No.
You need to wait until she naturalizes to petition for you.
Why is it taking it taking such a long time to process?
answered on Oct 4, 2021
If your Petition is taking longer than the current processing time then you can submit an inquiry to USCIS.

Im a DACA recipient before the age of 18 and have renewed ever since, without leaving the country ever. I’m looking to go through consular processing because I entered without inspection. Do I need to file a 601A waiver even though I haven’t accrued any unlawful presence? Thank you so much.
answered on Oct 3, 2021
If you remained in the United States after the age of 18 for any period of time over 6 months you acquired unlawful presence and you need a waiver. DACA does not cure unlawful presence, it defers action on the unlawful presence.

Naturalization law has changed over the years. Whether you are a citizen through your parents depends on a lot of facts that you have not provided. I suggest you consult with an experienced Immigration attorney or read the qualifications for naturalization at USCIS.gov
