Be very carefull. The fact that you are asking this here proves that you don't really trust her. The truth is that it sounds kind of weird. I am not familiar with "bta" and I search on the net for that and travelling, and entering the US, and so on, and I couldn't find anything. This might be the amount of funds that she needs in order to support herself while in the US. The truth is that if she comes to you, you can fill out a form that she can show that you will support her for the time spent in the US. If the "bta" is money for visa, then it's a bit weird because I cannot see a person purchasing a plane ticket before getting a visa. Especially if the visa is not guaranteed to be received. So, I would find out more information from her, before sending any money. Please, be very cautious. You could loose a lot of money.

You don't tell us where you are from. So I don't know which are the rules she has to apply to.
Are you US?
You can ask the US Embassy in Nigeria about this BTA:

It's a very common scam nowadays. I've seen a special about this on Discovery Channel. Even intimate phonecalls are scripted and not genuine. They use stock photo's of models as pictures for themselves. Or even pictures of other 'real' people they've found online. Please take care and be smart, cancel the tickets and give away no more money. If she insists she wants to see you, or you think this is for real, fly yourself to Nigeria instead of buying someone else a ticket.

Are you really falling for this? "She" is really a "he" and he is Nigerian scammer looking to bilk you out of money. He has no intentions of coming to see you or anybody. Wake up and smell the coffee. This is a typical Nigerian scam. Do not send any money to this crook.
What the hell is "bta" money anyway? This is a line of bull.
