Dramflower Lav Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hello All, Please help me out with these queries. Highly appreciate your help. Scenario: ********** I’m on H1B; Born in India. My wife is home maker and was born in Saudi Arabia. Questions: *********** 1. When my employer applies for my green card will my wife get her GC sooner as she is born in Saudi Arabia or she will also come under my category (meaning India) as I’m primary? 2. If she comes under my category (India), to get her into Saudi category should we fill out any separate form or apply I-485/EAD separately? Or does she automatically come under Saudi category. 3. Please let me know the process to get at least my wife's GC sooner so that she can travel with ease. Thanks. Link to comment
Joe.F Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 You can use cross-chargeability, i.e., you can use the country of birth of your wife for your case. Discuss this with your lawyer. Link to comment
rs_1973 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 You can request for a cross-chargeability for your case, based on the fact that your spouse and you are born in different countries. Although you are the primary applicant and she, the beneficiary, you can request to be considered under Saudi country-of-chargeability and submit your I-485 petition along with your I-140 petition at the appropriate time.
