Ive applied for k1 visa recently. I would love it if my fiancé can get a tourist visa and visit me again. Now i am aware you can do this but what troubles me is can she get accepting having no job and no income? I think i have read although unsure of the validity that you must hace bank statements or proof of assets that show your tied to your home. I guess my question is, is her denial rate high with no strong ties to her country besidee family.

Bank statements and proof of assets are not proof of strong ties to her country. Having a stable/well-established job would be.

With a K-1 in file, her chances of getting B1/B2 are almost none. Meet somewhere else if you want to see exam other. 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

So long as she truly does intend to return home and this meeting is precisely as you say, there's no harm in applying B2. As @Crazy Cat said, don't get your hopes up, but if you have $160 and don't mind waiting for an appointment go ahead. Of course, her unemployment will raise some eyebrows in terms of ties to her country, but nothing is an absolute barrier. My fiancee got a B2 on her third visit to the embassy despite being a full-time student. Best of luck to you both.

Denial It's guaranteed under those circumstances.

Nope, I got a b visa with no ties to home, admittedly I did not have a US fiancé and came from a country with a very low refusal rate. Nothing is “guaranteed” one way or the other with visa applications.

Thank you for the response. Sorry i thought i read everything. Since we're under a k1 visa it will provide a difficult task. But idk i feel that when she shows how serious she is and doing anything illegal would cause the k1 to be denied that should be plenty of reason to let her visit. I think it's just best I visit when i have the PTO lol. Easier for me and less hassle
