Hey guys 👋

 

My husband (immigrant) and I (citizen) signed up for coverage through the Healthcare Marketplace Exchange since my job does not provide insurance.

 

They are asking for proof of his immigration status and I just uploaded his I-797 for his I-485 but I'm worried because of course at the top it says "this does not provide immigration status or benefits".

 

I know while our case is processing he is in authorized stay. Has anyone else encountered this? I have no idea if they will accept the I-797 though it does list I-797 as an acceptable document.

 

Any advice appreciated, not sure what we will do regarding health insurance if this doesn't work...

Or maybe so if the i=485 is considered temporary protected status "

  • Temporary Protected Status with Employment Authorization"

Not sure how I misread that :)  I think I was thinking it read an adjustment from LPR ..

I had trouble to sign up via online so I ended up calling Kaiser Permanente and explained my situation. It took like an hour on the phone but it worked. I did this before the enrollment period for 2021 ended (in decenber 15th) so not sure how this works now.

We signed up during open enrollment and have a health plan but they want proof of immigration status to keep said health plan. I uploaded the I-797 and they havent said anything yet 😕
