Questions: Trying to get wife's parents a travel visa

[dylan25]

I got a few questions.
I'm an Indian born in America who's wife is from India. She has a green card.
She'd like her parents who live in India to come visit us in the US.
As for the I-134, Affidavit of Suport, is it better for both of us to fill out an Affidavit of Support form? She is doing her residency, earning about 50k a year. I am a farmer, and my income varies from year to year. Last year, I had a negative income, accountant does this so I don't have to pay taxes...deferred income etc....
So my question is should I not fill out an affidavit of support as my tax form from last year shows a negative income? And just let my wife fill out the form by herself?
As for assets, I've got a large amount in the stock market, so that should help right? So is it worth me filling out an affidavit of support w/ a negative income yet a large stock portfolio (mid 6 figures).
thanks

let your wife fill out I-134

[dylan25]

thanks.
the stocks are in my name. can she list this as an asset when she fills out her
affidavit of support?

also couple of more questions. she has a brother here in the US as well.
he has been here less time. has lower income than her. should he file
an affidavit of support for the parents as well or should it just be one person ((my wife)who does the affidavit of support?
My wife is expecting in march and her parents are coming to be here for the baby's birth ( NOT TO BABY SIT). Would that be better reason to put for visa than tourism?
many thanks

She can list those stocks as assets.

Let her only file I-134. Send proof of her brother's legal presence in US.

Purpose of tourist visa is "tourism" and nothing else.

thanks. I told her and she for some reason thinks that listing tourism is not a good idea, and putting coming for birth of baby is better. She said people list tourism for reason to visit US and they get rejected. She asked me to ask why "tourism" is the best choice.
thanks

That is because they are applying for "tourist visa". Very simple.

Baby birth is definitely rejection because they can do baby sitting!
