Hi everyone :)

Found the forum today and just wanted to quickly introduce myself. I'm Shaunna from Western Australia and my fiance Tony lives in Memphis Tennessee. I am going to see him in May for a month (and yes I am already counting down the days hahaha) and we are planning to start the K1a visa application around October this year (I realise it takes a while but I am in a good paying job currently and want to save as much as I can before I move over there).

Hope everyone has had a good weekend :)

Very wise to keep saving....besides immerse yourself in the beautiful aussie summer.....your gunnu loose a bit of sunshine when you get to tennesse....

whilst your in oz, I would recommend anaylsing the job market snagajob.com is a good start

and looking for places to reside trulia.com

wow....its a very long trip from WA to Tennessee.....that would take 2 days...whats the cheapest air fare ?

Thanks everyone for the welcomes :) I'm really glad I found this site, even though I have only been on it for a few days the information already has been really helpful

Thanks for the tips Lynjer - I am going to check out those websites today

Airfare isn't too bad actually (I have seen worse). Cheapest I have gotten it return is $2100 but it's usually around the $2500 mark (I go Western Australia to Sydney, Sydney to LAX and then LAX to Memphis)
