Currently my fiance and I have been waiting about 8 months for our I129-f to be adjudicated and we were thinking about possibly getting married and going the CR-1 route due to uncertainty around processing times. We ultimately want to be together as quick as possible. I see the general processing times that are listed on the site and believe that there is a good chance that the CR-1 route would be quicker than continuing to wait for the K-1. I guess my ultimate question is if people can confirm that the upper bound is around a 10 month wait time from the date of the application, and I am more curious if people can share their experiences of the process

If you marry, you have to start from scratch.......and it will takes around another 18 months for the CR-1 visa to be issued.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Some people wait up to 1 year before receiving their NOA2 from USCIS. Then you need to go through NVC 2-3 months. Then wait for interview notice (2+ months). I would stick with K1. 

Where is your partner from? Interview times differ wildly for different countries... can you complete your timeline and your profile, please?

If your priority is to be together the fastest way, you would continue with the current process.

She is from Russia and I know that there is quite a backlog at the Polish consulate. 

 

I will complete the profile for sure

There is no guaranteed "upper bound" for I-130 or CR1/IR1 processing time.  Our case took more than 10 months just for the petition stage.  Ours was a straightforward case, approved without any RFE.
