Moving to US - no links, no relatives, no jobs

My dear friend is wanting to fulfil a lifelong dream to move the US. The have a visa appointment in London start of Feb. They have no links there - no relatives or a job. Her DH has had an informal offer of a job (retail) but nothing formal in writing as they have said it would be dependent on getting a visa. Friend would look for a job when there.

my friend seems to think that after the Feb meeting they will be awarded a visa within weeks and is planning her life accordingly (inc handing in her notice at work). Am I right to think she’s living in cloud cuckoo land?!

what is the likelihood of her getting approved?

They are from 2025 actually (so can apply next year).

UK was actually eligible to apply in October 2024 for the 2025 draw.

I wonder what visa they think they're going to get.

Any update, OP?
