I apologise that I read your post too fast. My other comment was not applicable and I deleted it.


You can find more about section 214b here: https://travel.state.gov/contenthttp...l/denials.html

- Perhaps next time you could hold back on all your experience, because they may suspect that you have the intent to look for a job in the US rather than study.
- Perhaps you could focus on what a great place it is to study and that you can't wait to come back to your home country to use that knowledge (rather than experience). His glance could perhaps be interpreted that he doubted that this is one of the only universities offering the course.
- You need to find a way to show strong ties to your home country.

I hope you get admitted to FSU! I've only heard good things.
