There is a marked difference between a U.S.C. filing for a spouse and a LAR (green card holder). Congress has distinguished the visa categories for each of the two; the U.S.C. visa is immediately available, the green card holder has a 5 year wait. If you go to my web site, you will find a link to the Visa Bulletin which each month published the availability of visas. There you will ascertain that the LAR filed visa has a 5 year wait; that current priority date is 9 Sept '99, making it nearly a 7 year wait. I urge you to look at that visa bulletin, it will answer multiple questions. In conclusion the times are significantly different. Houston currently reports that they have a 4 month wait for processing an immigrant petition based on marriage. (also click on the proper buttons on my web site).
