I am an Australian who has also acquired US citizenship but currently living in Russia. I am planing on bringing a wife ( I am not married yet but am still gathering documents ) to Australia. I will be posting questions in the other forums after administration gives me privileges.

It has been so long that I lived in Australia that I fear that I will problems.

Welcome DDT! Sit back and relax, we're a pretty good group.

Feel free to ask about anything, you'll get an answer. Some answers you might actually like!

So, tell us about your lady.

Where are you at in the document process? You need two more posts anyway so might as well give us some more info here.

Hi Tim thanks for the welcome!
Though I was not looking for a wife or even a girlfriend, and assumed that I would remain single, I found a sweet and very unusual woman here in Russia. She certainly does not fit the mould for the usual Russian girl, no high heels, or skin tight pants and little make-up .... and no drain on my wallet.
Right now I am in the process of obtaining a Certificate of No Impediment from Australia so we can marry here in Russia.
None of my wages here in St Petersburg are reported, ( I work as a Teacher and an actor) and they are low anyway, so I will probably have to use a sponsor.
She has a BA in Language and some type of teaching, and speaks fluent English, Russian and German, but she also teaches English for several schools and, as usual for many teachers, has always been paid in cash. Not reported as far as we know.
We want to move to Australia where I have an application approved for further processing, for work in law enforcement related fields. I have one application going through the process in NSW but want to also apply to a different department but have been waiting until my Russian language abilities were a little more fluent. She wants to go back to school and study Political Science.

So as you can see, we will have our obstacles to overcome.
