Wife born in Nigeria - does that help accelerate GC?

[vickwiz]

I am about to initiate my GC process and looks like it will have to be under EB3 category. One of my friend who recently got his GC also had a similar case where in his wife was born in Kenya and he got the GC in an year or so.

Is my understanding correct and if so then what do I have to do to ensure that my wife's birth country takes effect?

Thanks!

_{That would also be a 6 year wait. GOOGLE visa bulletin and look for yourself. Your understanding is correct.}

This is called cross-chargeability. Your wife's country of birth can be used, so that you both would fall in the ROW PD.

Tell your lawyer about it. The lawyer knows how to indicate cross-chargeability.

Who is primary applicant? Is it you or your wife?
