QQ : filed I-130 online first, should I wait for approval before doing I-485?

I’m trying to figure out how this works. My spouse is a U.S. citizen, and I’m currently in the U.S. on a work visa.

My wife is planning to file Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) online first, and then file Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) later once the I-130 is approved.

• Is it okay to wait until the I-130 is approved before submitting the I-485, or will that make the overall process slower or more complicated?
• Is there any specific timeline or window where I need to submit the I-485 after filing the I-130?
• Has anyone here filed them separately (not concurrently)? How long did your approval take in that case?

Any advice or personal experiences would be super helpful - thank you! 🙏
