It depends on your country of birth. Look at the visa bulletin for the latest priority dates for family based petition. It is not 6 months for India and China unless the spouse is a citizen.

Citizen

sorry it was my mistake , she is a US citizen.So probably that will escalate the case. .how much time wil lit take if she is a US citizen.(i am from india btw)

Also she is around late 40's and i am around early 30's .WIll that impact my case.

Age is not an issue. You are looking at 6-12 month turnaround for the GC. It will be conditional though and once the marriage lasts for 2 years, you will get a permanent GC.
