  1. Just asked my Dad - the first year he turned 80 and lost his old travel insurance he used StaySure and it was actually £1000, But last year he swapped to Nationwide through his bank account there. He pays £13 a month for the FlexPlus account and that allows him to get their annual travel insurance for £265 a year.
  2. I'm not sure - I'm guessing it covers emergency care and repatriation to home country as soon as medically possible - that's usually the standard coverage when buying travel insurance in the UK - I don't believe it would cover any other kind of medical need apart from an emergency. He does have several existing medical conditions which I assumed also made it so high - I'm surprised to find that others think it's a good deal! Seemed very expensive to me after decades of just paying $50-70 a year! And as Boiler said up thread it does have a limit to length of time per trip - he can't stay for more than 30 days - so usually comes for about 3 weeks at a time. Luckily (thank goodness) we haven't had to test it out yet in the last two years he's bought it.
  3. OMG it does. My Dad visits regularly and before 80 he had a great travel insurance through his bank which was something like $70 for the whole year. The second he turned 80 they wrote and said it no longer applied and they didn't insure over 80s. The best deal he could get for a yearly travel insurance was $800. He pays it because there's no other option. He comes over to see me about 3-4 times a year so it's worth it I guess!
  4. I'm sorry I misread your reply and thought you were referring to the OPs remarks about the physical presence denial. It's very important that the OP confirms that the CRBA denial because of physical presence was accurate before filing the I-130 because we have seen several parents on here wasting a lot of time waiting for that approval and then potentially being told that their child couldn't qualify for the immigration visa because they were already a US citizen. They end up in a kind of weird limbo that takes a lot of time to sort out. And yes I know what a N600K and an N600 is - you don't need to reply so rudely. I've been on this site since 2007 and round the block quite a few times with these processes.
  5. Also - It's important to establish this status definitely before applying for the I-130 for the baby because people in the past have got caught out by being eligible for CRBA, not realising, filing the I-130 waiting ages for approval to be told they don't qualify for an immigration visa because the baby is already a citizen. If you are sure that your husband cannot meet the conditions for CRBA and you file the I-130 - you have the following options: - delay your process until the baby's application catches up. - do your interview and get the visa. Leave the baby with a relative while you fly to the USA - get passport stamped as your effective greencard and fly back home while you wait for baby's interview. If you do this one you'll have to work on timings so that you aren't out of the USA for longer than six months after getting your passport stamped. The good news is that if you have to go the I-130 route then your baby will be able to immediately apply for proof of citizenship with N600 as soon as they enter.
  6. I don't think that's true. The physical presence requirement is about whether the US citizen has lived in the US for at least five years before the child was born with at least two of those five years being after the age of 14. OP - are you saying your husband did not live in the US as a citizen for five years before the baby was born?
