It would seem some people posting on here are pro-vaccine and anti-religious freedom. To that, I say "Whatever toots your horn, and it's a good thing you don't make policy for USCIS". We are going to try. He did receive the usual childhood vaccines in France, but as an adult a 10 year regular DTaP booster is required for entry into the US, as is the HEP B. When he was 19 he decided against vaccines, to the effect that his enlistment in the French Army was curtailed by one year because he continued to refuse the (sometimes experimental) vaccines required to remain enlisted. It is HIS body, and he does have a right to say what goes into it.

This waiver is difficult, time consuming and costly to file and unlikely to be successful. We've had several people on here asking about a vaccination waiver, and none have been successful as far as I know.

According to USCIS we don't have to pay the 545 admin fee for this if we file concurrently with I485. My spouse refuses adamantly to submit to the admistration of vaccines. Since freedom of religion is a basic right guaranteed by the US constitution, I see no legal grounds for USCIS to deny the application for inadmissibility due to religious objection. If one is denied the basic right to practice their religion, it is inhumane, unconstitutional, and admissible in court as religious discrimination. By the way. Where did you obtain the information that this is unlikely to be successful? Have you attempted to file this document and been denied? Do you quote specific statistics involving real cases, or is this just an opinion?

Have any of you experienced delay/problems/blocking from immigrations when filing the i601 for religious objection to vaccine administration? My husband is a naturalist and vegan. He does not believe in introducing artificial substances or medications into his body. Is it possible our i601 can be approved to waive the vaccine requirement when filing simultaneously with the i485/i130 after we married while he was here for a visit? Our marriage was something I kind of sprung on him as a surprise-getting the license, then after he thought we would wait, surprised him by driving to the jp who I had made an appointment with. I just didn't want to be separated from him anymore, after our back-and-forth visits and missing each other so much all the time. Now we have this mountain of paperwork and we're running out of time on his i94w to get it filed. But if there's a good chance the USCIS will keep the money, deny the app, and label him an overstay if he stays while waiting for the pending application, we prefer to do this another way since he has to go back home and finish a job anyway (we are going to file an application for advance parole at the same time). Thanks.
