QUESTION
How long after I become a US Citizen can I start to apply for my spouse or fiancé?
Asked on Oct 06th, 2012 on Immigration - Colorado
More details to this question:
I will be getting my US citizenship any time this year or next year. My application is being processed now. Is there like a waiting time I have to do before I can apply for her, or can I start the process right after I get naturalized? Thank you in advance.

You can apply the day you are naturalized and have your certificate of naturalization in hand.

You may begin the process immediately after you are naturalized as a US citizen (assuming you are at least 21 years of age).

No waiting period. Once you have been sworn in as a U.S. citizen and have your naturalization certificate, you can begin the process.

You can petition for your spouse as an LPR. You can petition as a US citizen the day you are sworn in as a US citizen.
