   Your relatives in the US only show reason why you may not leave.  Your past travels show you are responsible with the visas you have.  It is more important to know what will make your family leave the US than why you want to enter.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Not sure what you mean by "sponsor"?  There's no sponsoring a tourist visa.  

 

Chances of them getting approved for a tourist visa depends on their compelling reasons to return to their home country after vacation in the US.

You normally can’t acccompany your family to a visa interview if you are not applying for one yourself.  Your wife will tell the officer of course that they will be traveling with you and you already have a visa.

Any approval  from embassy we can get to accompany my family?

Normally only done when the family member applying needs physical assistance in some way (ie. disabled) and at the CO's discretion, even still.

 

As said earlier, small chance of you being permitted to sit in at the interview since you are not applying for yourself.

Perhaps a waiting area you can remain in, though, not all have this either.

Thanks dear..

One more question

I have strong ties in my home country..

A well settled business here..

My mother,brother and his family and my nephew living with me..

Usually i travel  alone every year for holidays ..just came back from canada after holidays and family insisting to go somewhere as they never travelled with me before except one travel of my wife with me for Umra in 2015.

So what could be the best choice..either i have to apply for usa or any otjer country

Your ties won't be considered since your wife is the one applying---you have a visa already.  She will be approved/denied based on her merits.  What are her strong ties?   Since you would be travelling together with your children, family would not be one of them presumably.

Your wife is an adult and able to be there for the kids, so unlikely.

by the way have they changed the rules, kids under 14 used to not have to interview if a parent had a visa already like you do.

You likely can’t join her during her interview as you are not applying and she’s an adult.

 

prepare supporting documents for her that will show she has sufficient ties to go back to your country, e.g. job leave approval, property or business owned, kids going back to school etc. 

 

Also, is this her first time to interview for a US visa? Practice answering typical consul questions with her so she won’t feel too nervous and panicked the day of.

of those differences between us, for it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence.
And there are so many silences to be broken.”

My family recent applied for a visit visa and it was their first time as well. 

 

Like it's been said here again and again, answer what's asked and don't give inaccurate information.
