USCIS: Proof of COVID-19 Vaccine for Acquiring Green Cards No Longer Required
(PC: Freepick.com)
From USCIS:
Effective Jan. 22, 2025, USCIS is waiving any and all requirements that applicants for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident present documentation on their Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, that they received the COVID-19 vaccination. USCIS will not issue any Request for Evidence or Notice of Intent to Deny related to proving a COVID-19 vaccination. USCIS will not deny any adjustment of status application based on the applicant’s failure to present documentation that they received the COVID-19 vaccination.
In 2021 the COVID-19 vaccine joined the existing shots required, such as polio, measles, and hepatitis B, as part of the medical screening for green card applicants. Proof of vaccination is no longer required effective immediately.
