Question:

J1/J2 insurance for myself and my daughter Dear Mr. or Mrs, I want to buy an insurance plan for myself and my daughter on your website. I am a J1 visitor of the UW, for 1 year. the problem is, my daughter will arrive in the US. two monthes later after I arrive first. So, i am comfused, how shall I buy our plans? Shall I buy a 2 monthes for myself first and then buy a new one for my daughter and I ? I wish you can help me. Thank you very very much! P.S: The plan i am interested in is the Visitors Care or the Inbound USA. with my great thanks,

Answer:

In that case, You have to apply for your daughter once she comes to USA. For you, You can purchase right now. Inbound USA meets the requirements NOT Visitors Care. Here is the link to purchase this insurance online, /safe-travels-elite-insurance/ If you have any questions, please let me know.


Sorry, is it possible for me to buy inbound USA for myself for onlly 2 monthes and then change to ATLAS America for my daughter and me for 10 monthes? Thank you very much!


You can not purchase Atlas America if you are on J1 visa. That plan does not meets the J1 visa requirements.


I feel very very sorry for bothering again. can i ask for why Atlas America does not meet the J1 Visa requirements? I found on ***** which said it does? I am a J1 visiting scholar for 1 year. I prefer this plan because it is a family friend one. Again, thank you very very much!!


I can't really comment on the knowledge, expertise of other agents or accuracy of their web sites. We are the largest international health insurance broker in the USA and have been in business for a long time. But I know for sure that Atlas America does NOT meet the J1 visa requirements. The reason: J1 visa regulations require that you get minimum $50,000 per every injury/sickness. However, the policy maximum in Atlas America is life time maximum and not per injury/illness. Please look at the plans at /j1-visa-health-insurance/ that meet all J-1 visa requirements. Visit USA among them is the most popular one. You can also look at the J1 visa requirements at /exchange-visitor-insurance/ Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any other questions.


Thank you so much for professional explainations! I will buy the Inbound USA plan then. Can I add my Child in my plan after I bought it 2 monthes later? I am so appreciated for your helps. Again, thanks so much!


Unfortunately, you can't add the child later. You will have to either buy a separate policy for the child or buy a new policy for all of you. You can buy Inbound USA at /j1-visa-health-insurance/
