Are any of her family in the US without status?

No all of them have residency or permits.

Doesnt need a round trip / return ticket but if it is cheaper to buy a return  rather than one way, he can do this.. CBP wont care

Only issue with layovers  would be to ensure that he held visa for the layover country if needed, and that there was enough transit ime allowed. 

Thank you so much

Assuming he is currently overseas....

Buy which ever is cheapest    One way is fine for an immigration trip 

He is in the US and has to fly to El Salvador for his interview. Once there he has to be approved for the visa then he can come back. Im not sure if to get him a roundtrip flight.

My husband has his interview at the embassy this upcoming month . He has his approved waiver and all his documents ready. We have one problem and its purchasing the ticket for the flight. Im not sure if he should only get a one way ticket or a roundtrip? The interview is in San Salvador, El Salvador. He was illegally in the US and since he has his approved 601 Waiver he has to have his interview out in El Salvador. Do you guys recommend a one way or a roundtrip. will it make a difference?

There's nothing you can do to improve her likelihood to receive a tourist visa. You cannot sponsor one, nor can somebody be financially responsible for a tourist (even via an affidavit of support) nor ensure that she will leave the US. She will receive a tourist visa based on her own circumstances.

Note that you can still cover her travel costs and/or housing and other expenses. This is different than promising to financially take care of her. There is a section on the DS-160 where she will list who is paying for the trip, and it may be asked again at the interview.

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visitor.html

"Note: Visa applicants must qualify on the basis of the applicant's residence and ties abroad, rather than assurances from U.S. family and friends. A letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support is not needed to apply for a visitor visa. If you choose to bring a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to your interview, please remember it is not one of the factors used in determining whether to issue or deny the visa."

 

As for her, if she is paying for the trip then she should carry evidence showing that she has the means to do so, such as bank statements. I personally suggest 12 months of statements (they know the game of family members putting a lump sum of money in the account before applying for a visa). If she owns property then she should provide documentation showing this. If she has a job to return to, she should provide documentation that she is due back to the job on x/y/zzzz.

The CO may or may not request - or agree to look at - any of the evidence, but it's better to have it than not have it.

She's elderly and does not work. Her children take care of her. She does have various houses and different property though. My husband and I are running with the cost of her trip. Is there anything you can recommend to improve her possibilities.

My husbands day has finally come. He has his approved waiver and all his documents ready. We have one problem and its purchasing the ticket for the flight. Im not sure if he should only get a one way ticket or a roundtrip? Im also wondering if it makes a difference if its direct or has a layover. I would be grateful if anyone can provide feedback.

Hello all I have a couple of questions about obtaining a visa for my mother in law. My mother in law wishes to have a US visa. I am a US citizen and I plan on traveling to El Salvador where she resides. I was hoping while I was over there to accompany her to the US embassy. Im not sure if my presence and proving that I will financially take car of her while she's here and make sure she returns will make a difference. What documents do you guys recommend she takes. 

Any advice you guys can provide will be very helpful . Thank you so much.
