They have dependency visas, under my husbands E2. I'm constantly getting differing information on this, so frustrating.

Hi,

We moved to Dallas, Texas a few months ago from London, UK. My husband and I applied for our social security numbers and have received them. We have been trying to sort out health insurance and were told that our 2 year old twins also need social security numbers before we can get health insurance sorted (they didn't mention this before for some reason.) So off I went back to the social security office last week, waited an hour, to be told that the kids aren't eligible for social security numbers as they are not dependants, huh?? My husband has an E-2 visa. The guy explained to me I need to apply for something else first from the USCIS service and office which will take 2/3 months to come through, I was so angry to be honest because what he was saying made no sense at all so haven't yet called the office as I just don't understand it.

Can anyone tell me in lamens terms what I need to actually do if you've been in this position, I'm so concerned about not having health insurance.

Thanks for any help,

Nat

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I really hope the children adjust to their new environment and new people around them, people keep telling me kids are resilient, lets hope so. Last thing we want to do is upset and confuse them.

Looking forward to getting there, hurry up visa!

Oh, and the food is what I'm MOST looking forward to there

Thanks! Have updated my info

Hiya!

I'm new here and wanted to say hello and speak to others who have moved from the UK to USA to see how you are finding the change! Myself and my family are moving in the next few months to Dallas as husband is opening a new business there. I am 29 and have 2 year old twins. Am very very excited for the move and also a bit scared and anxious about it all, It's going to be such a change from London! I'm hoping we will be happy there and hopefully meet some great friends! Its very hard for us to leave our family and friends behind in the UK but am sure we will enjoy our future in the US.
