Hi Chini,
Yes, my MIL got her visa at first try. I had sponsored her visit. I would have opted for self sponsorship only if she faced rejection the first time around.
Honestly I was really discouraged by a lot of people [friends, family and other well wishers] who mentioned that my MIL's chances of rejection were higher. But it turned out to be the opposite in her case. She was given her 10 years multiple entry visa on her first try.
I followed all the procedures listed on this website for sponsoring Parents/In Laws. She asked for a translator and were asked the following questions -
Where are you going?
Answered ABC state of US.
How long do you intend to stay?
Answered - 1 month. ***
Do you have any property in India?
Answered
How many children do you have?
Son in India and Daughter in US.
What does your Son do?
Answered
Where are you going to stay?
With daugther and son in law in EFG city of ABC state.
When did your husband leave?
Answered
Do you get Pension?
Answered

The VO then looked at her computer screen for sometime and then told my MIL that her visa was approved. No documents were asked to be shown even though she was prepared with a whole bunch of them.
Notes
*** In my MIL's visa application I had listed her duration of stay as 1 month only.
Hope this helps.
