Immigration Question.?
Answer:
Congrats, hon. Visit the Australian Consulate closest to you or check one of their websites. They have information listed that will tell you what documents you will need. If you want you can consult with an immigration attorney that is familiar with Australian immigration for U.S. citizens (www.aila.org).
If your honey is attending a University or college down under, ask her to check with her school's international student advising center. They may be able to refer her to a reputable Aussie immigration attorney. A consultation may be worth your time. The attorney may advise you not to enter as a tourist if your intention is not to be in the country as a tourist but rather as an immigrant. If their laws are similar to the U.S., this could be very important and knowing beforehand will save you significant financial and emotional grief.
And I agree with what someone else says, don't renounce your citizenship. It's very difficult to get it back. Our immigration laws are not friendly to foreigners.
just go to australia illegaly just like tons of people are doing to get in U.S
You'll get through it. Once you marry, you are in like flint.
By the way, does she have a sister ...or a single Mother?
go to the US Embassy in Perth and simply renounce your citizenship.

Just get a residence card and keep your American citizenship..
God forbid, but what would you think if sometime in the future you got divorced.. You wouldnt get back so easily to USA if you renounced your citizenship..
go to the Australian embassy in USA , and get informed of what documents you need, so you can take them there. they also will tell you where to go.
because if once there they ask for documents you don't have, its a pain to get to pertinent agencies in USA to get the documents sent back yo you.
happened to me in another country
another thing, consult y any American agency ,if you get Australian citizenship, you loose the American.
i stayed with my citizenship, and live in the country with a resident ID, that is easier to get if you are married with a national, than if you ask it by your own
