Three positive things about CR1 are:

 

1) It's much much cheaper than K1 route

2) Once your spouse gets immigrant visa and enter the US - they're LPRs. No need to wait for over a year for GC and be restricted in working, travelling etc like you are with AOS after K1

3) If you're married for over 2 years when spouse enters the US, no need to file I-751 which is additional expense and 2-3 year wait.

 

What you're proposing isn't going to work realistically. You're stuck with CR1, and it's the superior route anyways.

I see tha k1 visas are being approved on average 3-4 months and appooinntments are fast after approval. It is more expensive to travel to phillpimes 1-2 per year during the rwo years wait than to pay for the adjustment of status in the US

Umm, they're not. Once you pass the USCIS, it needs to make it to the US embassy and those are not quick given the backlog of cases they're working on. Stay the course as it's cheaper and definitely a better option as green card and ability to work from the moment she steps into the country through POE. 

 

And what's your consulate that you say people are flying through with fast processing? AKA - complete your profile on VJ.

Regardless of the stats you're quoting, people have already given you the answer: it is questionable at best as to whether this would work. Furthermore, CR-1 is generally superior, so you aren't in too bad a spot.

I would bet a month's pay that this would, at the very least, result in an RFE from USCIS which will add months to the processing time. I also think that the RFE would be attached with a Notice of Intent to Deny which is not a place you want to be.... Believe me I get it. Our K-1 case just took a year and it sucks but don't take what would be a solid, straightforward case (CR-1/IR-1) and turn it into a complicated, messy K-1. You do not want to be on USCIS's radar for suspicions of anything
