I am a Green card holder and want to sponsor my wife. How long it will take for the whole process.

That's right. About 2 years for the green card holder. As for the sponsoring U.S. citizen spouse, it's not just "a bit faster", Amigo, but it's IMMEDIATE! You can immediately file a "combined processing" petition, with your wife getting a work permit and advance parole within 2-3 months, as well as her conditional 'green card" within 4-5 months from the date of filing (in California, Amigo, check the processing times for your USCIS district office at the USCIS web site.)

Yes ... slow if you only have a greencard ... several years. Yes ... much faster if you are a US Citizen.

Yes, if you file for your wife as a green card holder, you will have to wait approximately 2 years for visa availability. If you are eligible for naturalization (have been a lawful permanent resident for 5 years, meet other criteria), you should apply for it now, and then file a petition for your wife. The assistance of a qualified immigration attorney can help increase your chances of getting her here quickly.
