So basically she planning a trip to visit me in a few months. She's mainly been working on finding the money for the trip and we've just kind of assumed that getting a tourist visa to the US wouldn't be too much trouble. Recently however, I started looking around to see how selective it really was for Chinese nationals trying to come to the US and it seems that someone in her position would have a really hard time getting her visa application accepted. Basically, she's young, unmarried, has no property, and no formal job. At least according to what I read, in the eyes of the immigration office she is a high risk. The only thing I can see that might make them reconsider is that she has yet to graduate from her master's program and if she passes the next interview she will have to return to take up her job as a Chinese teacher in Nepal under the Chinese government.
So down to the point. How likely is it that they will deny her visa? And is there anything I should do or that she should do to help improve her chances? I know that I can try to write an invitation letter and that she should provide any documents that might serve as proof that she must return, but besides that I don't know what else you can do. Because of school and my own money troubles, if her visa doesn't go through I won't have the chance to visit her myself for another year. It'll be a real bummer if her work pays off and she gets the teaching position but then gets denied a visa. We've both been fairly excited about the possibility of finally meeting.
