Have you recived your priority date yet? Typicall the petition will come up for review 1-2 years after the filing. The fact that she has held a tourist visa in the past without any violations is a good thing and could count in her favor. Good luck!

If you are a US citizen, it will only take as long as is needed to approve the petition, send it to Manila, schedule her interview appointment, and issue her visa. That she had a tourist visa before has nothing to do with her qualifications for an immigrant visa - unless she has ever overstayed. THAT would be a big problem.
