Savings Amount

[akpvsp]

Hello Group,
I am planning to invite my mother to the US. I am a research tech. at a big university. I am the only son for my parents. I am living along with my wife on an H1-B and my wife is on H4.
My dad retired last month and mom still works for State govt. School as a teacher. She applied for 6 months leave and wants to visit me.

I had quite a good money in my savings and in the last two months it went to zero. In I-134 I was asked to fill how much amount I saved in my savings.

My questions:

1. Is not having enough money in savings a major drawback for rejecting my mothers visitor visa ?
2. With the profile I have mentioned above, is she likely to get her visa approved?

can any one help me suggest their expert opinion.

thank you

As long as you can really show that you have money to support them (or they themselves have it), it is OK.

If none of you have it, then that is the problem.
