Health Insurance

[EduardoP 5]

Sorry my bad English, I've lived in Brazil since I was a child.
I'm living in Massachussets since last year, and want to bring my fiance next year (k1 visa). 
I know that when she moves to the USA, she can't use a publicly assisted health insurance.
But what about me, at this moment? 
 My income is been good enough to be my wife's sponsor next year, and at a same time I'm qualified in Connectorcare Plan (for now, I'm alone in the USA).
  If do I want to bring my wife next year, there is a problem if I have a publicly assisted health insurance, at a same time that I will be the sponsor?
  If there is a problem, do I have to cancel my insurance now, or just next year, when I will be filling for her K1 Visa?

Are you a US citizen?

Yes, I was born here, but I went to Brazil when I was 4 years old

You can't get a K-1 visa for your wife. Or are you planning on bring both your wife and your fiancée? Pretty sure that won't work either.

Thank you for reply. Sorry, she is not my wife yet, she is my fiancée.

Be very careful with not calling her your wife so USCIS/US embassy can hear or see it then.. people have been denied K-1 visas because they believed the couple was already married.

At this moment, I am single and she is divorced. 
We was living together from December/2013 to September/2016 (when I came to the USA), but we NEVER got married. Is this a problem for K1 visa?

It's not a problem that you are single and that she is divorced. 

 

What could be a potential problem is when people call each other wife/husband (without being married) in chats/texts/emails etc and then use those chats/emails/texts as proof of on-going relationship. The immigration officer will see that and think the two are already married and therefore deny the K-1 visa. Same thing happens to many people who have a engagement party and/or some kind of pre-wedding celebration that looks similar to a wedding, if the IO gets such pictures s/he might think the couple is already married and deny them the visa.

 

That's why I'm telling you to be very careful with calling her your wife when she in fact isn't your wife. You don't want to get denied because of something as stupid as that.

Thank you! I'll be careful!
