This is an immigration forum, not a religious or (anti) vaccination forum and the experienced members here have a lot of knowledge about immigration so this is why they are here. 
 

The bottom line is that if you refuse vaccinations based on your religious or personal beliefs, it should not be very difficult to explain that part when you file for the waiver. 
 

Do you have a Plan B in case the waiver doesn’t get approved? 

Correct.  And it was never my intention to bring opinion on any of the above, unlike others.  Working on a plan B.

I am not bashing either, just trying to help but it looks like you’re not really interested in getting answers. 

At this point, on the whole, I have been met with extreme negativity.  At least one person, not you, who wants to push their vax agenda on me.  Meanwhile, I've been talking to other sources who have some good solutions. Makes me wonder with that negativity how these people managed to migrate in the first place.  Also, if they hate religion and people who want to choose what goes in their body that badly, what are they doing on this forum.

Out of all the religions represented in this community, it is Christians that post the most on this topic.  (And I am a Christian myself, so I am not trying to alienate you).  There is nothing against taking vaccines in the Christian religion.  it is a self-generated fear based on misinformation and social media hype. If you don't want to retake childhood vaccines, see if the Dr. will accept a titre test.  If it is the COVID vaccine you are worried about.... again there was a lot of hype about this.  If you don't want to take the vaccines, you can't immigrate, plain and simple.  

Nice try.

You say “there were no vaccines when the bible was written”, so that makes me wonder which part of the bible made people decide that they are against vaccines. That would be part that you can refer to if you want to apply for the waiver. 
 

 

I'm not interested in bashing anyone's Religion. It was merely a point of example.

To sound just a tiny bit crass, I would think that if you have religious objections to getting a vaccine you would have no problems whatsoever articulating on what grounds you object, including ample citations. But that's just me...

What are your intentions, with your comment?

Hi,

I just wondered what it takes to get a religious exemption, in terms of what kind of religious text is accepted.  Obviously there were no vaccines when the bible was written, so I'm wondering what text would be acceptable?

Also, what are the chances of an exemption?  Are they common?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks all!

Hi,

I'm thinking about using an Attorney for my Adjustment of Status, as my application is way late, and there are a few other possible complications. I have the choice of a few that are at the other end of the country(I'm in Washington state), or getting one that is local. I've heard that a Distant Attorney would be tricky as it would cost too much to fly them to my area. Is it often that you need an attorney to be there in your area? Has anyone suffered as a result of having a distant attorney?

What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm English, just got married to my American wife recently.

Just need to know a few things. I'm sending i-130 and i-485(and all the other forms). Do I need to send separate checks/cheques for these, or is one check for $1490 ok?

Also, how many passport photos should I send? Do I need to send passport photos of just myself, or my wife too?

Thanks for all your help!

So when I'm at home and I do the washing and cleaning, the wife comes home and cooks me a meal, is that illegal?

What is classed as work, when it comes to waiting for the permit to come through.

Alright, a 'job', I would say is totally out of the question. But what about doing something for exchange, i.e. you sweep a friends driveway, and they give you a meal. Or my wife would be out working and I would vacuum the house and water the plants etc.

Where is the line drawn?

Thanks in advance! :-)

Hi,

I've been filling out forms all day for an AOS. My wife works really long hours and there is some info. on the forms that will take a little research to find out(tax return info. for the past 3 years etc) on the I-864.

I'm thinking probably best I send the i-130, i-485, g-1145 and g-325a first and send the i-864 later, as my VWP runs out on the 2nd of March 2013.

Whaddya think folks?

Thanks in Advance!

Yes, I think you've got it right hmh33. I've seen a similar post where other have done exactly what you said.

My Vwp date runs out on Sunday the 2nd of March. Would it still be on time, if I SEND it before that date, or does it need to arrive at Chicago by then? Any ideas?

Interesting. It was a few months ago now. It was on a Visa Waiver Program.

I'm sure I filled out a blue customs form, and an i-94, which I still have, but I think I remember being told I only need to fill out the blue customs form. So I just kept the i-94, but immigration didn't do anything with it.

Is that right Alaska?

Thanks Pengy! That's very reassuring!

Hi,

I'm from the UK, in the USA on a Visa Waiver.

I'm filling out an i-130 and an i-485 as I've just married my girlfriend. My passport has a stamp that has the date I entered the US, and the date the vwp runs out.

I have an i-94 but it just has the part I filled out. Nothing on it has been written by immigration, or any stamps etc.

Also, my vwp runs out on Sunday the 2nd March. Do I need to get the forms sent ON that date, or do they need to be AT the appropriate office by then?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response!

Do you have personal experience with this Lawyer?

Hi,

Does anyone know, or have experience of a good Immigration Attorney, preferably in Seattle or anywhere in Washington?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Sorry, I meant Nich Nick! :-)

Yeah, I 've got nothing to be guilty of, and I'm happy to co-operate, so what the hell! Thanks again jay Jay!

Got ya Jay jay! Very sound advice, thank you! :-)

I got an agency job that is very flexible, so I can honestly go on that line. I got enough money to keep me there. From what I know, and the advice given on this page, it seems like I can do this ok!

Thank you so much to everyone for their advice! So great that people can help each other out this way! Thank you! :-)

Yes, this trip is going to be on a visitor visa, there is no fiance visa involved at this stage.

I have good money to cover myself, for the trip. I'm getting a letter from my employer to say I have a job. I stay at my mothers and pay cheap rent.

Thank you very much for the advice so far, very useful

Hi Penguin,

We've not long been together, so we're at that stage yet!

And if I do take the honest route, what documentation/information will I need to give?
