Religious waiver to vaccinations (i-601) + advance parole document (i-131)

[holearbi 0]

Has any of you (who has submitted the AOS application from within the US) applied for the religious waiver to vaccinations (i-601) and for the advance parole document (i-131) at the same time?

The i-131 instructions explicitly say that:

 

Quote

As an applicant for admission, you will be subject to inspection at a port-of-entry, and you may not be admitted if you are found to be inadmissible under any applicable provision of INA section 212(a) or 235 or any other provision of U.S. law regarding denial of admission to the United States.

 

My interpretation of the above text is that if an applicant w/o vaccinations gets the advance parole document (aka travel document) after submitting the full AOS package (including both i-131 and i-601), they will still not be able to travel and come back because at the port-of-entry inspection they will be found inadmissible. Is this interpretation correct? Does anyone have experience with this?

I cannot restrain myself from saying this: no major religion opposes vaccines.

Want to be on the safe side? Do not travel outside the US until you are a USC, Only USCs are guaranteed entry.

Here is a successful vaccine waiver on religious grounds that may be helpful.

 

Good Luck!
