At present, people who got sponsored before 15Sep1999 are getting GC. So there is a wait for 9 years which will be even longer as the petitions keep on piling up. This is the fastest time you can get residency by your family sponsor.
If you marry a green card holder, your preference moves to 2A, whch has a wait of 5 years, still not very exciting!
Marry a citizen, GC will fall in your lap right away!
