I was covered as a dependent under my husband's Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. My job offers a health plan through Highmark Blue Shield. I am a permanent resident with a 2-year conditional Green Card, which provides me strong evidence to extend it to a 10-year Green Card and for my us citizenship application in the next 3 years from now. Am I in any trouble with the U.S. government if I continue to be dependent on my husband's health insurance?

It's perfectly legal to stay on your husband's insurance so many spouses do this.

Health insurance choices don’t affect your Green Card or citizenship application.

Being on your spouse’s plan shows a real, shared life — which supports your immigration case.

The U.S. government won’t penalize you for being on private health insurance, even as a dependent.
