any property that is exempt under Federal law, other than subsection (d) of this section, or State or local
law that is applicable on the date of the filing of the petition at the place in which the debtor's domicile
has been located for the 180 days immediately preceding the date of the filing of the petition, or for a
longer portion of such 180-day period than in any other place; and (B) any interest in property in which
the debtor had, immediately before the commencement of the case, an interest as a tenant by the entirety
or joint tenant to the extent that such interest as a tenant by the entirety or joint tenant is exempt
from process under applicable nonbankruptcy law." |
