Cross-chargeability

If you are the primary applicant of the GC born in one of those visa retrogression affected countries ( India, China etc., ) and your spouse was born in one of those countries that are not affected by visa retrogression ( UK etc.,) then you can file under his/her country quota and a visa number will be provided for you though you belong to EB3.

Hello VB,nato and endless_story,

Thank you.
Cross chargeability basically means any primary applicant can apply I-140 and I-485 concurrently based on his/her spouse's (secondary applicant's) country of birth. Very Important: The person has to be a citizen BY BIRTH ONLY ( atleast thats what I found after reading a lot of forums).
This comes in handy in case of visa unavailablity of high traffic countries like India,Mexico and China.
But the most important thing to note is that the cross charged country should have Visa available also (in my case it was UK).

Luckily I made sure I sent my appl. on June 28 and VSC recd. it on June 29.
Technically in June, visa's were still available, so this should have been the cut-off date, if you ask me.
My lawyer did not even suggest about this :mad: , but I did some research on immigration.com forums and other sites and came to know about it just in time.

Endless_story, you should ask your lawyer about the rejection. What was the country of cross-chargeability? Did you check in the June bulletin, if that country had Visa availability?
In my opinion, the application should not have been rejected, but then I am not in the best person to comment on this.

Hope this helps.

canada. It was current at that time. We filed on 29th.
Lawyer is saying they did not accept because it is last day. Will they accept any explanation or additional info now since, my application did reach before the visa became unavailable for canada?

Thanks,
Sudha

Sudha,

If you mailed your application on June 29, it should have reached them on June 30. Was the package sent via FedEx/UPS or USPS?
I had sent my papers via UPS overnite.
I think if there is a way to appeal, then your lawyer should try that possiblity, though I am not sure if it can be done (I am not a lawyer).
Donno what else I can suggest.
Good luck.

kedzone
 
application submitted on last day were accepted, your lawyer messed you up sue him

ask tracking number and get evidence that it didn't reach on time, yet better change your lawyer at this time, else you don't know what is in store there are many more things to come yet, right now you just lost 3 months later donw the road you may loose much more. btw were you born in canada, how is it in canada, landed PR/Citizen can't charge to canada

Hey Guyz,
