Is college enrollment considered a strong tie?

It is my understanding that the AMA does not offer an invitation letter for clinical rotations.  It is the sponsoring organization that does it.  They do not directly provide the medical student with a visa and cannot guarantee visa eligibility.  What they provide is a B1 visa invitation but the student is ultimately responsible for going through the United States Consulate for approval. 

Yes that is what I’ve been trying to explain all along. The company is legitimate as it is sponsored through the AMA. But the embassy website does say these circumstances are considered just like they’d consider any.

It will cost $160 to apply for the B visa.  Applying is the only way to find out if a visa will be issued.  If it gets denied, it would have no effect on any possible future fiance visa or spousal visa.

Well that is good to know at least.

i just don’t see how we wouldn’t have as good of a chance as anyone. 
1. The Embassy in the Ukraine states that third country nationals are welcome to apply for visas and they need to consider “in which consular district applicants can demonstrate the strongest ties to their country of residence which is where they submit their visa application.” 

2. It also states that students/younger applicants who haven’t had time to establish many ties to country of residence, would be looked at differently, and considered on a case by case basis. In this instance, my boyfriend is in his final year of medical school, and will be receiving documentation from his dean - a letter, transcripts, etc to prove that he absolutely must return in order to graduate next summer. We’ve done research on this, and we saw that strong ties can include college enrollment. It said to bring student ID and other supporting documents. He knows other students who have been successful in this. 
 

We have no intention at all to be fraudulent, get married, adjust status, etc. My previous posts were about the future; I am an anxious person and I don’t like to have any surprises. I’d rather know now and plan, than to not know and end up caught in a difficult situation. Anyway, that’s all I’m going to say. All I can do now is hope.

We've have a friend in Ukraine that is married, has long term employment,  has decent salary, has traveled to many countries, and owns multiple apartments.  He has been refused a B visa twice.   It doesn't matter how you or I see it.  It's how the IO sees it.  Wish your boyfriend better luck than our friend had.

Sounds like it’s more about luck and less about evidence.

It is not at all about luck.  Consular officers are required by law to vet each NIV applicant through the lens of potential immigrant intent.  In your case,  the fact that he has a USC gf and is interviewing abroad from his country of origin will work in his disfavor in evaluating immigrant intent.   
 

But it’s only $160 to lose.

Okay well if he’s denied, and we do eventually decide to marry, will the past denial have an impact on that? Like if I go to the Ukraine or Zimbabwe and we marry, and then we file for the spouse visa, would that past denial look bad for us?

Denial for immigrant intent is not a problem for an immigrant visa.

As previously stated, if  he applies for a  B visa and it gets denied, it would have no effect on any possible future fiance visa or spousal visa.
