As a green card holder you can't bring your Fiance to the U.S. via Fiance Visa unless you are a U.S. Citizen. However, as a green card holder you can file for your spouse once you are married. I suggest you consult with an attorney regarding your matter.

As you are a permanent resident, it will take your wife about 2 years if you start now. This does not include the processing time for the visa at her home consulate.
