Thank you for your service to the country. The answer to your question depends on the country of which your girlfriend is a citizen. Most foreign nationals require a visa to come to the US, even for a visit. Some citizens of some countries do not require a visa to come to the US. If the only question that you have is an application to obtain a tourist visa for your girlfriend, a few clicks on the Internet should get the answer. Most of the time, we do not get involved with tourist visas because they are generally all completed thru the US consular abroad and do not require any involvement of the Department of Homeland Security here in the US. If you are looking to find information on how to obtain permission for your girlfriend to come to the US as a fiance or as your spouse, the military will often have assistance available to you to provide guidance. Alternatively, you can always consult with a local immigration attorney for further guidance. Good luck and thanks again for your service.
