Wife's parents applying for visitor's visa - Can our niece com

[audelair]

My wife's parents are hoping to visit the US in the near future. I have seen that a few people on this forum have been successful obtaining visitor's visas.

 

I was wondering if anyone sees any issues with her parents applying to also have our niece come along? She is my wife's sister's daughter, and will be around 5 years old soon.

 

I googled around and found that some people had problems with getting kids to come, as immigration is afraid they will stay. Has anyone had any success with this type of issue? Would it be easier for her to come with her mother (if my wife's sister can find time to visit)?

 

Thank you very much!
