J1 waiver and GC based on spouse's I-140 filing

[sujitm]

Hi,

I have the GC. My spouse was on J1 visa and is undergoing the J1 waiver requirement of 3 year service in a medically undeserved area (MUA). She was included in my I-140 filing. I hear that upon completion of the J1 waiver requirement, when we file for her GC, she does not need to start from scratch - labor cert, I-140 and I-485. Rather she can use my I-140 filing and directly file for I-485. Is this correct? If so, what documentation do I need from my GC process? Will the I-140 application package be good enough?

Thanks
