Can I file for my spouse, IR-1/CR-1 as a permanent resident, it's remaining eight months for me to file for my citizen.

hi

yes you can, or you can wait until you become a USC

If you file now, when you become a USC, you will have to update your status change to immigration for your wife to change category

now as a LPR, she would be under the category F2A, the categories you mentioned are for spouses of USC

once you submit your citizenship certificate she will change category

Thanks so much you have been very helpful, I am going ahead to send my I-130.

Am sorry i don't understand @NRI I will get my citizen in next 8 months and I am filing for me now as LPR I will upgrade the category once I get my citizen, my question is will he get his citizen in 3 yrs after he comes here, like those who came wt IR-1/CR-1 directly. Thanks a lot

Okay then the soonest he can file is 3 years if he is still married to you and an lpr for 3 years. Otherwise he can file at 5 years just by being an lpr for 5 years.
