Vaccine Exemptions: Immigration Waiver

Vaccine Exemptions:
Immigration Waiver

While our firm is able to handle all of your immigration needs, we have unique experience assisting individuals who seek to avoid vaccination because of moral convictions or religious beliefs.

Under U.S. immigration laws, a foreign national applying for an immigrant visa abroad or seeking adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident is required to present documentation showing the receipt of certain vaccines. We assist individuals seeking a waiver of this requirement by assisting in preparing, as required by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility along with your immigration application.

Immigration law also provides for a medical exemption to those that qualify. Grounds for obtaining a medical exemption can include the fact that there is no vaccine recommended for your specific age group, that you have a contraindication to a vaccine, or that you have had insufficient time to complete entire vaccine series.

We have assisted numerous individuals in obtaining waivers to vaccination as part of their immigration process. We can work with individuals representing themselves or with your immigration attorney to seek approval of vaccine waivers.

I wanted to Thank Allison R. Lucas Esq. for her help in obtaining a Vaccine Exemption for my son who will be attending the University of Michigan as a Freshman this upcoming fall. The University first denied the religious exemption. She was very responsive and helpful in turning it around so my son did not have to take he Covid Vaccine. My son and family Thank You so much! I would recommend Alison to anyone looking for help with Vaccination Exemptions.

We are so grateful to have found Christina at Siri & Glimstad. She did an amazing job in helping us to secure a favorable outcome for our I-601 Vaccine Waiver application as part of my wife's Green Card application. We feel that is was mainly because of her deep knowledge, understanding and wisdom surrounding the waiver topic, that produced our positive results. She was a joy to work with, always maintaining a professional and positive attitude while being completely realistic about the challenges which we were facing. These folks are doing amazingly important work and we would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of specific assistance.

We had the pleasure of working with Christina Xenides & Yesennia Esparza for our 601 waiver (vaccine exemption for immigration) for my husband's green card. The whole process with them was seamless, from their communication to their assistance with all matters they really covered all basis with a stressful application process. We couldn't have done it without them and are so grateful that we were fortunate enough to find them. Even more fortunate that their help got us approval! Such a weight lifted off our shoulders during such a stressful time. I highly recommend working Siri & Glimstad!

I came to Christina after receiving a request for evidence and being deemed inadmissible for not getting a couple vaccines. It was easy to fill out all the forms she needed in order to draft my letters. In less than a month my permanent resident status was approved! I now have my green card after being in the country for 13 years! Christina was a godsend and I’m so happy I found her and her team, I wouldn’t have my green card if it wasn’t for them. Forever grateful!
– Sofia

I’m deeply grateful and appreciate Attorney Xenides and her wonderful team’s help, my I601 and green card not only got approved, but also much faster than what I had expected, it only took 3 months.

Attorney Xenides and her team is beyond excellent in my opinion, I would highly recommend this professional law firm – Siri & Glimstad to others, they are the true fighters for justice.

I found this law firm from a video of Siri I saw online. It was like I was divinely led. I needed help with filing a religious waiver and I am so eternally grateful to have found Siri & Glimstad. I worked mainly with Christina and she was truly wonderful. Literally THE best legal experience I have ever had. She was VERY prompt (within minutes) in replying to my emails which was shocking because my other immigration lawyer typically takes several days to hear back from. When my religious exemption was approved and my permanent resident card came in the mail…I cried and I thought of Christina and how grateful I am and will always be for making such a stressful time a lot easier for me. Thank you so much again. Blessings.
– Samantha

Such a great firm to work with. I ran into some complications with my Green Card application once I found out I needed to take certain vaccines to even apply. My other law firm (the one that handled my green card application process), wasn’t very helpful in navigating these “murky waters." I found Siri & Glimstad after doing some research and since the very first moment I spoke to them, they took my concerns really seriously. Today I received my Green Card!!! And I’m thrilled and eternally grateful and thankful for you guys! This would not have been possible without your knowledge and guidance. Thank you so much!!

I worked with Jessica Wallace & Christina Xenides for my immigration vaccination waiver (I-601) and received my green card approval in 12 months! The process was very clearly constructed and outlined. Communication was stellar and super responsive to move things along quickly. The firm is very well versed for all the I-601 requirements and proper filing procedures. Will be using this firm for all my future needs!
