Hello,

 

I had a question for you guys! My now wife is adjusting her status from a K1 visa, I have already received NOA1s for all three applications (I-485, 765, 131). I was trying to get health insurance for her from the marketplace or healthcare.gov, I just wanted to know if I do get health insurance for her from the marketplace or healthcare.gov, would that count as a public charge? would that cause any issues in the future in regards to her green card or EAD? I can get health insurance from my company, but because so much was going to get deducted per pay period, I wanted to know if healthcare.gov was an option.. I have done research on this topic, but I have received different answers, so I'm a little confused right now..

Most unusual for an Exchange plan to be less than an Employer.

I agree, this is very unusual, especially when taking into account deductibles, etc. 

 

Regarding health insurance during AOS:

Do you have numbers to compare?  How much will the exchange plan be, and how much will your employer plan be?  Remember, you have to use your household income (since you would be MFJ) when calculating the ACA subsidy.
