B1/B2 visa denied, applying again in a week
I am intending to travel to california for conference paper presentation.
Here is my first visa experience (4 jan 2018)

VO : Why are you going
Me : To present a paper in IEEE conference
VO : Who do you work for ?
Me : Pitney Bowes
VO : Why only your are going from your company?
Me : 1) I did central work in product release . 2) I have rare skill of AI and machine learning and the confernece is about that and i am the only person on my team for it 3) Company wants to expand name in ML space
VO: Do you have invitation letter ?
Me : Yes handed over. The covering letter was also attached. He read both for quite some time
VO: Did you write the paper?
Me : Yes. I did much of the work and also wrote the paper
VO : sorry cant accept your visa application. Handed me 214(g)

Please advice on what went wrong. I have booked appointment again within a week
If they ask me what has changed i will say following :

1) Earlier my covering letter said confernce starts on 28 and invitiation said it starts on 31, this time i have corrected the typo
2) Earlier was not feeling well, so could not answer properly. This time i am well
3) I was handed 214 (b) so i assume i was not able to prove home ties but today i have documents to show that i have my mother here and i have no intention to settle in USA
