I guess she has to be eligible for GC under EB1.

Just having a Phd does not entitle one to EB1..and you cannot jump to EB1 based on her qualifications.

First a determination has to be made if she qualifies for EB1. If she does qualify then yes, you can be her co-applicant and get GC along with her. One of my colleague who was stuck in EB3 got his GC through his wife in EB1. His wife finished her Phd and qualified for EB1.

 

omshiv get your facts right before answering with a no each time.

The answer to the original question is a resounding NO. If your spouse qualifies for and gets EB1 approved you can get the Gc as a family member and spouse..
