We already have the interview scheduled in September so he could arrive after that. The problem is he needs to enter the country before I am allowed to enroll him on my specific insurance. My insurance specifically cited the need to have verification of an activated visa to qualify for insurance. If it looks like, as someone said above, we can’t have him enter in November and the leave otherwise we are tax liable, then he will have to come over in December. That gives me a very tiny window to enroll him so there is no gap in coverage.

I’m sure they could, but the problem is the HR office may not process anything between the 25th of December and the 2nd of January. I’ve sent an email e quoting about it but haven’t received a response.

We are concerned about a gap in insurance. With his notice period we are looking at the end of December for his permanent move to the US. However hr ia closes during the holidays and he must be registered before the 1st to receive healthcare coverage for the next month. That could lead to over a months gap in health insurance, which we do not want.

So my husband and I are now at the stage where we are waiting for his interview, woo! However, until he has his interview he is (wisely) not handing in his notice. He has a 3 month notice period, which then complicates the timing for him being added to my health insurance when he arrives. So, our idea was to have him come over a month after his interview, during his notice period, activate his visa/green card, and then return to the UK to finish serving his notice. One issue we realized is the green card is listed as needed the intended recipient there to receive the card. I was also unsure if the social security card is the same way. I have seen that it is possible to have someone else listed to sign for you, however we were unsure when we would do that. Is that something that would be instructed/signed off on when my husband enters the US, or does he receive and email from the green card services where he can designate someone who is allowed to sign off on the card delivery? Thanks for the help.
