USCIS is still requiring all LEGAL greencard applicants to get the covid jab: https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/panel-physicians/vaccinations.html#covid-19-vaccination
This is ALL immigrants changing their status inside the United States, and in my case it's blocking my wife's IR1 immigration visa. I have hired people to look into legal options, and the advice I have been given is there is nothing that I can do as far as a waiver goes, because it's completely up to the officer to grant a waiver, and if we get denied there is both no way to challenge the denial in court AND it would prevent us from getting a non-immigration immigration visa having a rejection on her file.
I am a US citizen and my family is BANNED from the United States because of on-going federal vaccine mandates.
This is becoming the most likely option. It's mind boggling how incompetent the government is. It's like the power went off in the prison and I'm stuck in solitary.
