Re: can i use the same receipt

No, I don't believe you can. In general, if the petitioner naturalizes after having filed an I-130, he needs to file a new I-130 for his spouse. There may be a way, however, to recapture the original priority date. Consult an immigration attorney to get advice for your specific situation. This reply is general information, is not legal advice and should not be relied on as such.
