Visitor visa info needed (split thread)

[Divinely 0]

I was introduced to my boyfriend through his brother, who lives in Georgia and so do I. His brother, my boyfriend, lives in Jamaica. I don't know this process, and new to it all. I am ready to see him, I am about to get my passport with the hopes to visit Jamaica. My question and concern is, how do I get him here to visit me. He has a passport, as he go to Canada often to work, but how do I get him to visit me here in US?

He will need to apply for a US tourist visa via the local US embassy, it will have very little to do with you. He will need to prove strong ties to his home country, reasons he will return, such as a good job, enrollment in university, minor kids he looks after, a thriving business etc. This can be hard to do with a girlfriend in the US.

How have you met so far?

you cannot do anything to 'get him to the US..'...if he wants to apply for a tourist visa, he applies and qualifies solely on his own merits...having a USC GF will not be a positive thing.....

I suggest he also bring his T&Es to the POE as well because he would also need to convince the CBPO he is not an intended immigrant. Judging from the OT's post he is almost certainly going to be pulled to secondary for a status check.
