A friend of mine did the "fiancee visa" in Europe at the local embassy there. It took something like 3-5 months to get the visa approved for travel to the US. Once there, he could start working immediately.
But this was a long time ago, I have no idea what the processing times are today? Are they listed online?
And above all, since his spouse did not work in the US, so they needed a US based citizen with "not bad" finances to sponsor him.
If you're an independent contractor based in a different country, it'll be fun times figuring out the taxes for the year that you move to the US. Both your old country and the US will want a cut.
