> quickly get your green card

This is easier said than done since Google first has to sponsor your green card application (it's not automatic with an H1B visa) and in my experience the government bureaucracy that handles green cards doesn't know the meaning of the word "quick".

You're right, the application process does have a large variation. However, anecdotal evidence (from my colleagues and me) suggests that if you're not from India or China, you should get it in about 1.5 - 2 years from application.

how much would it be for Indians / Chinese ?

I've heard some sorry stories for ~ 4 years, but depending on how full the quote lines are I think ~3 years is a good estimate.
