Australian in Singapore with US "missionary" wife - IN319B?

[PNGMK]

PNGMK - based on a recent article in WSJ, non-US person may not have to pay into SS/Medicare for themselves, if US citizen/GC spouse already qualifies for those benefits.

(If link doesn't work try directly google for WSJ and "U.S. Social Security Tips for Expats & Non-Resident Alien Spouses")

Interesting - it doesn't cover the medicare question but it does cover some other questions.

I thought I'd update you all.

I-130 is filled out. I'm now waiting for some paperwork to come in and then the application is going in.

My wife is having her 'missionary' status verified in the meantime.
