Vaccination Exemption

[ckelly93 1]

Hi there, I'm filling out my paperwork at the moment to adjust my status (married to a US citizen, have filed form i-130 and am following with i-495, travel authorization, EAD etc.) 

 

I'm trying to figure out which is the correct form I need for the vaccination waiver under the ground of religious belief or moral conviction. I keep being directed to i-601 which is a Waiver on Grounds of Inadmissibility. Since I've never been denied by USCIS I don't feel that I fall into the category of 'Inadmissible'?

There's also form i-690 which has a vaccine waiver but is only for those adjusting status under section 210 (agricultural worker) or 245A (legalization), none of which apply.

 

Can someone advise on this please?

I 601 is the proper form to request a vaccination waiver.

 

Good Luck!

 

You are Seeking a Waiver Under INA Section 212(g)(2)(C) of the Vaccination Requirement
You must file this application if you seek an exemption from the vaccination requirement because vaccinations are against your religious beliefs or moral convictions. You must establish with evidence that:
A. You are opposed to vaccinations in any form;
B. Your objection is based on religious beliefs or moral convictions; and
C. Your belief or conviction is sincere.

I-601 is correct

 

Failure to comply with vaccination requirements classifies you as inadmissible.  The waiver seeks to overcome that.

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification on this!
