instead early April. Question is, she got an RFE letter asking for the I-693 medical. Would she still need to submit that but just do the physical exam or can she go ahead and file for the I-601 waiver? They are opposed to the vaccines since her husband’s side has a history of autism for taking those vaccines. Appreciate all of your inputs.

Hello, I submitted a petition for k1 visa for my fiancé from Romania. The case is in process but is taking longer than we expected. He tried to come to the USA with b1 visa but was denied, then tried to come with a work contract that was also denied, now while the k1 is processing he wants to go try again for b1 to come visit me and my parents. I’m just not sure if this is a good idea. Also, if it gets denied will there be any problem with the k1 interview ? Thx!

Me and my partner are looking for the best way to proceed. I'm from Italy, he's USC. Since the waiting time is almost the same, we're leaning to get married and proceed with a CR-1 visa, more than picking the K1 path. Our concern about this is the traveling while the I-130 is pending. What are the chances of a tourist visa getting denied because of this? Would this be a problem only with a pending I-130 or also with a pending I-129F? I know for this purpose there's the K3 visa, but the waiting time is the same so there's no point. We are willing to wait for the whole procedure to go through, but not being able to see each other in the meantime would be crazy. Thank you for the help!
