I know that if your beneficiary is present in US you can file both at the same time but if s/he is waiting outside then you are required to file I-130 only.Keep in mind that you have to wait for I-130's approval then wait for visa number to be available, so you are paying fee for I-485 in advance and if your I-130 does not approve then you will lose the fee for it.The only thing I am not sure is that if benefiiciary is out of status what will apply because s/he might be removed or deported and if that happenes how it will effect the whole thing.As you might know the process takes a long time and in most of the cases applicant becomes US citizen before any movement on their I-130 then they can update their I-130 for faster process.

i130 and i485 can not be filed togather, first of all u have to file i130 and once it gets approaved and your visa no. is available then you can file for adjustment of status,i485.
 
Thanks to both of you!

So they won't even consider my I-485 until I-130 is approved and that can happen probably in 4 years :)
So my husband can apply for citizenship in February, and hopefully by the and of next year he can get it, and everything will go faster then, if i understood well?
Thank you again:D
