Interview and insurance?

[SupportGeek 21]

So with the interview looming on the 20th, Ive been reading more and more of the MTL consulate reviews for ideas on what they are likely to ask, how stressed out Im going to be (or not?). One thing Ive noticed is that in the last month, a question has been being asked sporadically of the USC "Do you have medical insurance?" I assume that the sudden interest is related to the Medical insurance reforms that the US signed into law or whatever, but more importantly, does anyone have any idea if answering "no" to this question will cause a denial for the K-1? My Fiancee doesnt have insurance currently, and we are unlikely to have any until I can get working also. So like everything else in this whole process, this worries me somewhat to answer no if Im asked, if it wasnt important, why ask?

All thoughts are welcome

I was asked this question. I'm not sure why, to be honest. I think it was partly because the Immigration medical noted that I had a heart murmur (which I don't actually, I checked it out after my medical).

I can't see why it would be a denial. You may want to look into Seven Corners or other insurance you can get as an immigrant to be safe and even to just say that you are researching your options.

I have no idea, and I'm glad you asked this question because it's something I've started worrying about, too. I mean, there's an insurance plan that I can get, but I haven't needed to yet. Hopefully someone can answer, haha...

I think it is more for the Canadian resident who has been used to having socialized health care to recognize that his/her health insurance will not be usable in the U.S. As the woman said at my fiance's interview, "Based on the information you have provided today, you are approved."

Proof of health insurance isn't a requirement in the paperwork so I doubt it would mean a denial of K-1 visa.
