Currently it’s taking around 3-4 months according to the timelines of other VJ members.

 

Note that this is just step 1.

It looks like at the current rate of processing, you may have your visa interview at your embassy/consulate around March or April 2020, if there are no delays, i.e., RFE.

 

YMMV

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

Take a look at the many great guides here on VJ, including the step-by-step K1 Visa Flowchart, the timeline is not current, but the sequence is pretty much spot on.
