I'm writing to ask people who have better knowledge and experience with US Tourist Visa applications.My situation is this; my friend/girlfriend wants to visit me from Ukraine here in New York. I understand that with the current situation there, it may make things more difficult than before.
One of the strong points, and our most compelling piece of evidence that she will return to Ukraine is that she must return so that she can graduate from her university. She will be graduating at the end of May, early June from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv with a bachelors in philology and greek translation. She has 3 bank accounts, 2 are personal bank accounts with some money deposited. The third is a bank account for her scholarship money. She plans on coming at the beginning of may, roughly May 1-11, or possibly April 28 - May 11 depending on when she has vacation time from her school.
She had spent a few months in Greece, attending a summer session at a university in Thessaloniki. I'm not sure if that is relevant, but I thought it would be something worth mentioning since she returned to Ukraine. Should I mention that she is a girlfriend, or just a friend? Do I speak about how we met and what type of relationship we have?
Here is a rough draft of my invitation letter. Please let me know if I need more or less information and if it compelling enough. I will be attaching a copy of my birth certification. I'm currently waiting on a renewed US passport to come in the mail so I can't put my passport #.
My name is Chris Surname, a lawful permanent US Citizen and resident residing at [my current home address listed here.]
I humbly request the approval of my girlfriend, Her name here tourist (B-2) Visa in order to allow her to visit me in the United States.

Her Name here will be presenting this letter to you, together with other evidence of her ties with Ukraine with an assurance that she will return prior to the expiration of her stay in the United States.
