I understand your sentiments about the matter I mean it is ideal and advantageous at some point, but on the other hand it also has disadvantages. Its not certain if everyone can get a job after a month, or what if your petitioner/spouse doesn't have private health insurance that can cover the beneficiary. 
(As for the health insurance its a must to have especially in US, and I'm not saying not to have it. What I meant is that with all the requirements stated in that proclamation it will submit a lot of applicants into scrutiny)
 
I don't know the new proclamation thoroughly  but you can enlighten me about the matter.

10k-100k is a rather big difference and that doesn't really say anything. Let's assume I'm able to spare 50k, that will probably cover 95% of all common medical issues. Now say I get some serious form of cancer, that 100k wouldn't even cut it. 
 
Now it's no secret that medical insurance doesn't cover everything either, so you could potentially end up in the same financial mess. 
 
That being said, I wasn't asking because I don't want medical insurance (not because I'm required, but because I personally want it). I was asking for practical reasons. I will have to prove to the immigration officer whether or not I have the financials to pay for it. And I would like to know how to do that. 
 
We can buy some overpriced plan somewhere just to meet these dumb requirements, or we can try to prove we don't need it because we have the money, and get some decent, affordable insurance once we've both settled in the US and have jobs. 
 
Doesn't that make sense? 

Have you tried shopping for heath insurance lately?! A few months ago, I was quoted $450-$685 per month for 1 person in California! That's a lot of money by any stretch of imagination! Of course this will be temporary till one can get their spouse under their work insurance, but still this isn't going to be affordable for a lot of folks, specially if the petitioner is not getting health ins. through employer!

I see, at least this gives us hope that TSC is somehow doing something... Hopefully we all get an approval soon

Great idea! Have a joint sponsor on standby too.

I see Texas is currently approving April and May. I saw one June filer was approved so far at TX. So close!

Hi guys my husband filed last Aug as well.
Married; April 19,2018
I can't clearly recall the date when he mailed it but the NOA1 date is Aug 23, 2018-Texas Service Center
 
I saw in other threads that some June filers are starting to get approved usually from Potomac service center (w/c by the way according to their processing times table thay range from 9.5 to 12.5mos so they are clearly moving fast). Hopefully the other service centers move fast as well.
