Applying for my wife's greencard with an IR1 visa, where she gets residence on landing. The problem is that DHS is STILL REQUIRING THE FUCKING COVID INJECTIONS.
This also means that family is effectively banned from entering the country, since the visa is tied to the covid requirement. This has effectively made me and my family stranded abroad in no-man's land, because there is no way to effectively appeal the requirement as the law states:
(a) Classes of aliens ineligible for visas or admission
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, aliens who are inadmissible under the following paragraphs are ineligible to receive visas and ineligible to be admitted to the United States:
(1) Health-related grounds
(A) In general
Any alien-
(ii) except as provided in subparagraph (C), who seeks admission as an immigrant, or who seeks adjustment of status to the status of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, and who has failed to present documentation of having received vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases, which shall include at least the following diseases: mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, pertussis, influenza type B and hepatitis B, and any other vaccinations against vaccine-preventable diseases recommended by the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices,
Basically I would need a religious reason for ALL vaccines, when specifically the problem is that I don't want my family to take an experimental medical injection that CAN FUCKING KILL YOU.
In this case the California district of appeal stated that because the COVID injections do not stop infection and transmission, they cannot be mandated by the state, but the requirement remains.
Also what's REALLY fucked up, is there is no law that says, "immigrants need the covid vaccine", the law says "recommendations from the CDC are REQUIRED", which is basically giving the ability to make immigration law to the executive branch without any representation.
Got a friend that had to recently move back to her home country because her green card was denied for not getting the jab. Fortunately, her spouse got a better job there anyway, but we are going to miss them! She started her application before the Covid vax was even out, but still they are requiring it. It really is a crazy clown world!

I've been trying to reach out to law firms, and my representative with no luck so far. GW, any suggestions?

Yeah, this sucks. My backup is to find a digital nomad country to jump to once my visa runs out where I am.
Dude, just print a vaccine card.
Pay a nurse/ to give you a real card.
you should have a religious exemption against all vaccines then.
also try a different state, CA sucks
This is not CA, this is a federal requirement for everyone.
