'There are nine different degrees. It takes about 3 years to get your black belt, then you have to be a first degree for one year, a second degree for two years, and so on.'
You can't make catch-all statements about this. There are so many variables: art, school, sensei, size of syllabus, time on the mat, your personal aptitude & learning style, etc.
For example: mine (in aikido) took nearly five years, training on the mat 2-3 times a week for 2 hrs each time. My shodan test took about an hour and a half to get through. I've heard of people getting shodan after both shorter and considerably longer periods. If you do the Yoshinkan Senshusei course in Japan, training full-time you get your belt within a year, I believe.
In terms of levels of black -belts, the highest grade awarded by Morihei Ueshiba O-sensei was 10th dan.
Then again I've also seen arts where they give out black belts to anyone with enough mat time and money to pay the grading fees.
The short answer: it takes as long as it takes. And hopefully, by the time you get up to shodan, you should just be training for the sake of training anyway.
