Start your I-130 now while you wait for her to arrive if you HAVEN'T met yet.

E-mails

Photos

Phone records

plane tickets

If you have already met and have photos- just go ahead and do it.

If she is here then you'll end up having to file for an adjustment of status

Yeah, go ahead and get a start on it. It takes forever, and if they want more evidence, they'll ask for it.
