How does cross-chargeability work for EB-5 investors from China?

I was born in China (PRC) and my boyfriend was born in Taiwan (ROC). My priority date is in 2016/08. Both of us are in the US now under F-1 Visa. We plan to get married next spring. I wonder in this case, will our marriage contribute to the cross-chargeability rule if I add him to the petition?

  Yes, you can take advantage of cross-chargeability once you are married. You need to ask your attorney to contact NVC.

  If you are both applying for a green card then you can cross-charge to his country of birth after getting married.
