<prompt> Human: Hi Personal Finance, I entered the US on a visitors visa in the fall of 2014. My wife and I got married in early 2015 and I applied for my Green Card. It was approved in June, and I started my new job in October of 2015 and have had employer health insurance ever since. Was I required to have health insurance while waiting for my adjustment of status and Green Card? Thanks PF you guys have saved my butt many times before!  <response>: Were you required to file a tax return? If no, you are automatically exempt based on income threshold
