In case you stull don't understand why it take so long for spouses or fiances to immigrate... 

 

It's for Your,  Their and the country safety. During the process they check your backgrounds and their background and also they check if your relationship is real. If not for those checks, US citizens with criminal background could bring foreigns for wrong reasons like trafficking. Without those checks, foreigners would be scamming citizens left and right, not to mention it would allow criminals to enter the country. Same reason why you need to provide proofs of your relationship and financial proofs. You said you don't make much. How are you going to afford your fiance AOS? It's 1.200$ and she will not be permitted to work for months, until after you file. 

 

So please get off your high horse, get over yourself and jump on the plane/boat whatever and visit her. Without that you don't even have a shot at any visa. She can't be sponsor by her family, she can't "accidentally" adjust from b2 visa either. Unless you want to be denied AOS, since USCIS will see that you have a relationship prior to her hypothetical arrival on B2 and scammed for her to arrive and adjust. 

 

Listen to experiences people giving you good advices. 

It's not the BG checks that make the process long for most people - it's the amount of applications being processed and the insufficient manpower to handle them. During most of the wait the petition is just sitting there waiting its turn. 

 

Also, I don't think misinformation is useful. It's not true that her having a relationship prior to arriving on a tourist visa will cause AOS to be denied. In fact, intent at the border is ignored when AOS-ing due to marriage.
