It does not really matter how long it takes for the USCIS to approve this type of petition as it is still subject to visa priority date availability and that is currently taking about 2-3 years.

The timing can vary, but you will want to review how long it will be to be eligible for US citizenship (for the green card holder spouse), and if there are other immigration options open to the non-greencard holder spouse, as it will likely be many years before a visa becomes available.

It depends. The I 130 will be approved in 4-6 months usually, but the priority date will take 2 years.
