You must use the I-601 to file a vaccination waiver, which is what I am doing, and have been communicating with simoncini03, which has been a big help

Yes, exactly, you first have to get the visa denied before you send off the waiver.

For me...ughh I don't remember exactly but I would say not more than 10 days. After you go to the interview you are supposed to get your visa within 10 days ( at least in Germany) anyways, so for me i got my denial within those 10 days lol.

Thank you very much for your help!

We have the same issue regarding to the vaccine waiver during our immigration application.

Because we refuse any vaccine due to our religious belief.

We just got a Ref letter from officer and show we need file I601 form.

I am a little bit confused about the hardship item on that form.

Because we are applying vaccine waiver, is it OK to leave that part blank?

Thanks for any help.

Hello digest,

We left that blank and only completed the part that has to do with the vaccine waiver. Like simoncini03 earlier post - we included supporting documents for why we applied for the waiver.

Good luck.

BothlaleLindani,

Thank you so much for such a quick reply.

Very helpful.

You use the I 601 form (current) and fill out pertinent parts that applies to vaccine waiver/reason etc

then you put NA where that which does not apply to you & make sure form is signed & dated

Thank you for the reply.

I also noticed there is Statement from applicant(Discretion) part to explain why I believe my application should be approved as a matter of discretion.

Is that necessary for my vaccine waiver case?

Thanks again.

Got the answer from I601 instruction. This is required.

Thanks everyone.

I found this out in my case estatus Anyone know what it means?

On October 15, 2015, your inquiry about a notice that you did not receive, referral number SRxxxxxxxxxxxNSC, was completed.

• On October 15, 2015, we sent a response to your inquiry about a notice that you did not receive, referral number SRxxxxxxxxxxxNsc

• 
  

  On October 9, 2015, your inquiry about a notice that you did not receive, referral number SRxxxxxxxxxxxNSC, was assigned to an officer for response.

Hello akylis,

Probably they have resent a notice to you.

[simoncini03 22]

Sounds like an officer is taking care of your inquiry concerning that missing notice. Is this a status for a waiver?

Hi guys,

I'm applying for a K1 fiance visa and for a vaccine waiver. I have to go for the medical next week. What do I tell the doctor? Are they gonna deny us in the K1 fiance interview? And then I apply for the i601 waiver? How long did it take for all of you to get the visa after the first interview? I heard they do a second interview to see if your beliefs are sincere.

We are planning to apply for vaccination waiver for our son due to medical reasons. Will that fall in as "moral"? There is no medical option for not taking vaccination. ALso can you apply for waiver before consular processing time has come? Thanks in advance for your response.

The waiver costs $585 each! But it's for moral & religious beliefs. A medical waiver does not require a USCIS waiver but a waiver from your doctor, which if in Manila would probably have to be from St Lukes, which will then allow you a completed medical report for the interview

For the US Embassy Manila, you go to your medical, and then at the interview they will deny your VISA based on non compliance, and from there you have an option to go back and get the missing shots, or apply for a waiver...

It can take 4-6 months to get a approval/denial on the waiver, which even if you are doing DCF, can really delay getting your VISA...

A 2nd interview is not needed...
