This is not really true, particularly with the effort that the Japanese government has been making in recent years to bolster tourism.
 
As an anecdote, 5 years ago my filipina wife (girlfriend at the time) had absolutely no trouble getting a japanese tourism visa (sponsored by myself while I was still in the process of divorcing my ex). That also being said, she sailed through a US B1 and had visa in hand in under a week as well.

Much of the time, the decision on your B-2 visa has been made before you even set foot inside the embassy, you're just going there to hear what it is.

Invitation letters do little/nothing in the case of B2 applications. Likely you won't even be afforded the opportunity to present it at the interview. 95% of the decision is made before the interview takes place based solely on the DS-160.

Consider the Hong Kong Disney park as a backup, no visa required.

University students often have several months available at a stretch. Someone independently wealthy and not in need of a job has the time available. Someone who can telecommute if necessary can afford 3 months away. Please do not try to 'stir the pot' by introducing suppositions not based upon any fact or evidence.

That is misrepresentation and will earn you a lifetime ban if you're caught.

Not for the B2.
B2 should be pretty much routine if you're residing overseas long-term together with your wife. Will be 99% decided before the interview even takes place based solely on the DS-160 contents.

A tourist visa is for people to VISIT the US and then RETURN to their own country. To apply for one with the intent to change status in the US would be fraud.

Philippine National Statistic Office, have you already filed a ROM with whatever local Philippine embassy/consulate serves the jurisdiction you were married in? You'll need one when your wife renews her passport in her married name in any case. In lieu of an NSO certificate you may be required to authenticate a foreign certificate with the local Philippine embassy/consulate.

Yes, as long as you're just attending meetings and the like and not actually performing work, that's the appropriate visa for you.

So the marriage isn't valid, because she was still married in the USA at the time of their marriage in Tunis. I would assume this means he needs an annulment in Tunis to officially terminate the records there. They can't apply for a CR1, because their marriage wasn't legal, and likely can't apply for a K-1, because they have not legally terminated the invalid marriage in Tunis. Also appears she has no interest in continuing any relationship with this gentleman from Tunis.
OP, you can apply for a tourist visa, which you're likely not to get due to past attempts to immigrate to the USA. There is my old USC girlfriend had my baby in the USA and I want to go there visa. Your child, if they so choose and qualify to sponsor you, can apply for a family reunification visa when they become an adult. But it appears you're not even being given the chance to know your child, and you may not even be on the birth certificate.
I'd suggest you clean up the situation with the marriage in your country, as it wasn't a legal marriage and must be cleaned up legally. Then go on with your life. You former gf has written you out of her and the child's life. You have no power to change that unless she wants it to change. Except hiring a lawyer to fight an international child custody case for you. That also will not get you entry into the USA, but might get you some sort of visitation rights with the child.

There is absolutely no chance if you do not apply.
