USA Health Insurance

While waiting for the CR1 to process and living in the USA, how do I get any kind of medical insurance without a green card or state driver license?

How are you living in the US?  You are not a legal resident until you have entered the US with a valid CR-1 visa.  Your health care choices will probably be very limited until then.  You might be able to get coverage through your spouse's employer plan.

I’m a bit unclear of your current status. Could you please complete your timeline please? Thank you.

My wife got medical insurance and she didn't have a greencard or a driver's license.

I was able to add my wife on my insurance without her green card or state ID.

your spouse  should go to his/her employer with proof of your marriage (marriage certificate) and they should be able to put his/her on your plan coverage, at least that is what Ive been told when i asked how I get my wife on my coverage.

As long as the window for adding after a life event is still open, otherwise they will need to wait for open enrollment.

you are right!!! I forgot that little detail... hehehe.  I am wondering as my wife still lives in Guatemala (we are waiting for the visa) if her visa approval and consequent move in would be a qualifying event. otherwise i dont know what im going to do.. hehehe

It only takes a quick look at the qualifying life events to make that determination.   I think you will be pleasantly surprised

USAA doesn't allow to add without SSN.

You don't tell them its a placeholder.   They will figure it out in December or January when they verify ssn's for tax reports
