@legitbachelor,what do you know about this new health insurance bill that’s about to be passed on the 3rd of next month,would people like us be affected and do you have an idea of how much the requirement is

Omokaba2019:
From what I just read,it will not affect K1 visa applicants.K1 visa is not a direct immigrant visa,but for immigrant visa e.g family related like the ones for spouses,parents and siblings are gonna be affected by the new policy.K1 visa applicants will still adjust their status after marriage to their US fiance/fiancee before they can attain immigrant status.
For those us that we are going for interview soon,let us continue to pray for favour during our interviews.Trump and his policies are targeted at reducing the number of immigrants coming to America.

@Innobeem,

Welcome to the States!

I will advise that you wait for about a week or two and then go ahead and apply for your Social Security Number, at your nearest Social Security Administrative office.

You will need to go with your International Passport and the print-out of your I-94 Form.

Can you also give us a brief about your interview experience, before you traveled?

Cheers!

LegitBachelor:
I don't think you will be affected. USCIS and the Embassies has to come up with a policy document based on this executive declaration from the White House.

I don't even know how USCIS and the Embassies will implement this new requirement. The requirement only says the immigrant should be insured within 30 days of entry into the States. It didn't say the insurance should be gotten before entry. So I wonder how USCIS and the Embassies can enforce this. Perhaps they will require a written commitment from the Petitioner that he/she will purchase an insurance plan for his/her fiancee within 30 days on entry or they might increase the Public Charge requirements (eg increase the % Federal Poverty Salary requirement from 125% to 250%). Lets watch and see. But personally I think the original Public Charge rule by USCIS should automatically take care of this new insurance requirement. I don't know why they want to enforce Public Charge rule and then come up with another rule on insurance. It's unnecessary if you ask me. Anyone who meets the Public Charge rrquirement should naturally be able to take care of his/her beneficiary's healthcare cost.

But one thing I know for sure is that this policy, if it comes into force, will affect anyone seeking visa for permanent entry into the States, be it fiancee visa or immigrant visa.

Sukey:

Yes it says that the beneficiary should be insured within 30 days but,to be granted a visa,the beneficiary must be able to prove that he or she would be able to cover the cost,their aim is to cut prospective immigrants from having access to free health care so they won’t even let you unless you prove that you won’t be relying on their healthcare from what I read

LegitBachelor:
Exactly. So my thinking is this....how can one prove that he or she will be able to cover the cost? Isn't the 125% income requirement not enough?

Sukey:


The 125% is just to prove that you won’t be a public nuisance to them,and whatever your spouse is earning would be enough to fend for the both of you so I’m thinking that they’ll probably give us a certain amount of money that would be the minimum requirement maybe 50-100k dollars,if that is the case then,person don enter gbese be that

rekeson:
Exactly my thought as well.
But na to borrow plenty money put for account show them na.

LegitBachelor:
Also go with your Birth Certificate. Some SSAs request for it. Welcome to the States.

Hello house. Please is the K1 portal for interview different from the other visa portal? I cancelled the earlier date I got Cos I needed to take care of some pressing issues. Now I can’t seem to get a date.

Sukey:




I just checked my portal now and there are available dates for December,i have a date for late November and I’ve been checking everyday to see if I can get an earlier date and I’ve not been able to get one,how were you able to get an early date?

Omokaba2019:
Good evening house,I got my Packet 4 from the embassy today.I don't reside in Lagos,can I obtain my police clearance certificate outside Lagos.

Glorioussugar:



I got for last week in September. But there were some issues I had to take care of then. Now I’m can’t seem to get any date in October . My petition expires in November .

LegitBachelor:
Is there any November or December (or even January or February!) date? If there is, I advice you choose it immediately. It's better to go for a november or december interview than to be disqualified and not be able to go at all for any interview.

Glorioussugar:


Ok. I’ll do that. I saw in another forum The there is available date for other visa category. Please are the dates different from K1 dates?

Sukey:
@legitbachelor, why is the embassy sending packet 4 to k1 applicants with instructions on how to schedule interview for a spouse based visa,my financee got a mail today and it’s packet 4 instead of 3,and the police certificate thing,is it only Lagos I can get it or I can do it anywhere is it says on the packet that it should be gotten at alagbon.ive also been checking for earlier dates as my petition expires very early in December and my interview is late November.i really do not want to be caught in between the mix up,how come k1 dates are different from other dates?
