What's Acknowledgement of Application Received? Is that a grant letter? Sorry if this sounds silly but I'm currently on a BVA waiting for 820 to be granted.

Do you know if I can apply for medicare?

When you apply online for the 820 you get an email that acknowledges receipt of your application. That email is what you need.

And yes, you can apply. I got Medicare straight away after applying for my 820.

I haven't seen anyone who's asked this question in come back and say they didn't get it, and I think it'd be pretty big news if they changed it. Let us know how you go! If they give you any trouble, ask for a supervisor.

Mine automatically came in the mail again, too, until I got my green card. Never had to go back in.
