Immigrants and Non-Immigrants Residing
in the U.S. 
We Will Consider
Permanent Residents as evidenced by “green card,”
“white card,” I-155 or I-551 identification. (For Visa 
type EB-5-
”Immigrant Investors creating employment.”
The client must own a business that has been viable 
for at least two years.)
Individuals who have had their permanent visa 
petition approved and the only outstanding item is the 
actual visa number.
To verify the application status we will 
need the 13-digit visa application number. 
The number may include letters or symbols,
but should not have dashes or spaces. 
Individuals who have been granted Asylum.
Temporary Residents who intend to remain in the U.S.
and have Visas that are more easily changed to a long 
term or permanent status.
F-1,2 Academic Students and family members
M-1,2 Vocational student and family
N-8,9 Parent or child of Special Immigrant 
V-1,2 Spouse or child of Permanent Resident
Others may be considered on an individual case basis.
Proposed insureds residing in the U.S. 1 year or more
with the intent and ability to lawfully remain in the
U.S. for at least 5 years may be considered for all
plans and riders subject to our normal underwriting
guidelines. Restrictions and/or additional underwrit-
ing requirements may be required to consider pro-
posed insureds who have been residing in the U.S. for
a shorter duration.
In most situations, if the Visa/ID type, number and
expiration date are provided and are consistent with
other information in the application, additional doc-
umentation may not be necessary.
When additional documentation is necessary,
depending on the immigration status indicated, any 
or all of the following might be requested as evidence
of the visa and status:
• A copy of the passport with the visa stamp and 
the Arrival and Departure Record (I-94)
• The permanent resident ID card
• Correspondence from the USCIS approving the 
petition for a permanent visa
• A valid Employee Authorization Document 
(EAD) card. (EAD cards are not proof of the 
individual’s ability to remain in the U.S., but are 
recommended by the USCIS for use as a 
government-issued photo ID.)
Illegal aliens will not be considered for any amount
of insurance regardless of the length of residency.
