applying B2 without Birth certificate for my mom while my K1 is still on RFE process

[nenooye 8]

Hi VJ

we are going to apply tourist visa for my mom pretty soon. we want her to come to my wedding on May. my K1 application is still in RFE and we are waiting for the RFE notification on our mail.

Q1: do you think we should wait until i get my NOA2? or until K1 visa in hand.. or it will be just fine apply for my mom now.

i want to know the pro and the cons because the decision will give us time to catch flights for her and I.. airfare flies so high!

Q2: what do you think about this case?

My mom has no birth certificate she just have some kind of reference letter from midwife to the local government (surat lahir). and the letter is on awful handwriting and almost ripped off ( i mean really ripped off ). do you think this is will be the problem? she used that letter when she applied job, school and passport.

this is her condition:

-she has a small house on her name and a house with her former husband name on it (he died already)

-she is currently working as a elementary school (we have her letter of employee and letter for days off from the school)

-she has no fat bank account definitely wont be able to pay round ticket so my fiance write a letter to explain the intention to take care all the expenses of hers

Q3: do you think she will have chance to get B2 visa for my wedding?

thank you
