There are some specific requirements to present in order to obtain the Green Card and here we will tell you about vaccines.
Own a Green Cardalso known as Permanent Resident Cardoffers the privilege of living and working permanently in USA. To obtain it, there are various categories, each with specific requirements that must be met.
If you are in USA with a nonimmigrant visa, it is possible to apply for adjustment of status, allowing you to become a legal permanent resident and obtain the coveted green card. Before starting this process, it is necessary to file an immigration petition in your name or on behalf of another person.
What vaccines do you need to apply for the Green Card?
A crucial aspect in the permanent residence application process is vaccination. Under United States immigration laws, applicants are required to receive specific vaccinations. These include:
- Papers
- measles
- Rubella (German measles)
- Polio
- Toxoids against tetanus and diphtheria
- whooping cough
- Haemophilus influenza type B
- Hepatitis B
- COVID-19
- Any other disease preventable by the vaccine recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
If the application is made from abroad, the applicant must undergo an immigration medical examination, carried out by a doctor designated by the United States Department of State (DOS). It is essential to bring all written vaccination documentation to the doctor, who will review the records to confirm that the required vaccinations have been received.
If you have already been vaccinated according to the required doses, it is not necessary to repeat them. Reviewing vaccination records during the immigration medical examination is crucial to verify evidence of vaccination appropriate for the applicant’s age.
For detailed information about vaccines, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provide general resources on vaccination and specific requirements for immigration in www.cdc.gov/vaccines/ . Being aware of these requirements and procedures ensures a smooth process in seeking the coveted permanent residency in the United States.
