The
American legal system is based on the idea that people are
responsible for knowing about and abiding by the laws and regulations
that affect them. To say, “I didn’t know about
that” or “no one told me that” is not an
excuse for violating the law.
Sensible students will make sure they buy
health insurance for their
dependents. Governmental regulations require dependents in
J-2 status to have health insurance, but dependents in F-2
status should have insurance also. Otherwise they may be responsible
for paying medical bills that amount to dozens of thousands
of dollars.
