Look at my first post where I listed all the forms.  The first two (i130, i485) are REQUIRED.   The other two are optional but HIGHLY recommended

Yes.  That is the basis for filing a proper I-485.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
