F2 visa rejected twice

[abcd]

Hi there,
I had applied for F2 visa and got rejected twice. Can I apply for B2 visa now or is it better to apply for F2 again? If I get B2 visa then limitation on staying in U.S. is fixed or changes according to my status? I mean, if I have job and have to join from 1st august then do they allow me to stay there till july or their duration of staying on B2 visa is fixed?

First of all, why was your F2 rejected?
Give some background info.

F2 visa rejected on first attempt, applying second time

Dear,

I am currently doing PhD at NY, USA. I have valid I 20 till 2014 which is my expected date for graduation. I got married last summer (July, 2011) and applied for F2 visa for my wife in Jan 2012. I have teaching fellowship (getting paid from university) for last 2 years. She was not much asked (may be it's an excuse) and got rejected with 214(b) which is inability to show sufficient evidence that you are not intended potential immigrant.

She is applying for the visa on 6th March, 2012 again. I understand she need to show them or convince them enough for the rejection reason given in the previous one.
Are there any documents that might help her to show strong ties to the home countries or help her to convince the consul office?
Any suggestion regarding this is really appreciated.

Her first interview was in English. This time it's in Gujarati.

Please suggest me that might help.

Thanks in advance,
