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)
I find this take v divorced from reality, for family reunification you need to be gainfully employed and prove to the government that the partner reuniting with their family has enough money to support them. Even students need to have a blocked account - which is around 10k to 14k euros per family member to be able to bring their family over. What do people think? That a person working a job alone will continue working as a single person, just a cog in the economy no human attachments? No family, ever? It is ludicrous to think like this. Asylum seekers are different and that’s something we can have a discussion about for sure but i’d point you to any Germanembassy’s list of requirements fot family reunification before you decide to play devil’s advocate, and that too, poorly.
Youve missed my point entirely. I am not playing devils advocate. Im not advocating for anything here. Im simply pointing out how rightwingers view immigrants, not what the actual reality of immigration laws is. Also, OP did mention they tried to get him a job for years before trying the reunification way so that conflicts with what youre saying. Again, Im not a German nor do I live in Germany so I cant tell you the ins and outs of German immigration.
