Lying during a US immigration proceeding has serious consequences. Since your question indicates you may attempt visa fraud based on the response to your first question, I will simply refer you to the USCIS website so that you can do your own research.
I didn't say anything about lying, it was an hypothetical question out of interest.

I did my research on the USCIS website and found out that the spouse is eligible for a derivative visa via form I-485. Let me rephrase my original question then:

If one of us receives the green card through DV and the other one is eligible for derivative visa - do both applications go simultaneously or does the one getting the green card need to complete the application process first?
