N-400 and what about the wife?
So, it's been just over five years since I got my greencard and I may
be elligible to naturalize.
Can anybody recommend an immigration lawyer in Chicago?
I'm fortunate in that my wife of two years has a six month stamp and
is with me now so I'm simply looking for the best way to make use of
the time she is here.
Also, what possibilities are there for her to extend later?
be elligible to naturalize.

It will take a while to become a citizen, even after filing N-400. In my
wife's case, it looks like it will be about 9 months. When your wife
applied for the B-2, did she tell the consulate she had a spouse or
fiance in the US? I would advise that she return within the 6 months of
the visa and not plan on returning using the B-2 to enter the US to
live. As soon as you become a citizen, file I-130 for her. Whether this
is filed in the US or abroad depends on a few factor such as how fast
you want this to proceed and whether the consulate will permit the
filing of I-130 by a US Citizen that doesn't live in the area served by
the consulate.
