As of January 22, 2025, USCIS has officially removed the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for applicants seeking adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident. This update simplifies the immigration process, making it less stressful for applicants.
Key Changes You Need to Know
- No Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination Required: Applicants are no longer required to submit COVID-19 vaccination documentation on Form I-693 (Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record).
- No RFEs or NOIDs: USCIS will no longer issue Requests for Evidence (RFEs) or Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs) for missing COVID-19 vaccination records.
- No Denials for Missing COVID-19 Vaccine Documentation: Applications will not be denied due to the absence of COVID-19 vaccination records.
This policy change significantly streamlines the adjustment of the status process, offering relief to applicants navigating the immigration system.
