More details to this question:
I have a friend who lives in Bogota, Colombia and I would want to invite him to my 45th birthday this year. When we filled out the visitor visa application we were shocked to learn the interview wait time is over 700+ days. Is there a way to waive it or advance it or anything to make my dream come true?

An invitation letter will not affect the officer's decision to approve a tourist visa application. Your friend can only qualify based upon his proof of steady employment and/or property ownership that shows equity in the property. Examples would include tax returns, w2, paystubs, a property appraisal and a letter from his employer. It would additionally help if he can show 12 months of bank statements showing he has the financial cash flow strength to finance his stay while here in the US.
