I am considering filing for a K1 visa for my girlfriend that currently is living in Australia for the past two years. We have maintained contact for two years, but we have recently decided to take it to the next level. I will be spending two weeks in Australia in December. She has been studying English and she completes her diploma in January. She may continue with a Masters but no decision has been made yet. If she continued living in Australia, what impact would that have on trying to obtain a K1 visa to bring her here to marry? Would she have to go back to Colombia first? Could everything be handled in Australia or a Colombia embassy in Australia if there is one? Any advice would be appreciated.

she could stay in Australia, sure -

but

she'll need to present the Police Clearance Certifictate from Columbia, on Interview Day, at the US Embassy in Australia.

If she can get that without returning to Columbia, GREAT !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
