[emoji31] How long before that happens?Thanks Try calling the embassy and ask about the progress of your I-130 petition. It should only take 2-3 weeks to process. We got our email 15 days after I filed the I-130. That was followed up the next week with a physical letter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richieboy67 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, I have been unable to post here for a long time due to our global connection not being able to connect to this site. Anyways, we have cable internet here now! Life is good! I was going to start a new thread but I figured I would just add to this one. We have the interview coming up in a couple weeks and soon we will be going to the USA. My issue is that my wife is pregnant and due in late June. I'm worried about healthcare for her in the USA. I know I'll be able to do it once her social security number is sent but what about before? I would appreciate any advice my peops! Thanks, Rich Edited February 22, 2016 by Richieboy67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else would depend on whatever provision you have made for her health care. Maybe get some travel insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Rich The ACA does nothing to prevent you from buying health insurance. You can just find insurance companies that provide health insurance in the state where you will reside and purchase a health insurance policy. You may even be able to do this before you arrive. The insurance company may try to get you to apply via healthcare.gov but you only really need to do that _IF_ you want to try to get a subsidy for your premium. The other question is whether you can get a policy that will cover your wife's pregnancy. Of course with the ACA you are supposed to get coverage for pre-existing conditions. You will need a US phone number where you can be contacted and a US mailing address. FYI, the ACA requires that you obtain insurance within 2 months of arrival and allows you to get health care via the marketplace outside of the Dec-Jan signup window. Your wife's SSN will arrive within 2-3 weeks. Not having an SSN can cause problems due to the fact that many organizations like doctors, hospitals, etc. ask for it when according to the law the SSN is not supposed to be used for ID purposes. Often it is just because their stupid data entry screen requires it. Tell them to put in all 0's or all 1's since if wife doesn't have one yet. You might try contacting healthcare.gov to ask them. Good luck. I recommend you have this figured out before you book your flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richieboy67 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks, I'm in communication with them. It is difficult because I cannot access the aca site for my state because they have blocked international ips and proxies. I definitely need to go through the aca due to my wife being pregnant. We will definitely benefit from the subsidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richieboy67 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Unfortunately they block proxies.. I was told though that I should be able to have my wife insured quickly by sending documents to prove identity and income upon arrival. I was told they will expedite due to the pregnancy. By the way, not sure if I mentioned it here yet already but it is a boy! :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
