I (USC) brought my wife to the US under a K-1 visa (from Belarus) and we were married 15 months ago and she is now a LPR (green card holder).

 

Her single daughter (my daughter-in-law) is a 23 year old university graduate who wants to come to visit us here in the US for a few weeks.  I understand that she needs to show "ties to her home country" such that she convinces the consulate that she intends to return after her visit.

 

Her daughter has traveled extensively to various Schengen countries and recently spent two months in Vienna, Austria, studying German.  She has held a variety of jobs but hasn't established a career yet.  She has a boyfriend and they've been a couple for over 1 year.

 

As she now presents herself, I'm guessing that she'd be unlikely to be approved for a visitor visa due to her age, marital status, lack of home ownership, etc.

 

Are there any things that she can do over the course of 6-9 months that could improve her chances of having her B-2 visa approved?

Her travel history is her biggest strength IMO. I guess she could travel more, but that would only be very marginal at best.

In just 6-9 months, things like a job would likely not play much of a role IMO.

Don't marry, or even do so on a timeline, for a visa application. Not sure how much it would matter - if at all - but just pointing out that she can always reapply if she ever gets married.
