And you should try.  My mother-in-law has never worked outside the house, and she has visited us twice from Vietnam.  No issues either time with approvals.  My father-in-law retired and immediately applied for a B-2 (approved).  YMMV, but until you try how can you know whether it will be approved or denied?  

 

Best of luck!

I totally agree.. Thank you :).

Now that you are a USC probalby she can get tourist visa as our friend in Nashville got one for his parents to come 90 days

but usually Casa wants to see Moroccan owns property (house in her name)

income 

bank account in her name

and reasons to return like other sons, daughters and grandchildren

we tried for my husband's mom and did get the visa as her apartment is in my husband's name

good luck

From my personal experience, I am originally from Egypt and a US citizen. I applied for my parents one retired, the other still has a job and both got denied. I contacted the embassy with misconduct of the consular officer being so rude to them and asking them to tell me to just apply for residency for them, which they don't want to come and live here. Any way, I received an email from the embassy stating to apply again and a different officer will interview them. In their second interview, only ONE question was asked, (why you want to travel to the US? to see our son.). Visas approved with multiple entries. Also there were up for renewal by mail which they did with no issues and visas were renewed again. All I am trying to say is it depends on the officer, the reason for requesting the visa, and a proof that she will come back ( like having your siblings to take care of, leaving her husband behind and must get back to him,  own a business, etc.)

 

Defiantly, give it a try, you never know.

Thx for sharing your experience. I figured she can try and worse case scenario she'll loose $160 😁.
