you show you have enough funds to cover your mom and yes specially in cases where older ppl are involved they would want to see that you can completely take care of their medical expense, without becoming a state charge.

You will need to provide proof of a health insurance policy for medical coverage.

You will have to get an health insurance policy , call around and talk to some health insurance companies. At the age of 70, there will be a limited number of companies that will issue her a policy. This is something that your mother will need, not having medical health insurance coverage for your mother will be suicidal to you'll finance.

Getting insurance without social security number is impossible.Then we can even buy from medicare with high price .but she is not here ,and should show the proof in embassy or NVC first.

The "HOW" I can't help you with, maybe someone else who has done it for a parent will come along. I don't think you will be buying HI from Medicare, since this is government issued. Try getting a ITIN number for your mother, prior to her getting a SS#.

Good luck...

are you certain you have to prove up HOW she won't become a public charge when submitting the I-864?

If that's the case, then all is based on the PRIMARY SPONSER, the PETITIONER, and any co-sponser - as the onus is on the SPONSERS, not the APPLICANT.

The sponser signs at the bottom, to 'guarantee' with the FEDS that applicant WILL NOT BECOME a public charge. That's the dealio - usually ppl prove this up by SPONSERs INCOME and ASSETS .

Maybe's there's some confusion on 'voice' ?

The I-864 is for the petitioner, so use 'that voice'.

The DS-230 is for the intending immigrant, so use 'that voice'.

Two different voices, two different POVs, never the same.
