It depends on what basis you are filing and who is the petitioner/beneficiary.

If your spouse petitioner is a US citizen, then an immigrant visa is immediately available for your use and hence, you can concurrently file the I-130 petition with your I-485 green card if you are physically present in United States. This way, you can also file for work permit and I-131 Advance parole. if your spouse is an LPR, a visa will not be immediately available and hence, you can only file the I-130 and must wait for your priority date to become current. Note that there are a number of other issues for you to consider.

If your spouse is in the US all the forms should be sent at once.

If you can adjust status here you should file the I-130 and I-485 together. If you cannot, make sure you don't have issues like you came here without inspection. See an attorney.
