Re: Health insurance query?
Thanks, I have come to know that there is a penalty for not having health insurance, In my case whilst i am waiting for my EAD, do i still have to pay a penalty?

Re: Health insurance query?
Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I was told recently by a healthcare Insurance broker, that if you are on a non resident visa (E2 for example) the ACA requirements do not apply to you and therefore you are not restricted to certain policies.
Anyone know if this is true, or if the guy is peddling me a tissue of lies

I go with the tissue, immigration residence and OCare residence are not the same.
And you do not need an EAD to buy Insurance. Once you have filed to adjust you are good to go.

The issue is that my local SSN office will not issue me with an SSN unless I have an EAD, and I am not aware of any insurance provider who doesn't ask for a SSN. All of the ones I have gone through ask for SSN

SSN is the first thing you get as a K1.
I am not aware of any Insurance Provider that requires a SSN.

So my local SSN office strictly states that they can not issue SSN unless I have EAD

I literally had a bank account and a half-full bottle of Gatorade when I went in to get my SSN. We hadn't even got married yet.

Think it was 4 or 5 months before I received my EAD.

A K-1 entrant can get a SSN only within the first 76 days in the USA. If it goes beyond that time, an EAD is required. I believe this is Kapan's situation.

Not what Kapan said, but assuming that is the case then still not an issue.

Noorah is right!
I made a mistake of not going there within the 90 day period in which my K1 was valid. Now that its expired they will not issue me with a SSN unless i present an EAD.
