This thread was also very helpful for details on buying temporary insurance, but I was wondering about children who will become USC upon entry? I can't find temporary insurance for myself (USC) and 2 kids from here as the immigrant insurance seems to apply only for non-USC. And we don't have a US address/zipcode yet so I can't otherwise apply for insurance. Also not sure if the 6 month waiting period for health insurance applies to all new residents (i.e also USC)?

Has anyone had any similar experience?

I just got the impression that it was for non-US citizens and that it ceases once you become a USC. Although I do see now that they have short term insurance options on the www.buyamericaninsurance.com website as well which don't seem to have a non-USC requirement. So will see if I can manage anything on that.

I don't really want to take out the health insurance now for the interview (as we don't have a travel date yet so not sure what to put in as a start date) but I do want something in place by the time we get there (hopefully July/Aug) so we're at least covered until we qualify for longer term
insurance.

I've read a couple of posts indicating London have sometimes requested medical insurance coverage and thought it would be useful to have a post on it.

Can anyone who has experienced this please post here and also detail where you got your medical insurance from, what the coverage was, for how long, whether docs can be printed from online etc. Also whether the embassy accepted it.

Thanks,

James
