I am an American citizen living in the same country as my boyfriend. We met in Russia, and I tried to take him to America to meet my family (on a tourist visa), and they denied him. I want to take him to America for 2 weeks from here (India) so he can finally meet my family and friends, and also see a little bit of where I am from.

Some people suggested we get married so that he can obtain a visa easier, but I've read online that being married to an American can actually make it harder to get a visa.
My question is what should I do?
Should he even say that he is going with me? I need to go home to renew my visa for here, but I really want him to come with me.
How can I make that happen? Please help!
