PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION ON HEALTH CARE

[Ronniesu 2]

Hello everyone,

 

I quote this statement form the NVC case number email that sent to me regarding CR1 process.

I have no idea what that means and does it affect CR1 interview or entry to the US.

 

Thank you

It's in regards to possibly being a public charge. So if you are able not to be on Medicaid then you are good to go

This relates to the new DS-5540 public charge form (which you may be asked to provide at interview). The form specifically asks about plans to obtain health insurance, your savings and employment prospects. See thiswebsite: https://cliniclegal.org/resources/ground-inadmissibility-and-deportability/public-charge/state-departments-new-fam-public

 

The DS-5540 asks if the applicant is currently covered by health insurance in the United States and, if so, to attach evidence of it. If the applicant is not currently covered, the form asks if he or she will be covered within 30 days of admission. If so, the applicant is to identify the health insurance plan and indicate the date coverage will begin. This last question relates to the Presidential Proclamation mandating that most immigrant visa applicants either possess health insurance or express the ability to purchase it within 30 days of admission. Thatproclamation is currently enjoined, but the DS-5540 nevertheless asks this question.

It is a heavily weighted positive factor if the applicant has “private health insurance for use in the United States covering the period the applicant is expected to remain in the United States.” But there is no equivalent negative factor if the applicant does notevidence having any health insurance.

Thank you for your response.

 

There are some confusion when i check out the ds-5540 form.

"Will you be covered by health insurance in the US within 30 days of your entry"- how it is possible if I don't have SSN card and green card to buy an insurance plan?  and I need to identify specific insurance plan and date coverage will begin- How can I do that before I coming in to the US?

 

Thank you

Well I don't know if you're a spouse or other family member because your profile isn't filled out.

People who are doing it through their spouse would likely be on their insurance and can give details on that.

Otherwise you'll have to check the health exchange for the state you're going to live in.

That’s a good question about the SSN being a pre-requisite- one i’m hoping that more senior members of this forum might be able to answer.

SSN is a Social Security Number, you do not need one to buy Insurance.

Only good for non U.S. Residence.... Many of these plans aren't worth the paper they're written on for immigrants

Falls into the better than nothing category.

For a spouse moving to the US from overseas, would it be a good start, until he can get better insurance over here? And would it at least satisfy the requirements for the DS-5540?

[Boiler 46,311]

Unclear if it would meet the DS requirements, better to just get proper healthcare.

They would not pay a claim once they knew you're a U.S. Resident. I'd go with a non ACA domestic short term plan. Peace of mind with claims process and safe in the knowledge that the plan would not be null and voided.

That particular company certainly did a cover for new immigrants.

Thank you

It's very reasonable price plan but hopefully it can be accepted in DS5540 and also the the interview
