Cross Chargability Rules

[CCC]

Hello,
My wife and I both work for the same company and my PD date is 1 year behind my wifes. But she was born in Germany though she is currently an Indian citizen. Now that the ROW category has moved passed her PD's date (Nov 6th 2002), we plan to file under the ROW category using the Cross Chargability rules. Does anybody have any experience filing under this rule? We have her birth certificate (translated into English from German etc) and our lawyers will send us the list of documents i expect. So basically i am trying to find out what to expect when filing under this category. Are there any caveats, good to knows etc?

PS- I am also an Indian citizen but i will obviously piggy back on her application since my PD is not current.

I know for sure, that you can go ahead and file as your wife's country of birth is Germany. About other things,, contact a good attorney. Best wishes and congratulations
