You can't really do anything to ensure that he gets the visitor's visa. It is up to him to apply for it and to better his chances of getting it he would need to provide documentation of his ties to Afghanistan ensuring his return. So any evidence of job, property, business, taking care of family will be helpful but still not a guarantee. From your end you can only assist in providing him with an affidavit of support showing that he will not need to work while in the US and that you will provide room and board for him.

That is unclear, since the U. S. Consular Official must presume immigrant intent for every applicant who files a non-immigrant visitor visa. The applicant must 'overcome the presumption' of immigrant intent, which depends upon whether the consular official believes that the applicant will return to their home country before the expiration of the authorized stay. Also, a decision may depend upon whether your boyfriend is otherwise inadmissible for other reasons. Good luck.

He does not need an invitation letter, but it would be god to have it. Will he get a visa is a whole different story. Are you guys planning to get married? Have you looked into K visas?
