Retrogression vs cross-changeability

Hi I read through the link on the forum:
http://www.immigration.com/faq/prioretro.html

A spouse can take advantage of the other spouse's country of birth if priority date retrogression occurs or backlog exists. As an example, a husband is born in India. His labor cert is approved, but he is unable to file an I-485 because his priority date is not current. If his wife was born in Singapore (or any other country whose employment-based priority dates are not backed up), he can file 485 right away under Singapore quota of green cards.

I do not know how many people in the forum have knowledge or have asked their lawyer about this. I do not know whether USICS will automatically recongized the country of birth for dependent applicant or applicant need to inform USICS for this eligibiltiy.

Any one has any idea?
 
Cross Changeability

Do we have any documentation on Cross Changeability?

My wife is a British citizen and United States permanent resident. Can I apply under British quota if my employment based 485 is retrogressed ?

Thanks!
