Health Insurance Renewal while waiting for NOA2

[gomes + MF 3]

I have a tricky question for us citizens that are in the process of bringing their loved ones (finally!) over here with the K1 visa.

We are still waiting for the NOA2 like A LOT of us in this website (it has been exactly 4 months now and no sign of anything) and we are expecting that my fiancee will be coming to the US with the visa in hands around April 2018.

However, nothing is guaranteed, especially with these waits we are having.

The issue i'm writing here is the following: I need renew/update my health insurance status in the next 10 days for the year of 2018.

And events such as getting married affects health insurance directly.

Should I state to the health insurance provider that I will be getting married even though nothing is confirmed in the sense of her physically being in the country (USCIS could finish everything up by January 2018 as well as January 2019), or should I not mention this 'family size change' as in fact it hasn't happened yet and there is truly no expected date for it?

I'm very uncertain how to deal with this, and any help will be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks!
Victor

You are not married yet so there is nothing you can declare to the insurer. You should be able to update your insurance and add your spouse to it when you marry.

Simple, and straight to the point. Thank you!

You can make necessary adjustments to your health insurance (outside of the annual open enrollment) typically within a certain number of days upon the occurrence of a major life event such as birth, death, divorce or marriage.
