APRC income requirements for spouses of foreigners

I have a buddy who wants to apply for an APRC. He’s married to a foreigner who is working here and he is on a spousal visa while he gets his master’s degree.

The NIA have told him that he’s eligible but now he’s getting news of someone in a similar situation who was rejected on the grounds of financial ability. Apparently, he was unable to use his spouse’s income and assets in the same way as someone married to a Taiwanese would.

Does anyone have info on this issue?

/facepalm
