INS regulations re: vax requirements

[Guest guest]

Friends,

this man had just written me asking for help. He wants to claim the

religious exemption with the Immigration and Naturalization Service and

wants to make sure he can obtain it. If anyone knows the INS

requirements, could you please contact Mr Webb. Thanks----gary krasner

Hello,

My wife and our three children are currently undergoing Green Card

processing with the INS. We are about to have our physical examinations,

which require full vaccinations.

None of us want them, of course, as we are quite healthy. We have been

living here for 3 years. We have not vaccinated the kids (except for the

eldest, who had one polio shot before we decided against them

altogether).

We do find vaccination quite immoral, it is against our religion, and

plan

to apply for a waiver on religious and moral grounds. I have searched the

web but been unable to find help on how best to approach this. We're

looking

for someone who has successfully applied for this waiver for advice. Can

you

help put us in touch with someone? We have successfully (so far) lodged a

'waiver letter' for the kids' school, but are uncertain about how to

approach the INS.

Thanks very much,

n Webb
