I initially came to Tomsk, Russia to study the language on a Student Visa. While here, I met a great girl after 1 month, who is not on any of the Marriage Sites .... only a local Tomsk dating site (where I met her). Anyway, after another month I left for Kiev, to study another course I had enrolled in, but after a month and a half I came back to Tomsk. We have since been on a holiday to Sochi, that she had already organised with family and I ended up tagging along. She has enrolled in a English course, as she said she know has a reason to improve her English. And generally everything is going, great. The next thing we want, is to get a Tourist Visa to Australia. I know an Australian / Russian couple in my city who did this, so I am hoping they have some advice ... but was hoping for anything else, here. Thanks Dunromin Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/14/2008 8:10:43 AM   What do you want to know? The tourist visa application is a straight forward process. Just follow the links of the Australian Embassy website, complete and lodge the necessary forms.

All the information you require is here.

For all we know you could be from darkest Africa so how can we possibly advise you regarding a visa application if we don't know where you're from? :) maccamlc Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/15/2008 12:16:46 AM   Yep, Australian :) I'm 26 and my girlfriend is 25. I have looked at the website and got as much information as possible from them. So, I must invite her, by writing a statutory declaration, etc. However, I know that the main points of the Visa are proving that you have a reason to return to Russia and proving that you have enough finances. My girlfriend does not have a lot of money herself, but her brother-in-law is loaded. If he was to sponsor, does that improve the chances? I will also sponsor, as I am inviting. Also, she does not own property, have any children, etc. So to prove she will come back, we need a letter from her employer, atleast. But is there anything else that can be done, to tell the embassy she will not be a risk? Adman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/15/2008 2:40:31 AM   Macca I dont know anything about Aussie but in NZ it is ten times easier to get a "limited purpose visa" than a "Tourist Visa". Immigration will never tell you this though, they would rather keep you running round in circles, hoping you never figure it out. Check out if Aussie have the same. To sponsor a girl to come to NZ on a Touris visa, is the same immigration requirements as for marrying her. If you got supporting letters from ALL her family and ALL your family, it could be possible. If brother-in-law has some clout, it would be easier if he sponsored her. That leaves the question though of, why does she want to go to Australia when she hasnt been to any other country. maccamlc Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/15/2008 4:55:06 AM   I have no idea if there is a limited purpose visa for Australia. I think the closest thing may be that the embassy asks for a bond to be paid that is only returned when the person returns within the visa validity. But I thought this was asked for by the embassy, not an option when applying? Yeah .... the main thing I can imagine is proving she will return, and why she hasn't been to any other country. We are going to Ukraine together next week, but its not like that means anything, as she could enter with her Russian Internal Passport. Has anybody been able to make it work? maccamlc Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/15/2008 5:52:04 AM   One thing is that she lives at home with her parents, who are elderly. She has 3 sisters and 1 brother. The next youngest is 12 years older than her. I guess that could be a reason to say she would return, so I guess we have to hope its enough!

Dunromin Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/15/2008 8:02:13 AM   maccamic: This is a simple enough process. From what I can gather my wife was among if not one of the first of the new wave of single Russian Women to receive a “Visitor” visa for Australia. I was strongly advised against trying and I did consult a few experts. None could find precedents. I took the attitude our relationship was at a brick wall without she visited my country to see for herself. I had no intention of marrying someone who didn’t know what they were getting in to. Originally, I approached it with a solid letter of invitation in which I declared I would underwrite (Not necessarily pay for) all of her expenses and would ensure she complied with all visa provisions including exit date. I had that letter witnessed by a C-Dec or JP (I can’t recall exactly) My wife had some money invested together with her parents. She extracted some of that and set it in a bank account specifically hers, thus producing statements indicating some personal means (Hint, your G/F’s BIL might be able to assist). She completed the necessary documents, gained appropriate leave documents from University (She was still studying part time back then) and lodged the application. We made no secret of what the purpose of the visit was and the only oddity was the Au / Moscow embassy called her and extensively interviewed her by phone, ironically enough, mainly questioning her as to whether she knew who she was visiting and that she was sure she would be safe, then granted the visa without delay. IIRC, it took less than two weeks from posting the application to receiving an answer and another 5 days to receive her passport back with visa affixed. (Her home town is in Siberia also and she was back home at that time). We did the visitor visa thing several times, my MIL, FIL, BIL, SIL and other friends have now done likewise and we have never been refused or even questioned. During the process of our SC-300 (Fiancé Visa) application, I protested the time lag and we were actually offered another Visitor Visa whilst we waited. I believe this is now not uncommon. FWIW, I’ve never used an immigration lawyer (Although I did speak to two by telephone when we first seriously contemplated this ridiculous idea) at any point of the process. The Au / Moscow website is the basis for everything you need and NO the visitor visa process is not the same as a partner visa application, not by a long way. It is much simpler and frankly, if you don’t have some kind of record and she is legitimate I would be very surprised if she was refused. maccamlc Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/16/2008 6:42:11 AM   Thank you Dunromin. My case does seem very similar to yours, and it seems as though we must take the same approach. Dunromin Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/16/2008 7:11:32 AM   Just for goodness sakes, do it exactly by the book and pay attention to detail. I don't know how many hard luck Visa stories I have heard and every single time I drill down on one of them, I find something they did wrong or some piece of information they withheld. salon1 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/16/2008 8:22:54 AM   DANNY IS NOT THE BAD BOY BUT THE WONDERFUL MAN HE TO VERY KIND THE SALON HAS NO NEWS WHERE IS TO DANNY AND IRA IS WE WAIT EVERY DAY FOR THE NEWS .WE TO WORRY MUCH jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/16/2008 6:23:10 PM   "DANNY IS NOT THE BAD BOY BUT THE WONDERFUL MAN HE TO VERY KIND" Translation: He knocks women up and gives them houses for their trouble. We have so many hurricanes. Here's hoping a nice size one is aimed straight at danny and his small boat. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/16/2008 6:32:28 PM   He's got to be kind 100K investment in a house he can get kicked out of on land he doesn't own. Should learn the Rules on property ownership in Russia. maccamlc Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/17/2008 3:20:31 AM   Don't worry, we will be paying attention to every detail. And the hint should be useful. Her brother in law is willing to help with that. But, will it be OK to put the money in her account, get a balance statement than draw it out and give back to him ... or is there a requirement that it must be in the account for a certain period of time, minimum. I have seen that a Student Visa says 3 months minimum for money, but can find nothing about Tourist Visa. Dunromin Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/17/2008 7:16:21 AM   Don't know if there is any time requirement. I doubt Russia requires a demonstration trail of accumulation. Suddenly "Having Money" is not unusual in Russia. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/21/2008 5:08:34 PM   Hey asswipe from KGB to FBI, that's funny. I guess that's your english translation from you false posting as a transvesdite Russian female. Talk about someone with issues. See idiot, I'm married, I don't have a bastard child coming into the world and I didn't have to spend 100k in Russia just to get laid. Though the pictures I've seen of you, your partner gave you a handicap discount. Yeah even ugly morons qualify. KGB to FBI signifies in your own handwriting that you made those post's under salon girl. What a fag. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/22/2008 5:36:34 AM   we not start a house yet? Forgot which language your writing in? Are you typing as the female Russian transvesdite? That's very similar to the way the salon girls write. Also when the totally don't CAP their letters they use "i" the same way you do? Too many similarities gives you away and you can't help it because your feeble brain works very slow. It's all leaking through Danny, you're a fraud and have been posting here under different names. You cannot get away from the way you write or is it rite in your languages. It is almost the same as a fingerprint. Who would waste their time storing your pictures, I'm sure no woman in Russia keeps them either. So you haven't built a house yet, hmmmmm, so what your saying is your still yanking on it with both of your dates from Russia for your sexual satisfaction?
