For my journey with my current CI (not my Ti instructor):

10th kyu to Shodan = 3 years
Shodan to Nidan = 2 years
Nidan to Sandan = 8 years (life happens)

Here is an answer from a former 3rd Dan(a long story, too long for this thread and stated in other posts).

One year between shodan and Nidan. Was shodan for 4 years and trained alone because of personal business related travelling.

Two years later I earned sandan after being recommended to the hombu dojo by my sensei. Except shodan, all the grades were evaluated by my own sensei, the hombu dojo chief who is 10 Dan as well as at least 15 other Association members holding 7th to 9th Dan in Okinawa. Each time required a majority approval.
