Applying for I-130 with naturalization application

[dgthomas]

Hi,

My wife is a Permanent Resident for last 5 years and she is applying for her naturalization. I am in H1B. Can you please let me know if i can apply for my I-130 with her naturalization application or should i wait until she get the citizenship?

Thanks,
Deepu

You will need wait until she becomes US citizen if you want to apply in immediate relative category.

Alternatively, you can apply now in F2 category and upgrade it to immediate relative category once she becomes US citizen.
