So in preparation for filling out the I-864, I have a question about getting health insurance for my fiance when she arrives in the states. As I understand it, the I-864 is supposed to show the government that your fiance won't become a "financial burden" on the USA, which means that I would be saying I would be able to support her and she wouldn't be allowed to use any kind of government funding. I currently have government-subsidized health care through the health care marketplace and thus assumed that my fiance would not be able to take advantage of the same benefit. However, this page claims otherwise: https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/lawfully-present-immigrants/
Does anyone have any clarification on whether my fiance will need to be completely responsible for paying for her own health care when applying for the green card? If lawful immigrants are entitled to government help for health care, why does the I-864 say otherwise? Thank you!
