Unfortunately consular officers have much discretion of whether to issue or deny visiting visas. The major ground as you have found out is 214B that the consular officer does not believe that the applicant has nonimmigrant intent. In your situation, your organization may assist you by asking for intervention from its local U. S. congressional representative or senator’s office. Such intervention sometimes works in your type of situation.
