Vaccinations - Good news/Bad news

[Eric]

Starting December 14 the HPV vaccination will no longer be required for immigration purposes - that is the good news. The bad news is that because of this change USCIS has temporarily put on hold certain AOS applications until the new requirements become effective.

Kind of a non-issue for all of us.

 

As a result, since Nov. 13, 2009, USCIS has held any application that would have been denied solely based on the applicant’s failure to show proof of having received the HPV or zoster vaccine. USCIS will resume adjudicating these applications on Dec. 14, 2009, using the new vaccination criteria, which eliminate the need for the HPV and zoster vaccines.
