Not all the questions are in sequence. Given almost all.

Tips:
1. Look straight to his eyes.
2. Be confident. ( You act confident, You will be in reality)
3. I wore Full formals (Plain white shirt and Clean shaven) and that makes a lot of difference.
4. Go through this forum for two days before the Visa interview.
5. DOn't ever say that you are in requirement, or design or implementation or Training . Have the answer around business like business discussion / challenges / improve like that.

Other Questions I prepared from this Forum:
What will be the port of entry ?
what is the meeting date ?
When is the start and end date of the travel ?
Have you travelled abroad earlier ?
what is the agenda for each and every day ?
Do you get any remuneration while you stay in US from Paypal ?
Who will be taking care of the expenses during the stay ?
How you can guarantee that you will return ?
how will you / your company benefit from these meetings ?
what is your role in your current project ?
What is your role in previous organization ?
where you are staying ?

My best Wishes.
