requirements for be in my husband insurance

[summer0492 4]

Hi! I was wondering if anybody here can help me with an issue we are having at this moment..

I am in the US with a K1 visa, got married and on the process of my AOS ( just done my biometric appointment). My husband is going to be hired pretty soon for the company he has been working for about an year.. so I am supposed to be added in his insurance once he gets hired.

the issue is...I don't have a SSN ( I applied after I got married, but it was too close to the 90 days expiring visa) and now I cant apply until I will get my work permission. Is there a way I can still be in his insurance right away? Perhaps using my alien number..? I have been reading online about the Obamacare, but I didn't get an answer.. and also we called the insurance that will cover my husband and they weren't helpful at all (they said he needs to talk with he Human Resource that are hiring him....)

any suggestions and help would be more than appreciated!

thanks

It varies by employer, but my place of work allowed me to add my wife and it was effective upon our marriage. She doesn't have an SSN yet, and they just said to enter it once we get it. All we needed was a copy of our marriage certificate. You're husband should contact HR at his workplace and see what his options are.

thanks! I'll have him contact the HR tomorrow!
