LPR's petitioning for their spouse can expect from about twice as long to several times as long from filing to visa, then USC filings.

There are also several categories, such as siblings, which only USC can petition for.

Are you asking this question for a specific reason, or are you just inquiring in general if it has an advantage to be a US citizen with all the rights and freedoms associated with it, compared with being a foreign national who has permission to stay and live in the US as long as he/she doesn't misbehave?

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
