Well yes essentially.. As I am from what the US deems as a 3rd world country, if I'm honest about wanting to be with my fiancé for 3 months, I just fear they will outright deny me entry just because of my duration of stay - thus me purchasing a shorter visit ticket, but planning to change it after.

That sounds like a solid plan. 

No need to send those phone statements/bills, that is absolute overkill. And for the bank statements, just send in one for each quarter of the last couple of years, USCIS will get the idea. 

Don’t you think that lawyer could possibly have been referring to interview wait times for that consulate…..?

Your US fiance should have discussed things like this with you.  The immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  The following K-1 flowchart might be helpful:
 
 

Where did you hear that?  I would love to see a link.  It is 100% inaccurate. 

I started applying for jobs about a month before I moved, because I knew that I would be able to attend a job interview (I moved pre-covid). Had a job interview 3 days after arriving in the US and started my job 2 weeks later. 

But the reviewing processing insn’t done yet. Your case is still processing. I think you are confusing your timeline entries here on Visajourney with your case status. 

They use estimated processing times that are posted on the USCIS website, so to me it makes more sense to just look up estimated processing times yourself (which is free).
 
It depends on the airport and your travel arrangements. If you have a layover at a Canadian airport before flying into the US, you may be able to clear immigrations in Canada. If you plan to land in Canada and drive across the border, your port of entry will be at the land crossing so you will go through immigrations there.
 
You can not book the exact same travel itinerary as your fiance, because you will be a no-show for the first part of his travel, so they would cancel your return flight. He will need to book his travel, and as soon as he has the flight details for his flight back to the US, you book the same flight for yourself. You will probably need to book a round trip as if you are planning to fly back to Europe in a few weeks/months (because this is much cheaper than booking a one-way flight), and once you are in the US you can cancel that return flight.

Yikes, maybe the K1 wasn’t the best option in her situation.. She can’t leave the US during the adjustment of status process until she has authorization (approved I-131 or I-485). If she leaves without it, you’ll have to start from scratch with a spousal visa.

Yes, but make sure to keep your visits short and the ties to your home country strong
 
I visited my husband for about 2 weeks every 3-4 months and never had issues. I traveled on an Esta as well and had a pending I-130

I assume you are both adults and know how to behave in a professional manner?
 
The officer will ask questions for both of you to answer, it’s not complicated. 

I didn’t receive a packet either, it was all accessible digitally for CBP.

You're both adults and should be able to behave for an immigration interview. This is your future you're talking about.
