Fastest way to bring my wife here from Brazil

Greetings community!  I have not posted in many years, so I'm glad to see that this forum is still here.  Many things have changed for me.  Namely, after my marriage ended (very quickly, and badly) in divorce, I thought I'd be single the rest of my life.  UNTIL... I met an amazing woman in Brazil.  She is everything I've prayed for for 35 years, and so much more.  I'm going to meet her and her son in person in August.  We're planning to do a virtual wedding through Utah County (https://www.utahcounty.gov/dept/clerk/marriage/faq.html) BEFORE my scheduled trip to Brazil, then file for a CR1 visa.  Therein lies my question.  Many things have changed regarding the visa selection and process, since I married the shill from Ukraine. 

1) is CR1 our best option?  Her son is 8.  She is a widow

2) I'm in Washington State.  Which US embassy is moving fastest?  I ask this because we have a timeline that we're dealing with, and we need them to be here before the end of the year...  Nothing criminal, just some personal reasons.

3)  Any HELPFUL advice is welcome. 

4) I am a US Citizen

5) This will be my 2nd marriage to an overseas woman

6) I've heard that they have done away with interviews. Can this be confirmed?

Third time lucky?

"Many things have changed regarding the visa selection and process"

 

Most things are exactly the same, just longer delays.

 

If her son is not the son of her late husband, she will need permission/documented agreement to leave the country with him. 

 

...

Marrying before meeting each other is a bad idea.  Utah Zoom marriage is also feasible after meeting, when you're together.  How long are you planning to visit them?

....

 

The state where you reside has, usually, zero effect on the duration of the process.  "Which embassy is moving fastest?" is also not relevant, unless she has multiple citizenships, or she currently lives abroad [from your post, I understand that she's a Brazilian, living in Brazil.  Is that correct?]

Good advice already, but assuming her son will come with her, you'll need a CR1 visa and a CR2 visa.  You'll file petitions for each of them.

So you were scammed before yet you are committing to marrying a woman having never met her in-person?

You know what they say - fool me once... 

He has a son with the first wife. I’m thinking it wasn’t all a scam… 

One thing that will be different is the amount you need to sponsor your future wife and stepson… @perritonegro did your ex become a citizen? Is your son still a dependent on your taxes?
