※ 引述《dannyyin (cobra)》之铭言： 好奇问一下，主申请人不是中国男吗？ 但是因为中国男，取了一个台湾女，他的名额就可以变成世界而非中国喔？ 我以为这会是跟绿卡抽签类似 台湾女可以帮中国男，但是不能反过来 各位板友大家好 我这个朋友的故事有後续的发展了... 她要她的男朋友问律师关於 Cross Chargeability 的状况 那律师终於有回覆了 For Adjustment of Status (AOS) or “green card” applicants, the law allows for a spouse or child who is accompanying his or her spouse to the U.S. to be charged to the country of which the principal applicant is a citizen, but does not specifically provide that a principal applicant may be charged to the country of the derivative spouse. "There is an important quirk in the cross-chargeability rule that can affect couples that do not apply for permanent residence (either adjustment of status or an immigrant visa) at the same time. If the principal applicant has the more favorable chargeability, his or her case can be filed and approved first, and the spouse with the less favorable chargeability can apply at any later point as a "following-to-join" derivative and still benefit from the principal's more favorable chargeability. However, if the principal has the less favorable chargeability, then the principal and spouse's cases must be adjudicated together; the derivative spouse with the more favorable chargeability cannot follow to join at a later time, as the principal needs the benefit of the derivative spouse's more favorable chargeability to be eligible for permanent resident status.” In that sense, your spouse has to use the visa bulletin of the Chinese Mainland Born Category as the dependent of a Chinese Mainland Born principal applicant. And we won’t be able to submit your application until your Priority Date is current which might take couple years. Here is the link for the interpretation of the “Cross Chargeability” policy: http://pubweb.fdbl.com/news1.nsf/7f4d7596b0572ba886256e3100809439/ b39da08089b9b3438525708c006d4de6?OpenDocument (缩址: http://0rz.tw/3RnmO) 我朋友跟她男友研究半天 那律师的意思似乎是女方的台湾身份没帮助哩! 这究竟是我朋友跟她男友误解了 还是那律师两光哩? 还请各位板友帮我朋友解个惑吧 非常非常感谢各位板友! --
