There is a very low chance of getting approved with visa if the two of you have not met in person yet. It is really important that he visit you first.

In some cases it is possible if he has special conditions that will not allow him to travel, for example is health conditions that are not suitable for travelling by plane. Of course this needs to have proof through medical certificates.

It might be possible but you should have a proof that you have secured/been accepted for a place in a school/university that is recognized by udi as basis for student visa.

But to be sure you can inquire about it once you are here. Keep in mind there is no assurance that you will be allowed.
