This has been my concern if in fact my spouse arrives to the US and this silly rule is still in effect. Outside of an open enrollment period, I have been worried about what to do. Can I add my spouse to my health insurance outside of an enrollment period by considering their entry as an immigrant a qualifying event? I have never seen that anywhere.

Talk to your HR department about your particular health insurance.   Every employer is different.

Sometimes.  

My husband's work certainly didnt and he works for the federal government but others on VJ have claimed to do it.

Get a job in the US and have your process expedited.
