Thank you!!
 
your petition for your spouse has to be approved by USCIS, thats about 1year-6mo. After that a visa has to be available for your spouse...another 5years or so. So your looking at 7 years total, but it all depends on your case and processing times may change.
If you become a US citizen it may be faster. How far are you from having 5 years as a GC holder?

The question you should ask is how long it takes for LPR to be US citizen. YOu can not get your GC as spouse of GC holder.
It takes 4 yrs 9 months for LPR to be eligible to citizenship and then spend a few months to a year to be USC. Total 6+ years after becoming LPR, and then you can apply for your I-485. 7 years in total is good estimate.
