Mrs Stefano

I see. I did not pay my fine to court. Instead, I paid through the traffic school for my defensive driving class. At the end of the class, I received a certificate of completion course. After whole afternoon of searching, I finally found it. Thanks for your advice. 

I’ll try to request typo error.

You need to scan and upload a 2x2 Photo of you. 
Not necessary 

This is what the admin in our GC says.

It wasn't really a mistake. I just had to amend my petitioner’s info such as address, contact number and employer. 
 
During your interview, just inform the officer about that matter, and they will be the one to determine if there is a need to edit your DS260

My husband’s Federal Income Tax Return consists of 25 pages all. 
 
If you want it safe, upload the IRS tax transcripts. It only consists 2-3 pages.

No

A US police certificate is not required.

I don’t know about the CR1, but for the K1 my wife didn’t need one and she was also here in the US with a J1

During the interview with the CO (after the pre-screener), if needed, the CO can correct the typos or oops in the DS-260.

I've called the US Embassy in Manila, Philippines 3 times asking about the health care insurance directive and none of them (including one supervisor) have not a clue as to what I'm referring to or talking about. Maybe Manila was left out of the loop and didn't get the memo. I have 13 year old immigrant who will have an interview on November 12. She had her physical and is in perfect health, has zero health issues, so I assume (maybe incorrectly) that the counselor officer would not have a concern that she would pose a health risk in the next year. Also, I've not found a way to buy health insurance for a 13 year old, she is not our daughter, she is my wife's younger sister, so she can't be included on our health insurance. Does anyone know of a company that would sell a policy to a 13 year old? 

I certainly recommend it regardless of the proclamation or not. 

Case in point, there was a recent article via Reuters I remember reading about the very topic of this thread, and how frustrated USCs were calling up insurance companies and getting the runaround. Again the phone person told the USC that they couldn't add them because of the SSN (the insurer was Kaiser). Reuters reached out to the CEO of Kaiser who quickly corrected his own phone person. That of course does not stop insurance company employees from continuing with bad information. But facts are facts, you need to keep pushing it up the chain. I can assure you that no rude person on the phone is going to bother or care looking at the 'evidence' supplied to them. Ignorance is bliss in such jobs. It's no different than dealing with people at Verizon, ATT... tech support.. ya know.. that sort of thing.
 
Now HR really doesn't have any excuses. They should know better. And the own SSA and DMV should also know better every time I see a thread talking about how an employee's actions caused harm.

I know what a SSN is. I may be new here, but I wasn't born yesterday.
 
I'm completely with you there, but it seems more common than not that insurers and HR departments are not following what you call "common sense". 
 
My suggestion in my last post was about informing everyone here that insurers are not required to have a SSN to provide coverage, and point them to a credible source of this information (whether it is legislation, guidelines, or bullet point list of requirements). 
 
If an insurer or HR rep says "give me your SSN or we won't provide coverage", then all we would have to do is send them a copy of that information, or point them to that credible source to persuade them otherwise. 
 

It applies to anybody.
If somebody was denied coverage due solely to a lack of SSN, it was done improperly.

My spouses insurance did not allow him to add me without an SSN. For those who were successful did you have to provide a passport number etc?

Does anyone have any guesses as to whether travel insurance will be acceptable and what level might be required? I couldn't add my spouse under my employment based insurance without an SSN (and admittedly wasn't worried about it at the time because was just planning to add him once he arrived during our open-enrolment period, though the timeframes for this don't add up anymore). We are willing to buy travel insurance or short-term to cover him until my open enrollment period (which will be more than 30 days after his arrival in the US) but the lack of guidance means we don't even know where to start with coverage levels. 
 
If anyone has any ideas/suggestions as to what kind of stop-gap insurance to look into, I am all ears. And feeling desperate
