Well, my fiance and I were all ready to file the paperwork for him to come to the US. We gathered all the documents and were just about to send everything in when something came up. We now might have to change plans and I might need to go to Australia instead. I know this site is only set up for immigration into the US, but can someone point me in the right direction for looking the other way?

Here you go:

http://www.visabureau.com/australia/spouse-visa.aspx

8-30-05 Met David at a restaurant in Germany

3-28-06 David 'officially' proposed

4-26-06 I-129F mailed

9-25-06 Interview: APPROVED!

10-16-06 Flt to US, POE Detroit

11-5-06 Married

7-2-07 Green card received

9-12-08 Filed for divorce

12-5-08 Court hearing - divorce final

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Hello there,

Yes, please contact us if you need some assistance. Is your fiance Australian or are you? When are you planning to get married? Send me a PM if you'd like more help (k.bruinsma@visabureau.com)
