Basic question on pending i-130 upgrade and 485 filing

Hello All,
I have a very basic question that probably due to my lack of understanding, I'm unable to comprehend.
My spouse was an LPR and I was on an H1 when we married. Then we filed an I-130 from VSC about 15 months back. Now she is awaiting her oath letter and should (I hope and pray) be a citizen soon.
Now from different postings and faqs I know that we need to "upgrade" our I-130 after the oath and file for the AoS with all the different forms/apps that go along. What I'm confused about is the sequence.
Does she write in to "upgrade" the i-130 and I file the 485 app simultaneously or does she "upgrade" we wait for an approval and then file for a 485 ? My 130 should definitely become current after upgrade since VSC 130 processing is quite current.

Your experiences and inputs are appreciated
Thanks
 
You can attach her naturalization certificate along with letter requesting them to upgrade your case. Also, don’t wait for USCIS confirmation regarding petition class upgrade; submit copy of your previously filled I-130, newly filled I-485 and all other supporting documents you have submitted previously.
