Hey Guys...

My I-485 (EB3 - employer based) has been pending - it has been 2 years now. I got married last year. My wife is a permanent resident. Last month my wife filed for her citizenship. So, what are my options? Is there way to speed up my pending I-485 process or should I file another I-485?

Is there anything I can do after my wife gets her Citizenship?
 
I don't think her citizenship application would help speed up your I-485. If her case gets approved, however, you can certainly consider a family-based green card path, especially if EB3 is still heavily backlogged by then. But read it up first as there are other restrictions not present in the EB world. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!
