When applying to nonimmigrant U.S. visa categories, the 214(B) refusal [1]of the visa can be produced by the visa officer during the visa interview if you fail to demonstrate your qualification to apply for the nonimmigrant visa or produce sufficient home ties to your country that would make the visa officer believe that you would leave the United States at the end of your temporary stay. Some visa types such as the H-1B, L-1, L-2, and their dependent visa applicants are excluded from proving home ties as these visas are dual intent.
