Hi there! I need some input on the chances of my boyfriend getting his Visa on Monday in your opinions. x.x Some Background:
I am 20 years old and from the US. My boyfriend of 2.5 years is 24 and from Slovakia. Almost 2 years ago he applied and tried for his first Visitor B-2 Visa. He did not get it due to of course: lack of country ties. However, we were naive at the time and he had just had his job facility close down. He had no job, was 22, and not any new income at the moment so it was a kind of obvious error on our part.
The second time was 4-6 months later; in Slovakia you have to wait a full year to get a visa interview right away;other wise you send the documents in for them to approve or deny your interview/visa. He sent the papers in (no interview) & was denied again; he only had his new job for 2 months.
Now it's been 2 years since his last interview; he is a graphic artist working in a marketing/advertising company (he's been there 1.5+ years) that does billboards, commericals, etc. in Slovakia. I typed a formal invitation letter from our family without insinuating that he had a love interest here but has friends here that will accommodate him. He has NO family here, and the house him & his family live in (Slovakia) was put under his name 2 years ago. He makes decent money at his job and has about 20k in his accounts. He also is going to register his round trip tickets.
Basically, I know the age maybe against him, but what do you think are his prospects in getting a Tourist Visa? Any advice to heighten our chances other than the documents (I think we have that covered)?
I've visited him twice in Slovakia; I love it, and though this holds no bearing on the Visa decision, I'd love for him to meet my family and see how I live for 3 weeks or so.
