    "Thank you for your e-mail. In accordance with United States law and Department of State guidelines, action on your case has been suspended, and your petition for a Non-immigrant Worker filed on your behalf was returned to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on April 8, 2008 with a memorandum explaining the facts of your case as presented to us at the time of interview. The U.S. Consulate in Chennai is no longer handling your case, and will be unable to give you any information on the status of your petition. Please refer any questions through your petitioner directly to the USCIS office"

    After some time ( verified in his System ) he gave a 214(b) form and said “we are unable to issue a visa for you, Thank you.”

    This statement of yours leads ne to believe that the VO has correctly assessed your situation. If you can "change" the reason for your trip, the need does not exist for the trip. This plus your H1B status makes it look like you are going to US to find another H1B employer rather than conduct business for your current employer. Since a B1 visa also allows you to enter the US as a visitor, the VOs should consider the overall implications of issuing a visa.

      Why your H1B is still pending

      Sunny, I want to know

      1) Why your H1B is still pending. Have you dropped your documents after your H1 query. Is there any problem from your H1b petitioner? That would have effected your B1 visa. Let me know your opinion.

      2)Why you told duration as 14 to 16 weeks. With B1 visa you can't stay more than 3months means hardly 12 weeks. This also could be the reason for refusal.

        Duration of stay and period of employment with current employer were red flags in OP's interview.
