Conflicting USCIS Covid-19 vaccination restrictions related to entering their offices
USCIS provides conflicting guidance on who can enter their offices related to Covid-19 and travel.
My notice has these restrictions:
However, if you are ill, have any symptoms of illness, have traveled outside the United States within the past 10 days\ (unless you traveled outside of the United States in a personal vehicle); or had contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 14 days; or are at heightened risk due to age or an underlying health condition and would like to reschedule your appointment [...] If you have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (defined as at least 2 weeks after second dose of Pfizer and Moderna vaccine, or 2 weeks after single J&J vaccine), you do not need to reschedule* after contact with a positive person as long as you continue to not have symptoms.
I read this as vaccination only gives you a free pass in the positive person scenario, but not if I've travelled internationally within the past 10 days. This is strange, as a contact with a positive person is a confirmed risk while travelling is not really confirmed.
On their website they have more sensible recommendation, where domestic air travel is included as a risk but vaccinated people get a free pass for air travel and contact with a positive person: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-response-to-covid-19
Should I assume my notice has outdated guidance and just follow the latest published guidance from the link above?
