FYI Open enrollment starts in November - you would have to wait until then to obtain health insurance.  

No you don't. Immigration is a qualifying life event. You can add them as soon as they enter and can provide a letter from your employer.

True. It is totally a qualifying life event.

Still, you @Clarebear101 may have to explain that (like we did in our case) to the insurance company because they seem super reluctant to any change before November. They finally accepted to have me on my husband's contract (starting August 1rst).

Also-- if this helps, I spoke to my work's insurance provider in anticipation and they told me that they can add my husband when he gets here if  he "lost insurance coverage due to moving," which, because he is a UK citizen, he does by default. I think the "loss of coverage" is easier for some of the insurance companies to accept as a qualifying life event than "moving to a foreign country".

Had my interview today in Amsterdam and got approved! 🤩 Had to wait 2-2,5 hrs for an interview that barely lasted 5 minutes, but thank God we made it. 

 

Interview was very easy. Only questions were how I met my spouse and how our long distance relationship went. 

 

Congratulations! Did you have your medical exam at DC klinieken? How long did you have to wait for the medical results to arrive at the embassy?

All set for my interview tomorrow and was fully anticipating going into AP due to only having my medical 5 days ago.

BUT....

When I left my medical appointment they told me I could email them the day before my interview to check if my medical results were submitted. I did that this morning and got a reply less than an hour later saying it was still going through the final checking process, that's it normally takes around 5 working days, but they'd speak to their colleague to try and push my medical through in time. I was expecting it not to be complete yet and the email as a bit of wishful thinking, but I was surprised at the level of kindness and helpfulness of the person who responded. Then... I got another email at 4PM from the same person to let me know that everything was submitted this afternoon!!!!

 

I am on cloud nine and cannot believe my luck right now. Hoping my embassy experience is as positive as my medical experience has been 🤞

That's great that they were so helpful and that you were able to have your medical submitted in time. Good luck on the interview tomorrow -- can't wait to hear how it goes.

You should get a response letting you know it’s being reviewed within a few days up to 10 days

I JUST got an email saying my expedite request was being reviewed. I sent it in last Friday 7/31
 

good luck to you! We didn’t have a “real emergency” but requested on the grounds that we were delayed by four months due to USCIS error and the beneficiaries career which is based on the US academic year. 
 

hoping for some extra leniency in this time

Felicidades 🎈🎊🎉!!!! 
 

It is so exciting to see approvals here in our side of the world! I’m so happy for you both! 
 

Can you tell us her experience? I think she is the first Latin American applicant that got approved so far.  After all this COVID mess I mean. 

Someone from Chile just posted on Facebook the Santiago embassy is allowing interviews one day a week, every other week starting now.  They had to schedule themselves online.  DQ of June 15th.

Submitted request on Friday for them to resubmit my approved request. We got London to agree in March to expedite but they said once they were processing again.

i just got my review email also 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I really hope they accept yours ASAP--especially since they already approved it once!

 

My only hope for us is that since they aren't really doing interviews right now for whatever reason maybe they will approve the expedite out of boredom 🤣
