I'm writing on behalf of my boyfriend who is applying for a B2 to come visit me for 3 weeks in DC. He finished his Bachelor's in pharmacy and is only working part-time now while he returns to school to get a supplementary certificate. He will graduate in December and wants to visit me before then (and can do everything but exams remotely).
My question is whether he should say I am just a friend or a girlfriend. I've heard mixed responses. I'm worried that if they know I'm a girlfriend, they will think he is a risk to stay to be with me. His trip is definitely only going to be 3 weeks and I told him to bring copies of his course registration and exam dates to his interview. Do you think this is enough? Or should he just say we are good friends and he is visiting to sightsee?
Other info--he has never applied for a US visa before and is an Egyptian national. He has no family in the US and only one other friend here, but in a different state. His interview is coming up in a couple of weeks.
