No harm applying, you only have the application fee at risk.

You have to show you have strong ties to your country. I think you need $10,000 USD and a house. Just a good job is not enough. I don't think you would get visitors visa.

You can meet in another country. My fiance did not meet the requirements and his country is too dangerous so we meet in Turkey. If you are Muslim the country you meet in is limited but they are some. Good news is his visa was approved. It took almost a year to approve. When the two of you meet, take pictures with time-stamp or document the days you took each picture. Also, make sure you wear different clothes for each day. This will help them determine the pictures were taken on different days. Smiling and kissing is a plus. We only had one kissing picture as I felt that Turkey is a conservative country and kissing in public would not be the thing to do, but we were smiling, holding hands a lot.

Might have a shot at a B2 with a decent job and a grad degree. Else, Plan B in relatively safer Morocco or Egypt?

I think you should try with the expectation you'll be denied. If you don't try at all then you'll definitely not get it. It won't cause you long-term trouble to try getting it unless you lie in the application (which you haven't).

If you *are* approved, then it'll be like a happy surprise! If you're denied, then you expected it and can move on to Plan B.

Can you get a Schengen visa? Then you could meet in Europe.

I know it can be hard to put it in perspective, but $1000 is less than many small children in the US have in their bank accounts. That isn't even enough to afford a hotel for 10 days most likely. I know it difficult that the bar is set high for people from other countries, but a lot of people have played the system and overstayed visas. It isn't your fault, but consular officials tend to be wary.

I dont like to discourage but $1000 wont cut it.

An invitation is worthless you have to get visa on your own merits= good job, great finaces , and strong ties at home

She is paying your way & you both never met.. You both can meet in Mexico.

I do not see an approval coming your way for a tourist visa.

Get prepared to be able to handle this, or maybe the wgole thing well phase out anyway

Thanks for ur reaction to the post.

She will pay the ticket, and er sister will pay with her too..they just want me to meet them

Slim to None chances of getting visa. Good luck.

Honestly I would consider on saving you the effort and meet in a 3rd country.

• You have little money to the point you cannot afford the ticket (the embassy will request your financial statements for sure)
• You are not longer studying which is usually a strong tie to your country
• Tunisia is a dangerous third world country
• And when they finds out you are going to visit your girlfriend on her expense they will automatically think you will stay here

Not to be pessimist but I find almost impossible for you to get it approved...I've known people with thousands of dollars, properties and business who got it denied.

Though at the same people with hardly any money or assets occasionally get approved (US-based footing the bill for otherwise eligible applicants).

I think there is no harm in you trying to get the B1 visa. I am from a different country, but in a same situation as you. I Had a good job for couple of years and a little saving. I got a loan for some house repair (my parents house) just few weeks before I applied for visa, and I brought that as evidence too. No invitations, nothing. All they asked was if I work, for how long, How much I make and will I get married in America. I said I was just visiting for 3 weeks, and coming back. I also had a letter from my employer stating my employment, salary and granted vacation days that I can take for my trip. I got visa without any problems.

So would say, maybe try to save little more, and apply, there is nothing to lose (except the visa fee). Visiting in another country can be your back up plan. Good luck!

Plan to meet in a third country, then return home. This will help you develop a good travel history, which is one of the stronger elements of proof that you can show of ties to your own country.

Thank you so much for you comment here. Honestly i discovered something else about my girlfriend's family, is that they will try to do all they can't to make me not marry her, only because i'm muslim. I decided so to cancel the trip , and wait until she finish some stuff and she will come here without letting them know until she leaves .
