What you state are more extreme circumstances. I know of one couple (she was a US Citizen, he was French) - the application process took 7 months from end to end and they entered the US just over 11 months after the process took place - and that was late 2006.
You were very generic in your posting and you said bluntly "
Be careful NOT to go that route!" which is still very incorrect information. Whilst there may be situations where the process can take longer your post was pretty alarmist in stating the 36 months. A better message would have been 'Be aware that under certain circumstances the process can take up to 36 months'.

Where does the "faster" K Fiance Visa come from??
|
er, the statement "
Just remember if he comes under Fiance visa you have to get married within 90 days from arrival. Then it takes right now 3 months to process a work permit and temporary residency. " seems to imply just that. Indeed your last post stated "
Anyone wanting to get married to an Alien Spouse should do so in the USA and/ or if married outside, submit directly in the US to the USCIS or through a a legal representative again in the US." also reaffirms your view that coming in under a K Fiancé visa is faster.

I refrained from responding to this message until I once again confirmed with one of the top USA Lawyers dealing with 100's of these specific cases. Between him and the USCIS I obtain my regular information about Immigration.

I'm sorry but this fails to impress one iota; the internet is replete with people who claim such situations e.g. "My brother is a..." or "My sister-in-law knows..." And getting information from the USCIS is notoriously difficult.
The OP was from the UK and the US Consulate as a USCIS field office that can process I-130 forms thereby making the process much simpler than having to apply to the Department of State.
All the evidence I've got from both personal experience and other forums (ranges for between 4 and 7 months for British applications) dispute your alarmist statements an I stand 100% by my rebuttal.
