Nearly impossible like getting her a visitor visa to the US or reasonable expectation of success? Can someone going through the process share their experience? Reading the rules, especially about visas, rarely conveys how the process actually proceeds. If she is your legal wife traveling with you there wont be much trouble at all. It is different if she was wanting to visit Australia on her own. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn annoying it is easier to take her to other countries than it is to visit my own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hard to visit Australia but that depends on the country you were born in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: My brother backpacked around Australia for a whole year at age 18 (35 years ago) and needed nothing but his passport. He worked under the table on sheep ranches or what have you and met an Australian girl. They have now been married and living in Australia for 30 years and he has citizenship in Canada, UK and Australia, but Aus has been good to him. He and his wife are filthy rich. I bet that can't be done now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
