I am assuming that you are talking about a visa for her to enter Australia. You will need lots of patience and possibly lots of money. Be prepared to get the standard letter of rejection that will state that she shows no strong family values and they can see no reason why she would return to Indonesia after the visa expires. Do not get angry at time delays or rejections, you will not be the first and you will not be the last to receive these types of letters. Be prepared to use an agent and pay more than any stated prices. Do not question why the guy next door who lives on the dole can get his girlfriend into Australia. Somewhere in your community there will be a group of Indo/Australian mixed marriages. Seek them out and get advice from them. Above all I wish you heaps of luck because you are going to need it.
