Hi All
I am currently Permanent Resident , Applied for citizenship today (60 days before 5 yrs). I got married 2 months ago in India. I want to bring my wife as soon as possible. My question is : Is there any adavantage in filing I-130 for her now , while my citizenship application is in process and submit naturalization certificate to convert the I-130 pettion or file everything after I become citizenship?. Will I save any time?, or complicate the Issue?

Please help!!

You can save some money by filing for I-130 before July 30th (as new fees will kick in that day).

But your petition will move a lot faster once you become a citizen. Technically you will not be saving any time by filing now, except some money.
