DS-160 Have you ever been denied visa line item question

[spower]

Hello,

I am trying to apply B2 Visa for 2nd for my Mother whose application was denied a year ago. While filling out DS-160, there is a section to explain "Have you ever been denied visa".
Any suggestion as to what need to be filled out there. She received 214(b). Should we write the denial reason by the consulate (she received only the standard 214(b) form no other reason)
Thank you for your time.

Yes, she was denied a visa and the reason is 214(b).

However, if nothing has changed since last year, you will be wasting time and money to reapply because she will be denied again. 214(b) is a result when the embassy staff is not convinced that an immigrant has strong ties to her native country.
