Advice on b1/b2 visa

[vaibhav]

Hi,
I am an Indian Citizen (from Mumbai) working with Petroleum Company in Muscat for last 2 years; I am holding a Residence card. I got a job offer from Indian based company subsidiary of USA based company. My new employer wants me to attend the training course in USA for less than a week. All expenses will be born by my parent company.

1. Which visa would be appropriate for me B1 or B2 or both?
2. In which jurisdiction I will apply for NIV visa either in Muscat or Mumbai?
3. I visited USA in year 2000 on NIV, I retuned back without voiding any visa rules, after that in year 2005 and year 2006 my Non-immigrant visa was refused under section 214(b), should I mention this thing in DS 156

Kindly Advice.

Thanks in Advance.

1. B1. But it is s a combination of B1/B2 when issued.
2. Muscat if you have resided there.
3. You should prove ties to home country to overcome 214b immigrant intent. Yes, rejections should be mentioned in DS156.
