B1/B2 - First Attempt - Rejection
I had my B1/B2 visa interview on 23rd Feb 2018 and here is how it went.
Mumbai 10 AM slot.
VO: Passport please.
Me: Good Morning. Here they are.
VO: Why do want to go to the States.(While handing over the old passport back to me)
Me: Business Meetings and Customer Trainings(invitation letter is for customer training and hence the same).
VO: Will you be receiving the training?
Me: No. I'll be giving the training.
VO: Training on what?
Me: We have recently created a product XYZ for our clients which I will be Training them on.
VO: How long were you in the UK?
Me: 28 days for the first time and 18 days for the second time.
VO: I am sorry but I cannot approve your Visa today. You can apply again.
Me: Thank you. (Totally baffled and lost)
I am still not sure what went wrong but I suspect that my DS 160 mentioned Business Meetings and while answering I answered Product Training as well which is the basic reason for my rejection. I am a Project Manager and have been to UK(twice) on Business Visa.
Thoughts?
