This is not a criticism on op and her husband, I am an immigrant myself (not in Germany tho). One person moving to a wealthy EU country like Germany and then trying to move the rest of the family over via a reunification visa has been a "tactic" for so many years and one of the main reasons parties like the AfD in Germany are rising in popularity, he will have a tough time getting a job when companies find out his immigration status. And it won't be getting easier in the foreseeable future with right wing parties getting more popular everywhere. I wish them all the luck in the universe. (I did long distance for 3 years during the pandemic before finally closing the gap at the tail end of covid, and I still struggle to find work even after becoming fluent in the local dialect)
that is also true, sadly. one of the many reasons so many idiots are voting AfD right now is the immigration into and abuse of the the german welfare system, though the family unifaction visa usually does not give her husband access to the welfare system and she will have to carry them bith bith financially until he is able to land a job. i wish them well.
