  1. Did some follow up research on this as well: Healthcare.gov is definitely an option! I called their support line can got instructions. If you, like me and my wife, have private health insurance, no worries: start signing up on Healthcare.gov but choose the option "coverage for someone else." Your relatives will be listed as your dependents for both medical care and taxes. If you choose that they have serious medical concerns (which two of mine do), they will be granted coverage during the special enrollment period. The others can still enroll in Medicaid. All the best.
  2. Yes, to clarify all 4 got their travel authorization documents processed within hours of me posting them. As with everything YMMV. So sorry it's taking a long time for you; I might suggest inquiring by phone. If you feel like it's dead in the water, you could also possibly re-submit the request for travel authorization by creating a new myuscis.gov account with a new email address for the beneficiary(ies), then trying to re-import the receipt number. I also created a Travel Group for the four of them and this helped me get the requests created a little quicker, FWIW.
  3. Both Ukranians traveling through the Tijuana connection and Uniting for Ukraine applicants are granted humanitarian parole. I will contact Healthcare.gov Marketplace as recommended. Great news: I filed their applications post I-134 approval last night and I woke up to all 4 of them already being approved! So now we've got to move on this.
  4. Agreed, major concern! Bringing over 4 of my wife's family, her two parents both have health issues. I'm thinking foreign traveler's insurance. I also heard that humanitarian parolees through the Tijuna connection can get healthcare.gov free benefits, hope that applies to Uniting For Ukraine travelers as well.
  5. Lots of developments since this was first posted. Some acquaintances with 2 family members from Ukraine recently passed through the Tijuana connection with no delay. However that option is set to close on Monday and we were never comfortable with it for moving 4 of ours. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-launches-new-program-to-welcome-ukraine-refugees-but-no-longer-through-mexico However this new process, open for applications on April 25th, sounds promising. https://www.dhs.gov/news/2022/04/21/president-biden-announce-uniting-ukraine-new-streamlined-process-welcome-ukrainians
