The situation is

- my husband and I are living to italy 

- I got legally italian residence papers trough my husband 

- I dont work while my husband does.

- he claimes me as independent on his tax returns .

- I dont have bank account or any assest.

- the house lease is under my husband's name .

Invitation letters do nothing. There are a foreigner's myth that it is needed. You should apply on your own and it will be based on your own merits, nothing is needed by anybody else.

Just apply and find out.

That is the only way to apply for a B2.   There is no sponsorship for a B2.

The i-134 form made for sponsoring a relative and cover his/her traveling and staying costs  for a specified short period of time etc... 

As i mentioned above i have no work no bank statment . So i think i will need financial assest.

What do you think ?

People have said what they think.

You don't have any real ties to Italy, as a third country filer (or Morocco for that matter either).

You will have a hard time proving to the Consulate Officier that you will leave the US.   All non-immigrant visas are presumed to have immigrant intentions.

An hour on the computer, $160 fee and an interview and you will know for sure.

You think so ? 

Please tell me how can i up my chances . What you suggest to me to do in this case to avoid the visa to be denied. 

What about these ties :

- Age 

- Married to an austerian for 5+ years

- Legally residential in italy

- Traveled 3 round trips from italy to morocco in the past 5 years.

- Never seen my bro for 7+ years.

A good job, one you would be silly to abandon.

You have ties to the US and Italy so it's difficult to predict what will happen.  Apply for the US tourist visa and see what happens at the interview.  If you are denied, your brother could visit you in Italy.  Good luck!

She has legal residence and a EU national spouse in Italy, I don’t think it’s true to say she has “no ties”. Probably a better chance than applying from Morocco. Maybe even significantly better chance. 
But agree that invitations etc is useless. 

Thank you i think you got the point. But still wondering being having USC bro and LPR mother will reduce my chance of getting the B2 visa or not
