I was told that the waiting times for E-Visas is 16 weeks,

Have the lead times come down now that the summer period is over and what are realistic times from your experiences?

Secondly what is the average cost of comprehensive medical cover in the US for a family of 4, two adults and two children?

&

Two adults lets say 59 & 66 respectively?

Any ideas on the E-Visa & Medical

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Ray

It can vary considerably 3-40 weeks
At a guess $1000 a month maybe more
No medical required for E-2 visa ..its a non-immigrant visa ..

Single family deductible plan $2,200 annual deductible

$8,000,000 lifetime policy limit

80/20 (max out of pocket expense per occurance $4,000)

Rx and doctor visits.
(no maternity, so I hope you daughter doesn't get knocked up anytime soon........)

$730 per month.


although you'd be denied as my company doesn't write anyone over 64 years of age, so that's the age I quoted.

Thanks for the info buddy, my daughters only 4 years old!!!!!!!

Manc

have you thought of the ramifications of what happens to your kids on an E visa when they turn 21?

bbb1969

Well all things being equal they will have a solid education, if not the law may have changed or purchase my business, become partner/s etc...

You're not moving to Florida then?

bbb1969

Florida Buddy, i hope so.

Bob

more to the point, what if things go tits-up...you'll be booted...and no business, you'll have to go, so no, you couldn't retire here without a greencard, not full time...and there's no direct route to a greencard from the E2.

bbb1969

Hey look, you got to be positive, things change, and may be for the better...

Bob

you should read the thread about florida then...

Bob

that's true, but you've got to be realisitic...immigration changes are rarely for the good...but good luck with your venture none the less

Good luck then. Mind where you step, its a bugger spraining your ankle on the gold nuggets laying in the street when you've no health insurance.
