You need at least two doses of the vaccine unless you have received the Johnson and Johnson vaccine or bivalent vaccine, when one dose is enough. In addition, you need a COVID-19 vaccine booster if you have not received one in the last 12 months.
Vaccines are required by USCIS for communicable diseases. Bring any records you may have. We can take any vaccine records that were administered by anyone, including in a foreign country.
