Friend visiting me in US, need my invitation letter?

[Athena13 10]

HI guys

my best friend, my bridesmaid wants to come to USA to visit me and travel in Spring this year, for about 2-4 weeks, mainly living with me. no other intentions. We also have another best friend in Canada, we might visit her together from US to Canada.

I got my GC in Sept last year, from K1. I'm an Australian citizen.

She is single, 31yo, Chinese citizen, has a valid Australian tourist visa til end of the year (multi entry) she got it for my wedding in Nov last year. and has a Thailand visa (she went last month in Dec). Both are for backpacker type of travel, not with a tour group. she has not been rejected visa for any country. clean criminal history.

i think she will be applying for B-2 tourist visa? fill out form DS-160?

1. what about supporting documents? her saving? she doesn't have property or car. No stable job. does have some savings.
   
2. on http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1262.html#4 it says may need to submit her CV/resume as supporting documents?
   
3. need my invitation letter?
4. or should i book some hotel or tours for her and show the itinerary with the form?
5. how easy it is to get B-2?
6. any other thoughts?

Thank you~~

there is no such thing as an invitation letter for a visitor visa. She must apply and get approved based on her own merits. She needs to show strong ties to her country.Don;t book any reservations there is no guarantee she will get a visa and that won't sway any decision, especially considering the fact that she doesn't have a job or own any property. Good luck!!!

Was there something in the Guide listed here that you didn't ubderstand? http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/297309-tourist-visa-guide/

Basically, she needs to apply on her own merits. She'll have to show strong ties to China. The fact that she holds an Australian tourist visa and (presumably) hasn't violated it will work in her favor also.
