Form I-693 may be accepted without the seasonal flu vaccine

Form i-693

Accepted Form I-693

CDC informed USCIS that the seasonal influenza (flu) vaccine varies both earthly and temporary. Based on CDC’s information, this notice is effective immediately and extends through 03/31/10. If you are applying for adjustment status to become a lawful permanent resident, use this form to establish that you are not inadmissible to the United States on public health grounds. Accepted Form I-693 reports results of an immigration medical examination to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS requires the examination to establish that applicants who are seeking immigration benefits are not inadmissible to the United States on health-related grounds. You can find a list of the health-related grounds in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 212(a)(1).
