Any old peeps in the house? Has anyone's SO successfully apply for a tourist visa to come and visit him here in the US?

AbuS' friend is a well establish dentist who owns his own clinic, is married and has 2 young children. What else would be good for him to do to show that he has ties to Egypt and doesn't intend to immigrate?

And what can we do on our side here to help?

I think its easier for family such as elder ladies to get a visa than it is for a young middle east man. All you can do is try, but make sure he has strong ties to his home country (work letter, rental agreement, bank account statements, proof of money to pay for his trip). If he doesn't have any evidence of strong ties his chance of getting a visitor visa is not very likely.
