Could any one let me know why my B1 US visa got rejected with your valuable suggestions .

Below are the Interview details:

VO: GUD MRNG
ME: GUD MRNG SIR,

VO: Passport please
ME: Fine. hand it over

VO: What is the business purpose of US visit?
ME: I will have global finance business meetings in US, These meetings are related to the my company finance and business meetings.

VO: What is your salary per annum?
ME: 6 Lakhs

VO: How long have you been working with this company ?
ME: I have been working with xyz company for 2 years

VO: Sorry, this time you not get "Vissa"

I am not really understand what went wrong and how did they judge in 3 initial questions.

I attended my first B1 visa interview on May 1st week and it got rejected. I am an experience designer in a US based product company. I believe it’s because I didn’t explain the purpose of the visit very well.

I have applied for it again and my interview is in 3 days. I got a promotion as a senior associate after completing the DS-160 and scheduling appointments. So, there’s no change in the details I have entered in the new DS-160 except that I’ve made it as an one week trip (It was 2 weeks in the previous application). I am well prepared right now for the interview.

However, I am concerned if they are going to reject right away because the situation hasn’t changed this time as per my DS-160. Should I produce the proof of my promotion and pay hike in the beginning itself to clarify? Or, will it be considered inappropriate and impact the chances of the visa approval negatively?

Hello Sir and Friends,

I need your advice, the monthly salary I mentioned in the DS-160 is different than the actual salary I got in bank account (salar slip). What answer will I give to US consolor if he asked about monthly Salary

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Kedar
