Can I get a visa to the US if I'm on sabbatical leave? [closed]

I want to renew my visa to visit the US. The problem is that I'm currently not working because I'm on a "sabbatical" year. I've previously traveled at least 5 times to the US and have had a 10 year visa which expired 5 months ago.

Am I likely to have mi renewal denied because of my current job situation?
