K1 Visa Medical Insurance
Hi guys,
I've searched the forums as well as the net and stumbling a bit...
We just got my K-1 visa approved on Thursday, flights booked for 20th Feb, due to be married 9th March! :-)
I'm worried about medical insurance and WHAT type to get... Technically the K-1 is a non-immigrant visa right? So would just regular travel insurance cover me for the first 90 days?
Once we submit AOS and I get my green card I should get access to better insurance rates? Or am I making that up?
Does anyone else have any experience in this?
I was in the US a few years back on an H4 visa using travel insurance with no problems - I had to use it, trip to the ER via firetruck / ambulance, MRI scan X-rays etc etc Even with the insurance I still ended up paying a few thousand dollars so understandably it's something I'm VERY cautious about!!
Thanks again for all your help!!

Once you come in on the K-1 you wait about 2 weeks and can apply for your social security number, you can then be added to your spouses. insurance plan...
