Hello!

My husband and I married in August and not long after I returned to the states to work for a while and finish some classes for my degree. I'm now looking into ways in which I can obtain a residence visa so I can return, stay with my husband, and work in ecuador until he receives his CR1 visa. The easiest and most obvious one seems to be the 9VI visa for familial dependents. Since it is referred to as a dependence visa and my husband is required to show proof that he can economically support me, Im not sure if the visa extends working privileges to me. Has anyone acquired a residence visa within ecuador and does anyone know if 9VI visa holders have working privileges within ecuador?

Thanks for reading my post!

You might have already figured this out since you posted a while back, but yes since you are married to an Ecuadorian you would apply for the 9-VI residency visa and that would allow you to work just like any other Ecuadorian. That is the visa that I had when I lived in Ecuador with my husband and I worked there an an English Teacher both on a contract basis and as a regular employee.

Remember that you are asking to the US goberment reunite with your husband in the states. Is necessary that you live here and not in Ecuador. That could cause some trouble or not. depends on the interviewers and how much time have you spend in Ecuador,

Remember the law that let us ask for our relatives is for reunite them in the states. If you live abroad what is the need to ask for him?

Just something I have learnt all this years.

Citizenship at last.... last step in this journey?
