Intention to return & Financial means

[Skwirl 1]

My wife has applied for a travel visa in order to visit my family. I called yesterday and they gave an appointment date for March 9 in Tegucigalpa Honduras. After reading these posts, it seems she has a good chance of getting denied. I am wondering if its worth spending the money to fly to capital, hotel and other expenses. We have already applied for Petition for Alien Relative 6 mos ago and I stated that on the Travel Visa application. She lives with her mother and doesn't work so there is no lease agreement, mortgage etc. Financial means would be provided by me so she has no bank statement, employment etc.??????????? The reason for coming back would simply be because its illegal to stay and she has to live at home until the I-130 is approved and then do that interview in the future in Honduras.She simply wants to visit my family since the I-130 is taking longer than expected. This is the first time she has applied for a travel visa and has never filed for any kind of visa before except our I-130. I can write a letter and give Yearly income statements but not sure if that is enough? Anyone have advice on these two subjects?

Thanks in advance!

there is virtually no chance she will get a visa...the excuse of it's illegal to stay has no weight...if it did, we would not have any visa overstayers! She has no job, no school no anything, thus no reason to return, because....an amazing number of people 'change their minds' after arrival in the US and decide to stay put and attempt AOS in the US...far too many gazillions of people have done this, and her merely saying that it would be illegal to stay is meaningless. She does NOT have to live at home and wait for an interview....usually, as soon as the American spouse figures out that an AOS is possible, well, here comes the mind change...and the VOs have seen this astonishing mind change far too often. Any letter from you has zero value overcoming immigrant intent...there is nothing you can say nor promise that overcomes 214b. Given the sum of money it would cost to have her travel to the capital and statistically be denied (about 99.9%, IMHO) it would be a very expensive trip for naught.

It is already really hard to get a visa when having a job. It will be a waste of money since she is most likely to be denied. You guys should wait for the approval of I130.
