You can only use you wife\'s country of birth if she is the primary applicant. That is why my husband has applied on my GC. Both of us had filed for GC from our respective companies. My husband is EB2 born in India but because of length of processing and shortage of GC for Indian category, we decided to continue with mine (EB2 - Other - born in UAE).

I dont think your spouse has to be the primary applicant. I did some research on this and according to my attorney, either of the spouse can cross charge to either of their country and to complicate it a bit more, I guess if you have stayed for less than 1 year in total
in the country of birth then you can cross charge it to your parents

Not true. When you file for I-485, you can charge to either spouse\'s COUNTRY OF BIRTH (not country of citizenship). You DO NOT need to be the Primary Applicant. Once you enter the I-485 stage, the situation differs from earlier stages. The technical term is "Cross Chargeability". There is also a related situation, in which the parents belong to different countries and the mother gives birth in a 3rd country...in which case, the child can charge to either the mother\'s or father\'s or own COUNTRY OF BIRTH, depending on whichever is more advantageous....this is "Alternate Chargeability". Many immigration lawyers themselves are not aware of such a clause.
In any case, this would only help you in your PD....for people whose date is current, IT DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL...the cases would be processed on the basis of the I-485 notice date....the earlier the better.
Hope this helps.
