Since your mother planned to pay cash for house, she should not have put money in the stock market in the first place. If she still desires the house, she can try to find alternative financing, such as borrow from private parties, etc.
Otherwise, she is not going to get the deposit back by a long shot.

Based on her nationality, age, and marrige status, it would be hard for her to come to U.S. and stay more than 6 months in the furture once she has a rejection in her visa history. And also since the stock market was terrible in the past several months, the cash she has is no longer enough to pay for the house. Based on the above 2 factors, she wanted to get out of the contract. She paied >20K for the deposit already. Is there anyway that she can get the deposit back?
