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.
Gonna go out on a limb here a little bit. Sometimes God does his greatest work when we are out of our own options. Prayer, offered in humility and righteousness, is powerful and effective (James 5:16). (For reference, I am a Bible believing Christian.) There are many Scriptures that speak to the authority of the believer over our enemies by employing the weapons of spiritual warfare. That said, you can receive from God what you have faith for not what you don't. (Matt 9:29) If you're on the fence about God or feeling weak in your faith, you could bring God what you have in terms of faith (Mark 9:24) (even if it's in the nothing category), and dig in in prayer with consistency. The enemy will resist you. Who wins is determined not only by who is the last one standing, but also by whose "truth/words" prevail. Avoid bitterness or you will miss the grace of God (Hebrews 12:15). Someone once told me that,"Until we understand that life is war, we'll never (truly) understand what prayer is for." I'll be praying for you.
This is definitely how it feels. We have agency, but we are not control. God is in control. Thanks for the payers!!
Well stated! And you're welcome!
