I've seen a few topics asking about this, but I though that this situation was different enough that I'd post my own thread.

 

I'm an American citizen, and my Mexican girlfriend is going to apply or a B-2 Visa in order to come and visit me. We're worried that given her young age (mid 20's), her relationship with me, her family in the states (a few uncles and aunts live here, legally), and possibly her job (well-paying professional job, but recently started), she would be rejected. For context, we met about a year ago when I was on vacation in Mexico, and thanks to my flexible job (can wfh from wherever) we have been able to see each other in Mexico regularly since then. She previously held a US visa that expired last summer(read: eligible for renewal instead of new visa), and in the past had traveled to the USA, Guatemala, and Cuba. Her father has a well-paying professional job, and is willing to say that he's financially supporting her in the visa process, if that helps. She has no plans to immigrate to the USA, nor work here long-term. Is there any advice on how to best obtain the visa? I have seen many times here that it's always best to be honest and up-front about relationships you have to the USA, and I'm afraid that will hurt her chances. Also possibly relevant: she is in a legal battle with an ex-employer over wrongful termination, and the court date has been postponed indefinitely due to Covid-19. Should that be mentioned in her application? She could be due for a big payout from it, and she needs to be in Mexico for the court date.

She should answer all questions truthfully.  Her chances will be based solely on her strong ties to Mexico.  The fact she has previously had a visa might be in her favor.  There is nothing you can do to help......Good luck.
