cross-chargeability

[sk8er]

Can you use your spouse's cross-chargeability after you have filed for your I-140 already?

How time consuming is this for the USCIS to acknowledge?

Does spouse also need to have a GC application filed at that time or if your spouse is from a non-retrogressed country but not working then you can use her also?

Yes. Chargeability only comes into consideration after the I-140 has been filed or approved.

Does spouse also need to have a GC application filed at that time or if your spouse is from a non-retrogressed country but not working then you can use her also?

So long as you are married to her, you can take advantage of her country of birth if it makes a visa number available sooner.
