I have a B1/B2, can I get a B2 for my non working wife

[am79mba1]

Hi,

I have a 10 year multiple entry B1/B2 visa and work for a software company. I have had a couple of one-two month business visits to US and it is frustrating because I have to leave my wife at my parents place everytime.

This time on, I want to bring her with me on B2. The problem is that she is not working and does not have substantial assets on her name.

Is my wife's case weak for a B2 visa because she doesn't work. Will a joint account with my account help?

Thanks in advance !

It might help, no guarantees though. Doesnt hurt to try. Ask her to explain the actual situation as you did in your post below.
