More details to this question:
Five years ago I visited Uganda and met the man who is now my boyfriend. He is a Ugandan citizen. While we have not seen each other in person since then, we have maintained a friendship online throughout the last five years. Over the last couple of months, the relationship has blossomed into a romantic one. We talk on the phone and FaceTime every day. We are planning our future together, and we would like that to be in the United States. We are now looking at what the best Visa option would be. So far, we have considered the fiancé visa or the tourist visa but are open to other options. What would be best?

The fiancé visa path could be pursued but you would need to have met physically within 2 years of filing the case. Tourist visas are for tourism only and not meant to be a shortcut to get a green card.
