Since the Philippines doesn't recognize divorce, you have a tough road ahead of you. I suspect your fiancé is going to have to return to the Philippines, as sorting all of this out is going to be a length process. I'd be wary too of any lawyers there, I've heard horror stories of lawyers taking money guaranteeing an annulment, and never delivering it.

If and when you can get through that part of it, and she is free to marry, I don't think at the moment the I-129F or I-130 routes are very different in time. There are pros and cons to each process, you should research that, but each will take about the same time.

Also, be VERY careful that your fiancé doesn't overstay her visa by even one day. Doing so will disqualify her for applying for any visa to the United States for at least 10 years.
