I applied a tourist visa to visit my fiance 2 years ago.when I was in the interview,I showed them my salary certificate (not bad),my bank account record (there're about $6000 in it), receipt of the car I bought,and a letter from my company to show they I only have one month vacation. You know what,I still got denied.I think they give 99% single girls deny for tourist visa no matter how much property they own in China. Anyway,the record your SO applied a visa to visit you is a good evidence of your relationship.If you guys don't care about losing 100 bucks,mabey you should try.
