- Q. Hello im a USA citizen but also a Israel citizen, in currently in Israel and planning on coming back to USA this month,
- A: Although it was announced earlier this year that Israel is working with the United States to participate in the Visa Waiver Program, which would allow Israeli citizens to travel to the United States without a visa for up to 90 days. Israel has not yet been added to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). As such, if your grandmother wishes to visit the United States at this time she would first need to apply for a visitor’s visa.
You can follow these steps to help her apply: https://il.usembassy.gov/visas/how-to-apply/
- Q. Do I have to take the COVID 19 vaccine to pass my medical exam? Is there any way to not take it and still get approved?
- A: Several vaccinations, including covid, are required as part of the medical exam (Form I-693). If the requirement for a vaccination would be contrary to your religious beliefs or moral convictions, you would have to submit a Form I-601 waiver. You can read more about the requirements for the waiver here: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-9-part-d-chapter-3#:~:text=Moral%20Conviction%E2%80%8B-,1.,that%20CDC%20review%20this%20waiver
- Q. Can I Stay outside of USA for more than an year on green card?
- A: You can apply for a reentry permit that allows you to remain outside of the United States without returning for up to a two-period. You can read more about the permit here: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/B5en.pdf
Also, you should be aware that even though the reentry permit would allow you to be outside of the United States for a year without abandoning your status, the reentry permit does not apply to maintaining physical/continuous presence in the United States for purposes of naturalization.
