Me and my fiancee plan on getting married soon. (She's an Australian national. I'm American). I plan on moving to Australia after that happens. We're starting the immigration/VISA headache soon, but before we go ahead with that we're trying to figure out if it would be better for us to get married here in the US, or over in Australia?

I went through the process with my husband (he's the aussie, I'm the yank) a year ago. It doesn't really matter where you get married, just keep in mind that you will have to wait for a few months for the paperwork to go through. We got married in the US, had most of our paperwork sent off within the week, and were granted the visa within 4 months, and I had a fairly complicated case due to an issue that turned up during the health screening.

One site I found really helpful is http://yanksdownunder.net, they've got a lot of people that have gone through this, and are really good about giving advice. Feel free to inbox/email me if you've got questions as well.
