Hi,
I think it is impossible to take her along if she is out of her status. The first thing they normally ask is our status in your present country of residence. The only option left for you is if she returns to your native country then you can apply for her.

Hope it helps clarify you.

People have managed to apply for FSW with an out of status spouse without having a problem. Even some people who are out of status in the US themselves have applied for FSW but to apply through the US, the principal applicant must have been admitted to the US with at least one year visa at some point.

I believe the applicant or the spouse, whoever, if applying from a country other where the applicant/spouse is citizen of, you need to prove that you entered the foriegn country legally and stayed legally for at least 1 year, after that it doesn't matter...as far as i know.

Dependent doesn't matter, only the status of the principal applicant matters.
