Just because you're employed somewhere else doesn't mean you're "unemployed" in the US. You're going to put foreign sourced income on your US return so it's income and you're employed.
Do you have a FICO yet? (generated after 6 months of 1 open trade line) -- if not, wait for that and then reapply with your actual employer in your home country listed and adding your income to your husbands for household income.
The auto approval system will work much better once you actually have a FICO.
