What visa?

B2 visitors visa

Your mom would file not you. Did she recently have a significant change in her life? Bought a house? Etc. if not then her circumstances wouldn’t have changed and she would likely be denied again. Mom needs to prove ties to Nigeria, not you.

Invitations don't count. 

 

All visitor visa applicants are presumed to have immigrant intent.  They need to show strong ties to the home country to overcome that presumption.  The only place to show it is on the DS-160 and at the interview.

 

If your mom's circumstances has not changed, she will probably get another denial.

Invitation letter holds no weight. If anything, having a child in the US works AGAINST her, and not in her favor. 

 

If her visa got denied, it's because the CO assumed she has more reasons to STAY in the US than to return to Nigeria. Not an easy obstacle to overcome, which might mean you will have to visit your parents instead of having them visit you.

You are not understanding how things work.  

Parents applied and got visitor visas based on their circumstances.  Their kids have nothing to do with getting visitor visas for their parents.  

What they did differently is have different circumstances from your parents.

Some parents might have been able to prove stronger ties to their country, or they have a satisfying history of travelling, or their profile is just different. Very hard to tell who gets a visa and who doesn't. It's not a fair system, and it doesn't help that every day, here on VJ, we see stories of parents that came to visit and are now adjusting status. 

 

Your mother might apply again, get her case looked at by another officer and get a Visa approved. Chances are, however, that it will be denied again, especially if nothing in her circumstances changed.

 

My mother lives in another country as well and I know it is not easy to be unable to show them your house, your kids, the city where you live. But we gotta work with what we have, so if she applies again and gets denied, you will have to think of a plan B for the family gathering.

 

Best of luck to you.

Unfortunately and a fact many may not want to admit, but the country is a huge factor. High-risks countries from a US perspective get additional scrutiny and denial rates are way higher than lower risks countries.

Definitely a factor. Nigeria has a 67% refusal rate for B visas. https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Non-Immigrant-Statistics/RefusalRates/FY19.pdf
