Success Story: On-the-spot Approval of Three Waivers

By George Lake

On-the-spot Approval of an I-130, I-485, and I-601 Vaccine Waiver During Interview 

Our client, a Canadian national married to a US citizen, requested to file applications for the I-130, I-485, and I-601 (vaccine) waivers. All applications were filed concurrently and during the Adjustment of Status interview, all three applications were approved. This is rare because the I-601 waiver isn’t usually adjudicated at the interview stage and often takes a couple more weeks to be approved. This is an excellent result for our clients, achieved by the Blue Lake Law team!

The I-130 waiver is an application to file a petition for an alien relative. In this case, our client’s spouse filed an application to establish a qualifying relationship with a foreign relative who wants to immigrate to the US (our client who is a Canadian citizen). 

 I-485 waivers are the application that the foreign national wishing to immigrate to the US files. The I-485 deals with adjustment of status or applying for a lawful permanent resident status, so the foreign national can obtain a green card. 

I-601 vaccine waivers are the application which allows Green Card applicants to avoid violating their sincerely held moral beliefs against vaccines of all kinds while still obtaining their Legal Permanent Residence. Blue Lake Law has extensive experience in this area and maintains a 100% success rate.

Our team at Blue Lake Law conducts a thorough assessment of each situation. We provided personalized strategies, including:

  • Detailed Consultation: Understanding specific moral beliefs of our clients and taking the time to help convey their beliefs against vaccines in a way which would also meet USCIS requirements to waive the vaccine requirement.
  • Document Preparation: Ensuring all forms, arguments and affidavits were completed accurately and submitted on time.
  • Ongoing Support: Communicating with our clients at every step, answering questions, and providing reassurance.

Thanks to our dedicated efforts, our client was successfully able to obtain the necessary documents to immigrate to the United States as a foreign family member as a US citizen. At Blue Lake Law, we are committed to helping our clients navigate the complexities of U.S. immigration. If you’re facing similar challenges, we’re here to help you achieve your immigration goals.
