A partir del 1 de octubre de 2021, los inmigrantes que soliciten un ajuste de estatus con USCIS deben estar completamente vacunados contra el virus COVID-19. En general, una persona que solicita la residencia permanente legal debe demostrar que no está descalificada por motivos de salud. Por esta razón, USCIS requiere un examen médico realizado por un médico autorizado y otras vacunas (como poliomielitis, tétanos, sarampión) para las solicitudes de residencia permanente. Debido a la crisis de la pandemia, los solicitantes ahora deben proporcionar documentación de la vacunación COVID-19 en el examen médico para fines de inmigración.

USCIS: COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements
Effective Oct 1, 2021, immigrants applying for adjustment of status with USCIS must be fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. USCIS requires a medical exam conducted by an authorized doctor and other vaccinations (such as polio, tetanus, measles) for applications of permanent residence. There are some important exceptions to this vaccination requirement. If the vaccination is not age appropriate or the vaccination cannot be given for medical reasons; or there is a limited supply of vaccination. There is also a waiver if the applicant refuses vaccination based on religious or moral convictions. The applicant must submit a waiver form along with the application packet to qualify.
