While it is good for 3 years I thought (just as thought as I am a burger) that you still only had a small number of days you could stay in the country in those 3 years.

yeah, i think its like 3 months at a time

You can also try getting fake-married to provide him with the right to stay if you are really into each other and you want to get out of a shithole which is Russia.

>would he have to provide proof of getting a hotel or whatever if he gets a tourism visa?
just go to the embassy's web site and check the required dociments. It's not that difficult, is it? In case you do need a hotel booking, get a one that can be cancelled for free. That's not difficutl either.

>e's also traveled to a lot of different countries, so would that help in his chances of being accepted as a tourist?

depends on which countries. The "bad" ones are basically those 7 banned ones. Maybe also Lebanon. If he's beeen there, it doesn't mean he'll get his visa declined, but there may be problems. Btw, if the US doesn't want ot give the visa, they don't say "no". They just keep your passport up until the date you wanted to go + a couple of days. Then they give you the visa. Oops.
