Default Quicker to sponsor foreign spouse or fiancee

Is it quicker to sponsor a foreign spouse of US citizen or fiancee. i.e. if the couple was married abroad vs. the fiancee coming here and getting married?

How long is each visa taking?

Too many variables ...
The K-I seems a tad quicker overall

It's impossible to say in general how long each visa takes without knowing the details of the case....where in the USA the petition is filed, what country is involved, etc.

In general, the K-1 I believe is a tad faster than the spouse visa in terms of getting the alien here. But there is more work to be done once in the USA to get the alien his green card.
