Who will be the derivative Beneficiary for N400 applicant? I am eligable to apply N400 now but my spouse is holding H1B and if I apply N400 does she get her status adjusted to Green card.

What are all the other forms should I file with my N400 for her to get her Immigrant visa as my derivative beneficiary?

There is no such thing as a derivative beneficiary for an N-400, at least not directly.

Her status will not be adjusted automatically just because you become a citizen through the N-400.

After you become a citizen, your spouse will be eligible to adjust status based on your marriage, with no waiting for a visa number. But there is nothing you would file today with the N-400 to make this happen. For her to adjust status, you would file an I-130 and I-485, plus associated forms. I believe you have to wait until after you get your naturalization certificate (after you take your citizenship oath) before you can file for her to adjust status, because she must have a visa number immediately available to her when she files the I-485.

You may want to look at the "adjusting status from work, student, and tourist visas" forum for details on the process.

Thank you so much for all information. She is now pregnant. Hopefully she will get her status adjusted or in the process of AOS while our baby is born.

Thanks again for your time and valuable input.
