Thank you for taking the time to read my post. My situation is probably the trifecta of rejection.

Situation:

I am in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend of 3 years. She is a Chinese citizen (couple black marks there already) studying abroad in Sydney Australia. We are trying to get her a simple B-2 visa to visit the states. We have no ulterior motive besides the fact that we love each other and I just want to show her around US. We tried applying for the visa twice already, first time naively unprepared, and the second time couple months later with financial statements, school transcripts, and school receipt to show course payment. She can't get a lease statement from her landlord because it is an informal living arrangement (she just pays rent and no contracts are signed).

About me:

I am a naturalized citizen of 5 years, been in US for over 15 years. Before I became an American, I was born in Taiwan and I also hold Canadian citizenship. I am an independent citizen residing in NJ.

About her:

She is single female living abroad, financially she is still dependent on her family to support her studies and living arrangement in Australia.

I understand that this is like the worst possible situation to show for the interview, but is there anyway improve her ties? We don't want to risk a third application further black-marking her application record. I'm about to try the 'write to your congressman/senator' route, but I haven't read any good results from that route.

She does not have a congressman/ senator.

The situation is what it is, perhaps wait until she has graduated got a job can show ties etc.

Trifecta? Hmm . . . not really. Independent citizen? Hmmm . . .

All you can do is keep trying. The odds are in your favor.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

My first job was working in a Bookmakers. A long time ago.

I do not remember any Trifecta's, but the odds would have been long and the pay out would have been sizable.
