    USA - no idea.
    Australia - yes (you can get visa for DD), but takes longer to process, and also you may be reduced points if your looking for a skilled visa.

    dont think you can get a visa for US with any record. they are very strict. Its hard to go to the states even on a holiday if you have a record apparently, have heard that you must go for an interview for the visit. could be bull though

    Im a student, I should be finishing my degree this year. How hard is it to get a US work visa, is it just a question of applying etc or are they picky about giving out wok visas?

    Thanks
