What is the I-130 processing time for a spouse of a US green card holder?

Its my wife's I-130 I'm petitioning for :-D. As per the post here - time for I-130 approval is the same...irrespective of petitioner being a green card holder or us citizen.
Say I petition for I-130 (for wife) now.. after 7 months it gets approved or is still pending. What do I have to do to update my wife's approved or pending I-130 once I become a us citizen? How long does this upgrade process take?
Once the immigration officers at the border did call my wife in for questioning perhaps because she came so many times and that I was a green card holder. She mentioned to them she was visiting me and showed them all her job pay stubs, apt rent reciepts and college course receipts from canada. The officer told her to keep her file uptodate and she could come even after she applied for her papers. I will ask her to call the immigration office at the border to confirm if its ok to file I-130 and come visit the US, if she has the intention to return (paystubs, college course recipts, etc).
My spouse is a Canadian citizen and travels to the US on weekends on the visa waiver program.
