Visa rejected twice @ Mumbai
Hi,

Following is my B1 visa experience -

I had scheduled my visa interview first at 21st Nov 2016. Following are questions and answers:-

**No Good Morning or smile by VO**
Me : Good Morning

VO: Passport please
Me: handed over the passport

VO: What is the purpose of your visit?
Me: I am going to attend business meeting for requirement gathering related to a new project.

VO: Where are you going in US?
Me: Mountain View

VO: Which Stare?
Me: California.

VO: Do you have invitation letter?
Me: Yes. (handed over)

VO: What is your current designation?
Me: Senior Application Specialist

VO: What is the duration of your stay in US?
Me: It will be for 3 weeks

VO: What is your experience in current company?
Me: 4 Months

VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: I have completed my bachelor of engineering in computer science.

VO:Which year did you completed your education?
Me: 2011

VO: So from 2011, you have only 4 months of experience?
Me: No, it's just experience with current employer. I have total 5 years of experience.

VO: (started typing a lot) Have you traveled anywhere else before?
Me: Yes, I have traveled to europe for a vacation with my family. Trip was for 15 days only.

VO: With whom in family?
Me: With my parents.

VO: Can you tell the names of countries?
Me: **told all the 5 countries I visited**

VO: Are you single?
Me: Yes.

VO: Sorry, you do not qualify for this visa. But do not consider this as a final rejection, you can apply again anytime.(hander over 214(B))
Me: Thanks!

I left the counter. However as my employer asked me to apply again, I submitted a new DS 160 and scheduled a new interview after 2 weeks.

VO:Good Morning.
Me: Good Morning.

VO:Please give me your passport.
Me:**Handed over**

VO: **Scanned the barcode and kept reading something on screen for a while**. So, you have travelled to europe before?
Me: Yes. I was on a vacation.

VO: **Still reading on screen**. Sorry, you do not qualify for this type of visa(handed over 214(B)).
Me: **Shocked by entire scenario** Is there any specific reason for this denial?

VO: You have all the information needed in 214(B). **Waved to next applicant**
Me: Baffled. Left counter.

Can anybody suggest what went wrong? I am totally at my wits end as I couldn't find any reason for this denial. Especially denial of second time.
