Hello, I've posted here before but still have no answers. Has anyone else been in a similar situation and can provide any answers?

 

My spouse arrived here on B1/B2 visa in early December and we decided to get married in late January. She has now overstayed her visa.

 

Long story short, she does not have a state ID (since she has overstayed?), she does not have SSN/ITIN, both of us do not have health insurance and I cannot afford the private ones. I contacted my HR department but they were not of much help stating that I have passed the special eligibility enrollment period and I cannot enroll until Marketplace opens in November. The only solution I see is to get short-term health insurance but it would not be ACA- compliant. Would this be okay or should I figure out a way to pay $$$ for private insurance?

 

Note: She does have a degree in Medicine and plans to pursue being a doctor here so that would be a huge positive factor, but I am still cautious of submitting the application without having health insurance. 

So she’s now out of status?  Aren’t you worried she will be deported?

Why this for the profile pic?  Often in movies and on TV when they show Hawaii they show this beach/view. So, instead of doing Kauai or some other locale, we decided to do here, so that whenever some show shows Hawaii and this view, we will see where we were married.

On VJ we tell it how it is.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I recommend doing whatever you have to do to buy private health insurance for both of you until your employer lets you enroll later this year, both you and your wife.  Now is not a time to risk going without health insurance, you could face financial ruin or at least many years of paying off medical bills if one or both of you got the virus and had a hospital stay.  Aside from immigration reasons, it is just good common sense to have health insurance.  For two young, healthy people, you should be able to find a private plan for a few months that is not too expensive.  Then use your job's enrollment period to sign both of you up.  Good luck!

@carmel34 Do you recommend getting it till end of November or end of December? Asking because you can enroll from late October/early November and I believe health insurance begins from the beginning of the year.
