My wife is an EB-5 principal applicant (through a regional center), chargeability country: India and based out of Canada.
I, spouse of principal applicant, am a Canadian citizen and TN visa holder.
1) Are we eligible to file for adjustment of status of i-485 based on pending I-526?
2) Based on my visa status in US, can I file for adjustment of status OR does it have to be the principal applicant?
