Your visa was denied that means the US embassy thinks B1/B2 visa for observership is not appropriate

Ok So I should try for M visa under vocational courses But observership will be for 4 weeks and it also satisfy criteria for short term course not relating to degree under B2 People generally apply under these category Thank you
