This is a very complex situation, and depends entirely on your circumstances. For example, did you apply for the waiver because your time under the J-1 was expiring or already expired? Did you become engaged prior to or after applying for the waiver? In any case, did you refer to the J-1 pending waiver in your K-1 application? You can find processing wait times at the below website, though bear in mind these wait times might not apply to your exact circumstances:
