Business Visa - B1

Hello All,
Thanks to this forum and all for sharing your valuable experiences, which had helped me in great way to overcome my fear.
Today I am going to share my experience with you all.
Location: Mumbai
First attempt – 9th August 2016, 9:30 AM IST.
At this moment, I was having work experience of 1.3 years.
Reached Gate at 8:45 waited till 9:15 and later security person allowed 9:30 candidates to enter.
Routine checkup and interview around 9:50.
First, I was allocated counter no 27, but unfortunately the volunteer came and moved me from 27 to 33 no due to 3 candidates in front of 27th counter. Now I was on 33 no counter, before me the VO was young man in mid-30’s rejected F1 visa of a student and next it was me, He waved hand to come forward. As I reached to window I greeted and gave my passport directly without his request and at the same moment he was experiencing fatigue.
VO: Why do you want to travel to US?
ME: To attend Business meetings and requirement gathering with client.
 Pause for nearly 20 seconds started typing.
VO: What is your designation?
ME: Associate Software Engineer
VO: Sorry, this time I can’t approve your you can try next time.
That’s it game over, no further question gave my passport back and 214(b) form stating the reasons.
