USCIS Waives COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement for Adjustment of Status Applicants

Effective January 22, 2025, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is waiving “any and all requirements” that applicants for adjustment of status to permanent residence present documentation on their Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, that they received the COVID-19 vaccination.

USCIS said it will not issue any Request for Evidence or Notice of Intent to Deny related to proving a COVID-19 vaccination or deny any adjustment of status application on that basis.
