what do YOU think?
I mean no offense but when denied twice in a row do you think you will be approved again without any change in your situation?

first of all , going alone all the way to US for the purpose of visiting a friend is totally flawed . And that too on his sponsorship.
Genuinely who goes all the way to US just to visit a friend? If you are going on an actual pleasure visit,you would plan it with your family not alone.
It just tells the officer you are not likely to return ( section 214b).

then 3 days later you present a different purpose . how do you expect the officer to believe that?

Now you must wait several months and even a year and only apply for a business purpose( through employer). Even then there are no guarantees
as you have messed up your own case.

Thank you for quick response.
So i goofed up! What do you think about F1/J1 Visa in this scenario? I might have to appear for interview in 3-4 months for F1/J1 visa, would previous rejection create a problem in that case?

You have to wait for minimum 6 months.
