I wanted to ask if anyone's successfully gotten a vaccine waiver due to religious conviction for their CR1 Visa, or know for certain what this process looks like. (And if it interferes with a Visa approval and admissability to the country or not.)

 

A little info about me: I'm a CR1 spouse Visa applicant from Canada, currently living in Canada apart from my American husband. I'm currently waiting on an interview date/decision on our submited forms/fees/&documents via ceac. I am pregnant. And I happen to already have had all CDC required vaccines in the past on record, but now that it's flu season, I understand the flu vaccine will be required of me also. 

 

Appreciate the help. thanks.

Waiver will take time - if you have received all other vaccines, you might want to wait until the end of the flu season before doing your medical/booking your interview.

 

To answer your question, no, never heard of an approved waiver.  Going to be hard to argue, especially if you have received all the other vaccines.

You'll only need the flu shot if your medical is done during flu season. I was pregnant at my medical and I didn't need it because it wasn't yet flu season. I'm not sure if you can be exempt from it.
