New Immigrant Insurance

Question:

I would like to buy your short-term insurance but I'm hesitating which one is the best for me and my family. We became Lawful Permanent Residents of the US in 2017 (through Green Card). We had a trip first to the US (I can be called "activation trip" for Green Card) for 2 weeks in July 2017. Later, we got back to our country for preparation for permanent moving to the US. Right now we are moving to the US and I need temporary insurance for me and my family (wife and child) before I enroll to ACA plan (I can enroll only after arrival, not before). Which plan should I pick up for temporary (up to 1 month) protection of health insurance in our case? Insurance for New Immigrants plans? Or Insurance for Green Cards visitor plans? I believe insurance for New Immigrants plan. However, I'm not sure about it, because we activated our immigrant status in 2017 by activation trip (where we got the Green Cards). I'm not sure what exactly does mean "immigrant" in case of health insurance - achieve immigrant status or starting permanent living as the immigrant?
