But that's not mentioned on I-130 instruction. is it something new?

You're correct. I don't see it anywhere mentioned on I-130 guidelines. However, it does make perfect sense to send in wife's marriage certificate. She obtained her citizenship through marrying a US Citizen (myself) so I am guessing they may want to see proof of her marriage. At the same time wife will be submitting her proof of US Citizenship so not sure it marriage cert is also required. I am confused*. There is also a question on I130 that states "are you a permament resident alien through marrying US Citizen"

"are you a permament resident alien through marrying US Citizen" - I-130 14.b "YES".

As for the marriage certificate question, the instruction says to show proof of name change. Wives usually change names after wedding so.

THE #14 QUESTIONS OF I-130 FORM IS

IF YOUR A LAWFULL PERMANENT ALIEN COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING TOGETHET WITH #14B.

SO SINCE YOUR WIFE IS A US CITIZEN NOW SHE JUST NEED TO COMPLETE THE #13 AND CHECK UNDER NATURALIZATION AND PUT HER NATURALIZATION CERT # AND PLACE OF ISSUEANCE

AND YES SHE NEED TO INCLUDE HER MARRIAGE CERT PROOF THAT HER NAME CHANGE

GOOD LUCK
