B1 Visa rejected under section 214b
Dear Friends,

I was attended B1 Visa Interview before one week in New Delhi. Below is the conversation and then suddenly I got rejected under 214b. Not sure how I was rejected even though answered for all questions. Note that VO didn't ask single document but I went there with my complete documents.

Me # Good morning mam!
VO # Give me your passport.

VO # What is the purpose of visit?
Me # Going to meet our client and attend business meetings.

VO # Have you ever visited US or any other country?
Me # No

VO # What is your designation?
Me # Network Lead

VO # How long you're working with current employer?
Me # 1 year and 4 months

VO # How long you're going to stay in US?
Me # 3 weeks

Suddenly she gave my passport back and said sorry your visa is not approved, please take this 214b with you. Good luck for next time.

I would like to reapply ASAP. Note that I am genuine and I had all documents in hand, but mine was rejected. Some inputs would be appreciated.

B1 Approved
A very big thank to this forum which helped me to cack the interview after first rejection.

First Interview
Location delhi
 June 2018
Attire: Jens and white shirt (casual)
I started feeling nervous while seating in waiting area because of hype which was created by my colleagues.

After Entering the building and while standing in the queue I dropped a few paper out of my document bunch(Which is another sign of nervousness)

Finally I was called out.
VO: what the purpose of you visit
Me: It's project kick off meeting
VO: are you traveling alone
Me: Yes
VO: are you traveling alone(again)
ME: Yes
VO: why your company chose you
Me: Because I am the architect of the project and I have been working on this project for the past 2-3 months.(bit fumbled)
VO: have travelled before
ME Yes,
VO Where
ME: Switzerland
VO: I can't Approve your application.

Second Interview
after six months
Location Delhi
Attire: formals Shirt trouser along with my I card.(Since you are applying for business visa it make sense to pay attention to how you are presenting yourself)

This time I was fully prepared, almost of month of practice of questions answers with my friends and sometime in front of mirror, which helped me to stay positive and focused.

I was relaxed while waiting for my turn and I also started talking to people seating next me which helped me to stay clam till the time I reached inside the building. Though I was feeling nervous but kept on talking to the people which again helped.

Finally I was called out:
VO: How long have you been associated with your organization,
Me: 6 Years 8 Months
VO: What's the purpose of visit
ME: My company has recently acquired the support contract of xyz company and I am going their to understand support structure, Application landscape and how it is supported. which I further need to explain to my team in India who is supposed to start functioning from next month.
Here is the travel itinerary (Which I handed over to him) just in case you need it for reference. first three days are reserved for meetings with technical SMEs followed by datacentre visits.

VO: (Kept on typing)what's your monthly income
Me: xxx with monthly bonus and perks
VO: Why your company chose you.
Me: Because I have 11 years of experience in different vertical of IT and I am also certified in three technologies. Its hard for a company to find person who is proficient in multiple technologies.
VO: Are you traveling alone.
Me: Yes
VO: OK, I am approving your application enjoy your trip.
