There is no ban for filing the petition.  Don't wait to file.

Exactly, there’s no point in waiting to start the process. The ban is only on visa issuance, there is a lot to happen before that point anyway.  If she hasn’t finished processing by the time you become a citizen, then upgrade the petition.

Just want to make sure. Just your wife right? No children to file for?

 

Because if you plan to bring children, then also you need a petition for each if you plan to upgrade during the process. Just wanted to make that clear.
