Hi Angie and thanks so much for your post!

Your background looks strong, and from what I can tell from your post, it looks as if you left your job to move to the US with your spouse. Is that correct? If so, then this is really quite an easy thing to explain to the adcoms as to why you're currently unemployed. The big question for them will really be "How is she using her time now?". I would suggest that if you can at all volunteer in the field you're interested in working in, that may be helpful, but it does seem as if otherwise, you are doing exactly the right thing. Taking classes in the field that you hope to pursue, and working on your extra-curriculars are a great use of your time.
