Don't see why you couldn't. Find a carrier you like and call their customer service.

A lot will come up if you google it.

** Moving from AOS to Moving here and your New Life as not AOS process related ****

It will depend on the health insurance and your state's laws. In general yes, as long as you are legally resident, which you are (especially if you have filed for AOS). If your US spouse has health insurance through work, that should be your first port of call, they may be able to add you easily once you are married.

For someone coming from Westeren Euriope, the US health insurance is one of the worst systems in the developed world! I don't say the 'health care system' but the insurance. One of the best sites with tons of info is the official site of the department of health. Read everything about co-pay, deductables and what have you....

Can i get health insurance while waiting for me green card? If so how and what are some good health insurance companys to use?

Thanks
