I am a US citizen permanently living in Thailand for the last 3 years. I am interested in getting a tourist visa for my girlfriend to join me on visits to the USA periodically. She and I have been living together for nearly 3 years and I can show our history through photos and rental contracts.

Would it be possible to get her a tourist visa to accompany me on short (1-3 week) trips to the US?

It wont be easy. Even though as you said, you only plan to visit, being that you are a USC, the CO and or border officers will likely assume that she may immigrate and may not be allowed entry. You can try to get a B2 visa, but there are no guarantees. Even if she received a visa, she may still be turned away at the PoE.

It is hard to predict whether the tourist visa will be issued or not. The applicant has to prove that he/she has no intention to stay in the USA and he/she has strong tie to the homecountry.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

I don't look at the situation so grimly (but maybe I'm wrong, who knows..)

I think as long as you have a return ticket for her and proof that she hasn't abandoned her home country.. it should be ok.. (like bank statements, rental lease, letter from job etc..)
