This is for work permit based on AOS

It's positive to think so, but sometimes inaccurate. Let's take care with this recommendation until we know everyone's situation, available time, organizational skills, and more.

Less than 10 K3s are issued every year and you would not want to be one of those anyway.

VJ history agrees with me.  Employment authorization is not immediate.  It can take up to 8 months....although I have seen a a few shorter waits lately.  The average as reported by other VJ members is

Thanks.  I don't understand their logic.  I-130 processing time, on average, is longer now than it was 8 years ago.  Anyway, the chances of an actual K-3 (which is a non-immigrant visa) being issued is almost non-existent anyway.  A CR-1 or IR-1 spousal visa is a much better outcome.

Did you check processing times during the research?

https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

 

At the time of posting:

California - 5.5 months

NBC - 8.5 months

Nebraska - 4 months

Texas - 4 months

Vermont - 10.5 months

 

You don't get to pick the service center. Depending on your luck you can be done in 4 or 10.5 months.

 

 

 

 

What search parameters did you use.  I'm getting something completely different.  I might be looking at something else.

I was answering the question about obtaining EAD based on AOS .

 

I thought you said it takes roughly 8 months and @Nnnnnn said it was shorter based on research.

Yes, filing in attempt to speed it up. Do you mean that it doesn’t work because it takes just as long? What are the disadvantages you refer to? Sorry I have only just found out that this is an option. Is there any other alternative to speeding anything up? Or travel to wait for spousal visa? 

Not sure what you mean by “travel to wait for spousal visa,” but there is nothing that allows for you to live in the U.S. while waiting.   You can enter on VWP/ESTA/B visa as allowed by CBP, to visit.
