Need some help : Filing I-130 for spouse

[goldy99 0]

Hi

I am PR now and about to apply for citizenship in about a month. I am in a dillemma that should I wait till I become citizen and then petition for I-130 or I should just file right now as PR so that atleast the process will start and once I become citizen I should upgrade the petition. Will it be faster then applying after getting citizenship which is still about 4-5 months away.

I just checked the Visa Timelines and NSC is talking only 6 months to process I-130 for spouse, filed by PR. Is that true?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

the best advice i can give is file as a pr even tho you will become a citizen soon. its best to put the paperwork in now then do an upgrade later as for the time i am not sure but it seemed like it.....
