Confused Bringing foreign wife to US

Hi,

I am US Green Card Holder , living in US. I want to marry my long time love who is currently living in United Arab Emirates UAE. She might move to Canada in next few months. My question is this, "As far as bringing wife to US is concerned, which option is easier to bring her here: from UAE to US or from Canada to US, depending on factors such as case backlogs, processing times etc.

( She is Pakistani National living in UAE. She might move to Canada if her immigrant brother is able to sponsor her)

Its very urgent. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Confused

Being a green card holder myeself I do know that it takes longer for us (greencard holders) than a US citizent to bring a spouse over from another country.
Go to USCIS.gov and there you will find what needs to be done.
Goodluck it can take some time.

I found out about the necessary forms that need to be submitted , and I am trying to have rough estimate of which of the two options is feasible. So lets see. Its weird that it takes longer for Green Card holders specifically, since I have heard that people on H1 visa can get the entire process done in comparatively shorter period of time !
