Anti-vaxxer and I-693
EMBELL_17 replied to EMBELL_17's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
She is adamant it’s unavailable from the UK. She’s also lived in several countries over her life. She thinks she can get antibodies testing so she won’t have to redo the vaccines. Is that sufficient? And it looks like she will also be forced to get the Covid booster and the flu shot on top of whatever else she might need for her age? -
We received an RFE for the I-693 for my mom. She does not want any vaccinations. She is so against it, she is considering dropping the application completely. Can she get a waiver from the doc on these grounds? The issue is it’s not like she’s never received vaccines. She got 1 or 2 Covid vaccines because it required for her work but generally is quite against them. She also can’t locate her vaccine records so if she’s required to get the vaccines, she might be getting some she already received. What are her options? Will she get denied if she gets a waiver (if even possible)?

I filed my I-130 on 8/25. I just checked online and the myprogress tab says 5 months. I haven’t received a receipt for the i485 but the check was deposited on 10/1 so fingers crossed by mom gets at least an A number soon.

I’m looking for a thread here for those who have filed the I-130 and I-485 for a parent who is already in the U.S.? USCIS (IL) received the I-485 on 9/25. I filed the I-130 online on 8/25.

I meant marketplace sorry

Yes Medicare was extremely expensive for me due to income. I used a broker and it’s actually better healthcare than my employer-based insurance. I have HMO though completely employer paid including deductible but still low tier. The one I just got my mom is PPO.
-
Because she is in my household, she does not qualify for Medicaid because of my income. I do intend on getting her her own home in 2 years so she should qualify then. For now, we are going private with United at $350/mo premium, no deductible but it is conditional so it’s reviewed and renewed every 2 years. If we did auto renew, I would be paying about $500/mo at $5000 deductible but it would never be reviewed or reconsidered.

When my husband did it for me, my financial condition did not matter. My understanding is they care only the sponsor’s finances.
-
I am sponsoring and I am well over the poverty limit chart. My mom needs to show her assets back in the UK? I wasn’t aware that was a requirement. She owns a home but her goal is to live here in the US with me.
-
Yes it’s something we think about often. Currently she is using private insurance but it expires soon so we have to figure out our next move. It is very expensive but having her here saves me on childcare so if pretty much just be pumping what I save back to her health insurance. I just want to know what’s more cost efficient. It sounds like private is the only way until the 10 year wait is up.
-
I meant pay into Medicare my understanding is if she works for 10 years and pays into Medicare she can qualify for premium free part A Medicare. I understand we will be paying a hefty amount until then and we are prepared to pay it. We definitely have considered it but haven’t made the decision but I’m sorry that you think we are irresponsible. Either way she’s been going back and forth for over a year so we need to file or they won’t let her back in.

Filing for my mom - do I have everything?

That is my biggest concern. I haven’t dug into this issue enough. I’m thinking I could hire her as my nanny so she can pay into social security otherwise we will have to go private or buy into Medicaid. I haven’t sat down and gone through the numbers. Do you have any suggestions?

It asked me to fill in my income for all 3 years but only requested me to attach most recent year transcript. Thats no problem through. I’ll add 2022 and 2021. Thank you!
-
The instructions said I only needed one for the most recent year. I need the other years too? And yes it’s a transcript!
-
Oops sorry. All these different numbers and forms! Thanks!
