Help urgently required!

[Ranii 3]

This platform has always been my go to place. Thankyou in advance to all the members who will help me with their insights. I am a greencard holder and my husband is a US citizen. I am currently pregnant and due in October. I want my mother to visit on visitor visa so that she can meet her grandchildren as it is a tradition in our country when a girl is pregnant her mother comes.She is a divorcee,currently has $10,000 in her account, two rental properties under her name and is a sole caretaker of her father in Pakistan who suffers from Parkinson’s disease as all her siblings are all around the globe and my grandmother passed away. Inorder to make her case strong should I write she will finance her 3 weeks trip herself or should my husband finance it as I am currently not employed.what other documents should I include to show strong ties ? A letter from hospital showing my grandfather suffering from Parkinson’s and is bed ridden? I am so confused. Please help

I'm not sure your grandfather counts as a tie if she is supposed to be his sole caregiver but can leave him to visit you. How long would she want to come for? And when is her interview?

One of my other aunt will come for three weeks from Saudia to look after her father meanwhile. She will visit me for three weeks only.

Even if she gets her visa after my delivery she can still meet her grandchildren. Some people have successfully been able to book slots within months time. I think the key is to check at odd times.

And that's my point - if somebody else can look after him in her absence, it's not much of a tie. By all means use it, but I just wouldn't assume that will count as a strong tie.

Not sure what's 'urgent' about this.

 

The truth should be written regarding who is paying for the trip, not what answer you think will make the case stronger.

 

Not sure why you think any documents can show strong ties - there's a reason why no documents are required. Most of the information needed to make the decision is on the DS160. Anything else will be ansked at the interview.

 

Without a job her ties to home are automatically weak. Add family in the US to the mix and it does not look good, but as always, nothing to lose by applying apart from $$$.

The truth is both parties are capable and willing to pay that is why asking who should pay inorder to make the case strong.

Best if the applicant pays their own way

The answer is simple: just tell the truth. Don't try to accommodate or make up facts just to get an immigrant visa

The case will not be stronger based on who pays for the trip. That's irrelevant. The case will be made stronger by showing ties your mom has to Pakistan. If an aunt can come and take care of dad, his illness is not such a strong tie. You can try, but don't bank on it. Rental properties might work (though one can argue that she can receive the payment wirelessly from anywhere in the world) so also, don't bank on it. I am assuming she doesn't work, right? 

Bills on her name could help.

Just FYI - most of the time the IO won't look at any documentation brought to a B1/B2 interview. She can bring what she can to show strong ties but as was already mentioned, the decision is usually based on what is included in the DS160. There is truly nothing you can do to help sway the decision - your mother will have to overcome the assumption of immigrant intent on her own.
