US Green Card holder sponsoring his to-be wife

[kbor]

I am a permanent resident of US and currently eligible to apply for my naturalization/citizenship. However, I am single and planning to get married in the next few months. My fiancee is in her country and doesn't have any US visa. Considering my situation, what are the best possible options for me? The priority is to get her to the US as soon as possible and also minimize the overall process duration.

1) Should I first apply for my naturalization and wait for that process to complete before applying for her permanent residency?
2) Should I first apply for my naturalization and then immediately apply for her permanent residency? Will there be any complications in this scenario if my status changes while her application is in process?

Thanks

They do not conflict, so there is no reason why you cannot do both at the same time. So either #2 or #4 (the order doesn't matter). If you become a citizen before she immigrates, you would notify them to upgrade the category of the petition from F2A to Immediate Relative. There are no complications, unless she has a unmarried under-21 child immigrating as her derivative beneficiary, which you would need to petition separately if you were to become a citizen.
