- COVID Vaccine Waiver Based on Religious Belief or Moral Conviction
In this video, I discuss how applicants for a Green Card or immigrant visa may apply for a waiver of the new rules that require COVID vaccination in connection with the immigration process. A blanket waiver and waiver based on religious beliefs or moral conviction is available for those who refuse to get vaccinated. Watch for more details.

My wife has been in the us for 5plus months and within these months we had a baby and she had complication which required extensive time in the hospital. I petition for her in 2020 and got approved in August 2021, however we are still waiting on the embassy in Jamaica to schedule her for interview. Should I allow her to go back to Jamaica and wait on the interview with the baby or wait until the embassy schedule an interview date before she travel back to Jamaica.
Hi, perhaps you can help me figure out a discrepancy? The waiver requirements are that one must have a Religious Belief or Moral Conviction against all vaccines. So, how is Covid Vaccine waiver helpful when it's opposed to the waiver conditions? Please, explain this contradiction?
Does anyone have a waiver that was approved that you can share so we can see it as a example???
This would help a lot!!
I can't believe they are still mandating this with all that has come out. Purely criminal.
Absolutely
930 dollars to fill the form is significative they don t care!
If the vaccine manufacturers aren't responsible for the side effects why would I hold them responsible? Now wouldn't that be a good argument? They can't violate my rights like that at all.
Girl power. I love ur commitment and passion for your job!
As a non-religious individual it basically feels impossible to successfully go the 'moral conviction' route with this waiver. How is one supposed to prove they are against vaccinations without using religion OR scientific reasoning (my reasons for not getting vaccinated are purely rooted in science but this is not allowed). How am I supposed to prove to USCIS that I am merely morally against vaccines? What kind of evidence is even possible to show? It is very depressing knowing all this time and money spent during this immigration process was just going to lead to me getting likely denied because of a bs vaccine requirement.
Hi, It could be for moral conviction. Just fill out the waiver I-601 and write a letter about your reasons. If it's because science, show the facts. I'm Christian but I'm against this vax cause side effects so, I wrote about friends that had consequences to got this vax and FDA side effects, FDA has a list in website, so... list all of these.
@@columbadiazcarvajal1250did you get approved?
Also, do we submit the waiver to the civil surgeon? Or submit the waiver to USCIS?
@@manilaairconexperts1455 I haven’t received any response until this point, but I got my work permit one month ago. My attorney wrote the writer with me. We wrote a letter with all the point to avoid vaccination and se send it on mid of March. The surgeon just said that I didn’t get the vaccine for moral conviction and he gave me a copy of the documents that he fill out. It looks that everything is working pretty good. Hopefully soon I can give you feedback about it. The weaver is for immigration not for the surgeon.
Well, you have your own moral values and that counts. I'll give you mine: I believe in sacredness of the human life. Vaccines are developed using cell lines form aborted fetuses. If you are pro-life, there you have a good ground for opposing vaccines. Also, they are developed with a lot of toxic metals. So all you have to prove is that you don't believe or trust them. If that's your conviction, the go for it.
@@columbadiazcarvajal1250 Please let us know how it went and the result. This issue is the only thing stopping me from immigrating.
I can't believe still mandating this covid 19 vaccine ,now is already 2023.. thank u for sharing this informative statement
This was a really helpful video.
One of the best explanations.
Glad it was helpful!
excellent info👏👏👏 it's a shame most people don't even know this waiver exists and lawyers don't want to be bothered with it
Since when does the government have a right to make decisions over your faith and religion?
who said they make decisions over your faith and religion? do you even understand the meaning of that ...
Thank you Attorney God bless you always!!!!
You’re welcome
This video was helpful. Thank you!
They're evil 😡
Good morning McBean this time l'm at work l just watch your video
l'm so glad to hear you
McBean still l didn't take vaccine even l didn't check COVID-19
You really good on what you do ; thank you for your good work.
How much you charge for the waiver base on religious belief? ❤❤
Boy boy boy..... when it rains it pours. Storm clouds rising billows roll. This will be so hard to argue.
Hello would someone need to fill out a 601 waiver or is the 690 waiver is a better one to fill out. A sworn statement does it have to be notarized
follow the money. You have the green, you get a green light. Sad truth
There is a fee waiver request form available for the I-601 waiver for people with financial difficulty.
@@steamedhamlet link?
@@__-wm9lu I can't post links and my reply got deleted but in the uscis page for the i 601 waiver there is a section called related forms or something and u can find the fee waiver there.
Thanks for this information.
Thank you for this video! Now that the requirement for travel has been lifted, Do you know if the requirement for the green card will be removed soon?
Is the sworn statement just the i601 form filled out? What about affidavit s, can they be a letter signed by two people or do we have to add more details like a copy of their drivers license?
Can I use an exemption to travel from Canada to US? Canada doesn't want to give an exemption
So helpful.
God bless you.
Do we fill out a 601 waiver or can I fill out a 690 waiver form which is more specific to the vaccine. Does the sworn statement have to be notorized and do you have to say in the statement that I swear that all the statements that I mention are true . Thanks
Thank you always..🙏🏾
Goodmorning mrs mc bean looking gorgeous and blessed
Hi! You explain everything very good thanks to making video for all people. I have a question. Is it good to get Medicaid and snap from IDHS (Illinois) if your asylum case is pending or it’s getting effect out asylum case. Please give it answer.
Hello! Just a question
Is it useful when an immigrant in mariage based I485 works and already pay taxes with is own social security?
If yes in what part of the I864 to include it?
Thanks
My wife has an interview in her home country and they are requiring vaccinations since faith has grown she is opposed to vaccinations now. And me personally will not allow anybody in my home with a vaccination especially the covid vaccination. Both me and my wife have already had covid and we are100% immune to it.. I'm just curious so the government decides whether me and my wife are married or not?
Well done keep up your good work.
Thank you
What happened to the separation of church and state where's the government can't interfere with religion. The people from the church can interfere with the government ?
Does it apply for a green card renewal of a person living in US for many years?
Very helpful information thank you so much i have one question when can i file form i601 with medical exam?
I’m just getting started the last step going through the physical. The surgeon told a new requirement has just been issued: not only you need to have completed the Covid vaccine cycle, but you need to have taken a dose of the vaccine in 2023. So people with 4 doses, but taken before 2022, still need to get another one.
Did they show you a link on USCIS for that?
Blessed morning to you
Miss do u know when people will able to travel/ work permit I ask u in all your videos god bless u .
🙏🏾 Thank you
Do I file 1 for the whole family or one for each person in my family?
Thank you so much for put out this video. This video Will help us a lot. And get non vaccine people together and fight back. I appreciate it . ❤
how long will it take to get the visa?
My question is, *do we need need to file form i-601 for kids as well?*
I have searched the USCIS website and they do not mention it at all. The, however, mentions kids under 17 years old for form i-601A. But form i-601A is for people who entered the US illegally, and that's different from the qualifications for for i-601, which people have entered the US legally.
i am sure you will have to file for the kids as well because it is required for those 6 months and older. this is so sad they are still have this so called vaccine as mandatory
My body, my choice
Amen!
I only hope they scrap it soon
Very helpful information. My spouse received her covid vaccine before coming to the States. Now we are in the States going for her Green Card and we are now being told that her vaccine qualified to get her here but it does not qualify to get her a Green Card. They said that it must be a Pfizer Moderna and her vaccine was from a different company. Is there a waiver available for us to avoid having to go through this covid vaccine again?
That is bullshit, it makes you think why does it have to be that one from that particular company, I mean a vaccine is a vaccine right.
Thak you so much
You're welcome
My case was suppose to be easy. Now with this im nervous to even start. I would do it through AOS. But now this makes me nervous. 😟
Hello, for help with an immigration case, you may contact us at mcbeanlaw.com/contact/
I’m in the same boat. My case was looking like it was gonna be smooth sailing and fast but now with me not wanting to get vaccinated for my medical exam I’m scared to apply for a waiver and still get denied for my green card 😞
Curious to know when one should submit I-601. Currently finalizing application with NVC (national Visa Center) thanks in advance ❤
Hello, any updates? I am done with NVC and just waiting for my interview letter. I am not sure if I still can apply for this waiver. I won't take the vaccines. Thanks a lot!
Can this waiver be used for the new travel requirements for international travelers?
No
The lady's video is 2 years old. Is it still true tat you can complete a waiver to exempt you from vaccinations?
Yes it is!
Do I submit the waiver, form I-130 and form I-485 at the same time?
Hello, may I know if you proceed?
Please update this critical information - has anything changed since this post? Thanks
No. I'm hoping that Trump will cancel all Covid mandates in 2025, if elected
Hopium sadly. It's not just vocid mandates... it's the entire 'medical mandates' issue that need to be scrapped. Zines aren't proven. @@googlestinx
@@googlestinx your fake Messiah trump is just another puppet. He has never and will never help you
Is it still mandatory for the green card winners and other persons entering the USA?
Yes it is unfortunately!
Where can I find this waver.PLEASE HELP. We have had no clear help on where I can find this waver. Or what this waver is called. I keep getting directed to I-160 form
The doctor that is examining you will provide that form for you
I-601 or doctor.
Blanket waiver from a doctor only I believe.
I think the catalog Tools For Freedom can tell you where you can get a religious waiver. Good luck!
Do you think there is any chance that this mandate will go away? I do not want my future husband to take any type of mrna shot.
Im hoping for that to happen too. Have you found any info? I would love to hear from someone who applied for the waiver and if it worked. Can’t believe they make ppl pay so much for it. :(
I was hoping it would go away by the end of flu season but really there is no telling what will happen. I got apprroved 2 months after submission of I 601.
It IS quite expensive but there is a form to request a fee waiver for this. U have to show financial difficulty I believe
@@steamedhamlet Hi, my fiancé and I are currently doing the visa process to bring her here, did you run into any trouble at the airports without the “covid vaccine?”
@@steamedhamlet wait did ur waiver get approved ? Was it hard ?
How do I get in touch with you for your support with this? Please let me know
Sure, you may reach out to schedule an appointment - www.mcbeanlaw.com/contact/ or 516-866-3900
If I’m going to submit the waiver 601, do I have to submit it to the civil surgeon who will give me a medical exam? I’m confused. Please enlighten me. I only have until june so I’m skeptical about the waiver. Some people say they received it after a few months and some received it after 2 years.
Your I-601 will get processed much quicker if you file from within the US.
To answer your other question, no. You'll do the exam as normal, and when you get to the vaccines, you tell the Civil Surgeon that you intend on filing a I-601.
If you're in the US, you may file it alongside the I-485 and both will typically finish processing at the same time.
Hello everyone. My concerns am new to this don’t really understand the immigration fully. I already send in my 1485 and they responded but am against all the vaccines. Am about to do medical soon how should I go about the I601 can I do it and take it to the civil surgeon? Thank you
Does this apply to all visas and travel?
Thanks~~~~
Is there any waiver of non immigrant entry?
non -immigrant entry needs no vaccination
How much do you charge for consultation?
$200
Hi ! I'm gonna be in my green card process . I'm gonna try to get the waiver to not take the vax, I refuse it cuz of my moral beliefs. Also in my vax card ( I have only ones as I was required as a kid) but I refused to take the last one once I turned 18, is the history of me refusing to take the last one vaccine helpful for the case ? Cuz its not like I don't wanna take only for the covid but in general all of them. Thank you for your answer in advance !
Hey! Would love to hear how it worked out. It’s really hard to just chose option a or b and not to have your own voice.
@@ju-lia u r in the same situation?
I would say that definitely works in your favor. Just speak from your heart in your statement. They care more that you're sincere than if u took a vaccine last year.
@@krystian9797 yes, kind of. I don’t want to get all required vaccines again just so I have proof. But I also don’t want to get the covid one 🤷🏻♀️
@@ju-lia I feel you totally. The same, maybe we can get in touch to talk about it ? It's always better to be in the same situation with someone else than alone yk :) lmk please
Good evening MC , am trying to reach you for information that’s very important to me
If you apply for the waiver you need to show that you are against all vaccines. If they think you are singling out a covid vaccine then what are you supposed to do?
I asked the same question, and no answer from this post.
In my statement i was honest that covid was my main concern. I tried to speak from the heart and tell the truth. I got approved. I don't know for sure how they will react to singling out covid but i explained that it's a new vaccine and we need more time to figure out the long term effects. At the end of the day i believe it's at the discretion of the officer reading the statement so try your best to be sincere and truthful and tell your story.
@@steamedhamlet Hello! Do you remember when did you apply for a waiver? Like before medical exam? Or they deny you first and then you apply for a waiver and go for the 2nd round? Thank you
@@steamedhamlet did you pay the fee for the waiver?
Definitely safer to say youre against ALL. Ive seen people get denied for singling out this jab. Claim religious convictions and you are against all.
Can you get vaccines after interview if you don't have enough time before interview?
Does officer during interview ask you about medical exam?
Hello, did you get the answer? I’m in this position .. 🙏
@@celine9953 Good evening I don't even know what to say about this at this point because this whole immigration system is corrupt. Unfortunately like others have stated there is truth in the fact that it depends on what officer you get, what mood they are in etc. It is terrible. Inhumane to say the least. Not to mention my husband had to stand up at his interview while others were sitting waiting for their turn listening in the same room. The officer did not ask about vaccines. My husband was denied via email when during the interview the officer acted like he would get his green card. I am fed up
It has been over three years in this process. Now we are waiting for FIOA ...Already almost three months waiting for that. More waiting and more waiting... I am a US citizen and we have children. The national visa center and USCIS are terrible. It is unbelievable.
@@ahall6091 thanks for your answer .. I’m sorry to read that ‘ God that’s terrible !
It is so unfair !
Do they give the reason of why he’s been denied ? Cause you said the officer didn’t ask about vaccines so I don’t understand if you’re married with children where is the problem ?
@@ahall6091 I am in the same situation but why was he denied if it wasn’t the vaccine?
@@celine9953 same I am in this situation this is unbelievable.
I live in the US and want to marry someone that lives in Canada. He will not get vaccinated. He can’t come visit me since there is also a mandate for travel. Because of the travel mandate, I don’t think it would be helpful to apply for a K1 visa, right? So best option would be for me to marry him in Canada and then try for the green card with waiver?
It comes down to the same thing. One is the K1, the other one the K2 visa.
Travel somewhere where you can get a doctor to give you a medical exemption for the covid jab. Use that to enter the U.S. thats what I did.
How are you guys doing? Looks like he'll be able to enter after May 11th. If you'd like to connect, message me through one of my socials linked in my profile.
@@golden-light-healing He might be able to enter after May 11th but the mandatory vaccination to get the Green card will still remain as a requirement indefinitely I am told in another YT discussion. And the source is the USCIS over the phone. I am still questioning myself if they have the authority to decide this.
@Aki Eyu Definitely make sure you have a good lawyer. Let's hope with everything coming out now officially, that rules will change. If you haven't yet applied for the K1, it will still take over a year for that even to go through.
pls can this apply in UK
Thanks~~~~
I read into a comment section in another video talking about the same subject that taking the waiver adds a YEAR to the application process? Is this legit?
When do we apply for the waiver, is it before or with all the application documents
Not necessarily. Im in a FB group for this exact stuff and some get approved within 6 months. Its impossible to say really
@@bayleymacintosh5622 I would really like to be in touch with this FB group… (I don’t have FB though) it would be useful to know how they fill this waiver up). If you can help on that it would be amazing. I am really stalling on that. Thank you in advance
@@akieyu1856 most waivers are taking an eternity.
You might see an approved waiver here and there but most are hitting over 2 years
@@akieyu1856 It varies, it can take an extra year or two, but some got approved within weeks or months. There is no way to know unfortunately.

Hi 👋
How long does it takes to do a vaccine waiver on religious conviction and how long does it takes us cis to review it and make a decision? How much do u charge to do this waiver??
930 dollars
I wouldn’t be surprised if it makes the whole process even longer
I received approval 2 months after submitting my waiver.
@@steamedhamlet Did you have to go in for an interview and get grilled by an officer to get it? Do you mind sharing a little bit about the "evidence" you submitted, like for example if you had sworn affidavits from other people included? Any insight into your success would be a huge help. Thank you, Bridge over fluoridated water!
@@steamedhamlet can you please share your experience with submitting the waiver?
i need help with this vaccines waivers
Which state are you in?
Me too . I m looking for right lawyer can help me .
Currently stuck in Mexico since March 2022 for not having the 💉. Do not go out of the country without the 601 waiver approved or having your shots.
Get an exemption from a doc. Thats what I did and I was able to enter the US using it.
@@bayleymacintosh5622 the only exempt from a doctor is medical reasons right?
@@wumana Correct. Although you may be able to find a doc who writes that you previously had an allergic reaction to vaccines and therefore are exempt from receiving the covid one
Hi, can you update if you applied for this 601 waiver and if you were approved? How long was the process? I am not sure if we can apply before having 601a waiver approved. My husband will have to leave to Mexico for his immigrant visa hopefully in a few months and we are not taking vaccine. I would appreciate if you can share the timeline of your case. Thanks
@@elenarodriguez-eg9yc if im not mistaken the vaccine is no longer required. Im still in Mexico waiting approval.
Hi
How long does the waiver take to get approved if approved?
I got my approval 2 months after submission
@T B I'm also interested
@@steamedhamlet could you say more please ? How did u make it happen ?
@T B Sorry I didn't get notified! So the form I 601 is pretty simple. For people using it for moral and religious reasons to not take the vax, they don't have to fill the extreme hardship section. You have to write a personal statement explaining your morals and religious beliefs and explain how they would be compromised if you were to accept vaccines. I don't know what they're looking for to approve to be honest. It might even depend on the officer reading your waiver request. But for me, I tried to write as honestly as I could and tell my story and why I had decided not to take any vaccines. I tried to speak from my heart and explained everything (it was 12 pages by the end! ) I stayed away from scientific arguements about inoculations. In the end I don't know what they're looking for to approve, but as long as you're honest and do some soul searching so you can talk deeply and sincerely about your reasons, that (in my unprofessional opinion) is the right thing to do.
@@krystian9797 And in the end, it's one of those things where you have to go for it if you truly believe in your reasons regardless of whether it might work or not. If our convictions are strong enough, then they're worth fighting for. If you're following a certain religion and that religion emphasizes caring for your health and body, you can say that the covid vax is unprecedented and we don't know the long term effects so it's not responsible to expose yourself to it as it may compromise your religious duty to take care of your health. It is not advised to single out the covid vax, I should say that. But at the end of the day, if we do what we really believe in, that's all that matters, right?
Will this work for CR1 visa? I am just waiting for my interview date 😢😢
I'm just about to submit a K1 visa and I love my Fiance but I've delayed my visa application for months because I know I will have to be given the shot to gain a spousal green card.
