Hi,

My name is Jun Zhou.

I am holding passport from PR China. I am currently living in US with expired H1b visa. My visa was expired 5 yrs ago. I am planning to immigrate to Australia. What's the best way to do the immigration?

I am going to marry my finacee in Australia. I tried to get tourist visa in USA to get into Australia to marry my finacee but my application was rejected by Washtington embassy office of Australia. The reason was that my visa is currently out of status for long time.

So either i have to go back to shanghai for a tourist visa or spouse/finacee visa, or stay in USA for a spouse/finacee visa. I don't want to waste $1500 and 3 month in USA if i will be rejected again because of my expired visa although the Australia immigration officer told me that my expired visa in USA has less inpact on spouse visa than tourist visa. Anybody has experience on this complicated issue?

I would prefer to get this visa in USA instead of China because i might have problem to get back into USA if i leave now and i have to be in USA for other reasons.

thanks

-jun
