Mothers Visa: Recent Widow

[rajan]

Hello,
My father paased away in jan and I (on green card)want to invite my mother for 6 months to stay with me for a change.
I have only one sibling (brother) who is on OPT(ends in April end) and will join a school as F1 in end of march. my mothers appt is inmid march at delhi..
she has every intention to return to manage our
big house , big home run nursery, tenants...

please advice on:

1) Can I in my invtn letter and my mother state that purpose is to visit son for spending time with some and tourism upon death of husband for some change

2) As in the marital status my mother will write widow
and this might lead to consulate asking when did husband pass away....it is better to say i am going to visit for change upon husbands death and spend time with son for some tourism...Is that advisable??


3) does my mother have to show brothers documents??? source of funding for studies is personal funds via a loan acquired in usa thru me (green card holder)

4) do i have to mention my wifes name (us citizen) n invitation letter .(she is housewife and also dependent)...her name will appear on the bank statement...

Thanks for your help...I hope a yes and no answer can be given to my questions...
Please help in this difficult time
rajan
