can anyone share the step by step procedure when doing the green card appliaction for my wife aboard.

Yes, it's different. When she's outside the U.S., you file I-130, and then once it's approved, she goes through Consular Processing at the U.S. consulate where she lives. If you are also living abroad, depending on your consulate, you might be eligible to do Direct Consular Filing, which is faster.
