Insurance between POE and marriage

Good thinking. I took out two months of insurance from these guys:

This is great! I'm going to look into it this evening. My wife has been w/o insurance since Jan and even though we've been married for over 2 months and she has her SSN, my insurance (or any of the new companies where I was looking) wouldn't let me add her until she has her GC. It could be a few more months until that happens...

Okay guys and girls. This is a question to all, but specifically Brits.

Anyone who has recently moved to the USA on a K1 visa. Did you insure yourself between the period of POE and marriage?

All being well we will be married within a week of my arrival, and on my fiancee's(by then wifes) medical policy by the beginning of May. But is there any way to insure yourself medically in the interim. Or do I just have to wrap myself in cotton wool for a week

I don't think that regular travel insurance from the U.K would cover this. But I just wanted to ask other peoples opinions and thoughts first.

Thanks for reading

We went with SevenCorners for the time between POE and marriage. I always think it's better to be safe just in case! And by the way, you'll be in Roanoke? Only 2 hours from Harrisonburg, where my husband and I live! Good luck with interview. My then fiance said it was very non-eventful!

Yeah, your UK travel insurance will not cover it. Here's a couple of options:

Thanks for the good luck wishes, and the recommendation of SevenCorners. Actually we are in the next town over, Salem. Gorgeous part of the country.

Remember the snow of December 18th 2009. I got stuck on I-81 overnight, on the way to see Crystal, because VDOT weren't ready for it. That was an adventure.
