Aussie influencer struggles with long distance relationship with husband over visa issues: 'Marry at your own risk!'

Mikaela Testa has shared her dismay after revealing she may be forced to split temporarily with her husband Maxwell Krause after experiencing a visa drama.

The influencer, 26, recently shared a clip on TikTok in which she revealed her frustration after she and her husband were unable to travel together due to visa red tape over marrying an American citizen.

'Marry a foreign man at your own risk! You guys might see me going back to Australia, I can't deal with online rumours. If you see me on a plane back to Australia, nothing bad happened other than I was not approved for a Green Card,' she began. 

'I can't even begin to express how I would feel having to get on a plane by myself back to Australia, being married to this man and not being able to be near him.'

She said it had been an ongoing issue for some time and the pair had been struggling to handle it.

'The last time Max and I entered Australia, he was held up for "suspicious re-entry", for too many entries into Australia. He has used up every Australian visa possible!' she said. 

'All the working holidays possible, he has used everything up. I can't do Max into Australia and me into the US at the same time... we have to pick one country!

'So we put all of our eggs into the USA basket. We may or may not be getting some bad news soon! Please send your good energy because I am really gonna need it.' 

Mikaela added in the comments that she and Max were preparing for the worst, after an interview went badly.

'We had our Green Card interview. It didn't go so well we think,' she wrote, adding a sad face emoji. 

In June, Mikaela officially became a married woman.

The social media star surprised fans by revealing she had tied the knot with her longtime fiancé in an intimate outdoor ceremony.

Sharing a carousel of romantic wedding photos to Instagram, she simply captioned the post: 'Mr & Mrs Krause. 20.06.2026.'

The stunning images captured the newlyweds exchanging vows beneath a white floral arch in a picturesque countryside setting before sharing a kiss as they were pronounced husband and wife.
