B1 Visa Denial - 214 (B)
I am self employed and running an IT company in Islamabad. My client had invited me for a training and also business meetings with board of directors. He also sent affidavit of support and all necessary documents. I also had receipt of $6000 paid for training. My interview was scheduled at 7th Feb 2017 at 8:0am. I reached at 6:50 am at Islamabad shuttle service and reached the consulate in time. Within 10-15 mins all security checks and everything was done.

There was huge queue but staff was ready and quick to arrange interviews. Visa officers were not taking much time, they were just trying to get the interviews as quick as possible. Within few mins my turn came. I was only asked three questions.

- Why you are going to USA? - Explained
- What you do? -Explained
- Have you ever traveled outside Pakistan? (Yes to Dubai two times to attend Gitex Conference).

I had everything to proof my socio economic ties but not a single document was asked. Not even invitation letters that was good enough to explain the purpose and iternary, it had all the invoices paid for training and trip.

After denial, I am in the process should I wait or re-apply? I think the current climate in USA is not very favorable specially for a countries like Pakistan. That's one of the factors that there were 90% denials.

I am thankful to ImmiHelp and members all the info and insights offered. Really appreciate the feedback.
