Hey,
 
I helped apply for my parent's visa in Indonesia. What is most important to them is your mum show strong ties with Indonesia. So what you can do it to bring documents like proof of her employment/her owning the company, bank statements, and any assets (houses, companies, properties, etc) that shows ties with Indonesia. I saw that you are providing a letter that states that you will be supporting her for her stay which is good.
 
Also, I helped apply for my cousin to come visit me a couple of years ago when I was studying as F1 student visa. She got denied the first time but got approved of tourist visa the second time. Just be honest with the officer on why she got denied and I am sure she will get the visa the second round

Well, I am not angry/sarcastic per say. I would be nice and understanding if they do not start the fire. Simple answer like, hey, that would not work, I simply will not reply and noted to myself. 
 
Anyway, I like your answer. It tells me that event hough you intend to immigrate, they still grant you tourist visa. Good on you and wish you all the best!

Anyone with real experience applying tourist visa for parents will be so helpful!  ☹️😫

Noted that. Yeah..I know for "this case". The reason why she visit us is because it is more expensive for me to go (I have a 4 year old daughter) then her to come visit. Thank you anyway for the insight. Really appreciate it 😊

I understand, thank you.

What I mean by "applying" her visa is helping her to go online to fill in DS-160. Sorry if I misleading you to the fact that I am "applying" her visa. It is well known that if we pay for her visit then we need to submit paperwork that we actually have the fund to do that. I guess this is a hard concept by some members in here and think that I try to sponsor her visa 😞

Ups...sorry..yeah I misread you. lol
Anyway, I will still ask her questions because regardless, she needs to know where she will go and what not
 
Thank you again

Thank you! 😃
Ok...I will start to ask her questions in English so she can ace the interview. Thank you! ☺️
