Effective January 22, 2025, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) will no longer require adjustment of status applicants to present proof of a COVID-19 vaccination as part of their Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record.
The USCIS further commented that the agency will no longer issue Requests for Evidence or a Notice of Intent to Deny related to COVID-19 vaccinations.
Applicants applying for immigrant visas at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate are still required to present COVID-19 vaccinations when undergoing a medical evaluation by a panel physician at a clinic licensed by the Centers of Disease Control. Immigrant visa applicants who are unable to present proof of a COVID-19 vaccination may be eligible for a waiver.
