Can approved I-130 which was filed for LPR spouse be used when LPR becomes a citizen?

Does a PR who has filed and received approval on I-130 for his/her spouse need to file a separate I-130/485 again once he/she gets naturalized, or can the approved I-130 (based on LPR) be used to file the I-485?

Would appreciate any thoughts.
 
No Title

Yes, the approved I-130 can be used to file the I-485. You will not need to submit a new I-130, since you already have an I-130 approved.
