Q: Does the COVID-19 vaccination waiver apply to immigrant visa applicants?

Does the COVID-19 vaccination waiver apply to immigrant visa applicants?

A: No, the COVID-19 vaccination waiver does not apply to immigrant visa applicants undergoing consular processing at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad. Immigrant visa applicants are still required to meet vaccination requirements, including the COVID-19 vaccine, as determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of State. Applicants need to confirm the requirements with the specific U.S. embassy or consulate and monitor updates from the Department of State.
