Can a green card holder petition his wife? for how tons yeras?
Answers:
Green card holder can file the petition. The spouse gets the immigrant visa (aka green card) when the visa number becomes current. How long does it cart for the visa number to become current? it depends on which country is the spouse from? Please refer to Visa Bulletin to see current visa numbers availability. Link is: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bullet...
Look under first chart.
Typically what happens is that priority date takes long time to become current. And contained by the meantime the green card holder becomes US citizen and can upgrage the peition category. Once the green card holder petitioner spouse becomes citizen, the visa number is immediately available and spouse can return with immigrant visa immediately subject to processing time delay.

A Green Card holder cannot petition for his wife...
Must BE a US CITIZEN... Yes, it takes give or take a few 5 years for a visa to become available. In the mean time, she has to wait within her own country.
