The Chow test, in OLS or IV, can always be expressed in terms of creating a dummy--in your case for the sample, 0=sample A, 1=sample B, and interacting it with the regressors. The regression then is augmented with the dummy (which is a constant term shift for sample B) and the interacted regressors. The joint test that the dummy coefficient and all interactions are zero is the 'Chow test'. Each interaction term's coefficient is a test for equality of that coefficient across samples. You normally have to worry about heteroskedasticity caused by pooling in this context, but since you're using GMM, it will take care of it and 'robustify' the F- and t-statistics.

In the context of instrumental variables, you will of course have to consider (migrated*dummy) to be an additional endogenous regressor and find an instrument for it.
