It usually takes about 9-12 months so if you've already filed a few months ago, it will be about another 5-8 months.

*K3 Petition* Since you are already married and your spouse is outside the U.S., it would be necessary to apply for the K-3 Visa. The particular visa is considerably faster than the Consulate Processing needed to bring your spouse in as a Lawful Permanent Resident. Here, we would apply for the K-3 Visa which would take about 6 months. After, your spouse is in the U.S., the Adjustment of Status package can be filed.

From the date that you filed the I-130 petition, it takes between 12-18 months for her paperwork to be processed before she is scheduled for her immigrant visa interview at the US consulate.
