They normally dont see any documents. Also, Your inlaws should not have asked for such long duration. Few very apparent negatives.

1. Only daughter in US, they right away suspect pregnancy care and dont like that idea.
2. 6 months period of stay. Should have asked for much lesser period of time. Requesting 6 Months again re inforces their conviction that they are coming here for helping in pregnancy. Also, if they can be away form their business/job/school for 6 Months what would prevent them for staying in US for longer periods?
3. Your inlaws re inforced the point above by mentioning that no one will take care of their school in their absence. Means that school is not a strong tie to come back and can be kept closed for months/years.

You have to understand VOs are more interested in knowing ones reasons to come back to home country and apparently your in laws didnt provide any.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

If they immediately apply the VO will ask what has changed apart from duration requested since the last time and it will only show desperation to officers if you apply immediately. Again re inforcing the thought that they want to come for pregnancy alone.

The one thing that you can certainly try is that MIL tries for visa alone and FIL stays back. This has higher chances of approval in my opinion.
