You will need to show your income, and property to show ties to your country. You will be denied or requested to bring more documents... most likely denied.

Also, Consular Officers are known to deny visas for "helping daughter to deliver baby" cases... because they believe it is "Taking away an american job".

Your chances will be better since your husband is not coming and that your daughter is only a permanent resident, but still... You need to bring enough evidence of ties to your country.

i have another questions, is it proper if i write my daughter's name and my son in law( us citizen) in my DS-156 FORM stating that they are the couples who invited and pay for my trip in US?

Yes. But in that case, they need to send you an I-134.

thanks again Sir,,here's another one, i will change my reason in my ds-156, ..to have a short-visit to my daughter and son-in-law.,is this good reason?

It is a normal reason, you must convince the Visa Officer though, not me.
