Question:

Hi, I have a question about the suitable insurance plan for my wife. My wife is going to attend an interview for a J2 visa. If I understand it correctly, she is required to have a suitable insurance plan right on the date of interview. In addition, she will be enrolling into the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ("UIUC") and the university has its insurance requirements as follows: "If students purchase private insurance, there is a MINIMUM amount of coverage required as follows: a minimum of $500,000 per illness or injury per academic year no less than an 80%/20% benefit plan for inpatient, outpatient, surgical procedures, and mental health the maximum annual deductible of $5,000.00 or less. PLEASE NOTE: Students who purchase private health insurance must bring proof of coverage to the IEI office at the time of registration. This proof must be in English This proof must be in U.S. Dollars It must include information that shows the minimum coverage has been met." Therefore, please recommend if you have any insurance plan meeting the requirements of the US Department of State and of the UIUC. By the way, her period of stay range from August 5, 2019 to May 16, 2020 (approximately 9 months).
