ORIGINAL POSTER

I want to get a usa marriage visa, marry my fiance in Hawaii, rent my house out there, then come back here to live as home base. Returning to usa sometimes.

Is this going to be straight forward, or do I need to hire some help ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The process of obtaining a USA marriage visa can take some time and may require careful planning. Insights from others indicate that while it can be a straightforward process if you handle it yourself (e.g., filling out the necessary USCIS forms), it can also take several months. Some individuals recommend hiring help for guidance, while others have successfully navigated the process on their own.
