How long would a spouse visa take from Philippines to the US?

If I marry in the Philippines and apply for a spouse visa, how long will it take for the visa to be approved? What's a realistic expectation?How long would a spouse visa take from Philippines to the US?
A K-3 (non-immigrant spouse) visa takes about 12 months. When she arrives she'll have to adjust status to immigrant. That's a pain and costs $1,010.





A CR-1 (immigrant spouse) visa will take longer, maybe 15 to 18 months, but when she gets here nothing further is required. She'll just get the green card in the mail in about a month or two.How long would a spouse visa take from Philippines to the US?
I got married in the philippines in 1987. At the time it took the better part of 5 months for my wife to get her visa in Manila. Also the marriage license took a little effort to get as well. You and your fiancee` will most likely need to meet with the US Consul as part of the licensing. I'd plan on the better part of a couple of weeks to a month for the marriage license.
