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?
