Yes. Right now you can process the I-130 as an LPR or F2A category. Once you naturalize you just update USCIS and they can bump your I-130 up to CR-1/IR-1 level speed.

You submitted an I130 for a family member?

Oh good point I assumed spouse. That can make a difference depending on who the I-130 is for.

Then I agree with @Ben&Zian and their initial response, file the I130 as an LPR then update it when you naturalize.

 

Good Luck!
