The DS-160 is for a visitor visa ,there is no such thing as inviting someone or an invitation letter for a visitor visa..She must apply and be approved on her own merits, not yours. She will have to show very strong ties to her country. ie:a good job, savings and owning property in her name. The chances of her getting a visitor visa without having strong ties are slim because she has a US boyfriend and the consulate will assume she has immigrant intent. Good luck!!

Your timeline implies you are applying for a spousal visa: you also have a girlfriend you are trying to bring over?

Ok i guess you guys misread my question, i am not sure how familiar are u guys with the form, but anyway here it goes on the ds 160 form on US CONTACT INFORMATION (see below) my gf put me as her contact here in US. Since she put me as the CONTACT PERSON does she need to indicate friends or other on RELATIONSHIP TO YOU question. My choice is other since she is not my friend but maybe i am wrong thats why i ask here just to confirm it. Dont worry my timeline that was way back 2006 i am already separated. I just want her to visit me here.

Yes sir i am aware of the PROCESS, thats why i ask here since there is a US contact in the form. Since she put me as the contact its asking what is the relationship between me and her. Please check the form so that u know what i am talking about. Thank you.

She can indicate "friend" or "other", whatever suits you the best.

Yep, I would put friend.

"Boyfriend" is not a legal definition of anything. Saying she's visiting a "friend" is not a lie.

HOWEVER, keep in mind that lying to immigration officers has severe consequences. While saying that you're a friend is not a lie, if she is asked specifically "Are you visiting your boyfriend?" or "Do you have a boyfriend in the US?" the answer is "yes."

Anyway today was my girlfriend interview and sadly to say that she was not approved, about my girlfriend she works on a local government, she has money on the bank, she doesnt have immediate relatives in the US. Questions that she was ask was what is your work? what is the work who invited you? lastly what is your relationship to the person who invited u? and my girlfriend say friend on the form but he is my boyfriend. And right away the interviewer said that she cant approve her since her boyfriend is still legally married. And my girlfriend said that i am separated and the interviewer still stick to his decision that i am still married. Anyway i do expect the interviewer will question about me no doubt the day we filed the form. Anyway see you Philippines on October.
