Hi Ya'll!
I'm a 5 year LPR in the process of getting my citizenship. Currently my case is pending for interview and is schedule for September 24. The next oath ceremony here in houston will be on October 21.
I recently got married and my wife is out of the country, her visa was cancelled during a pre-inspection when we were coming back from our honeymoon in Aruba.
When is more convenient to file the I-130 before or after I get my citizenship?
What is the processing time? Would it be shorter if we file for a K-3 visa?
I know that after I get my citizenship the I-130 will be upgraded? does it help filing it before I get my citizenship?
Thanks,

Katy Tx Resident
