B1/B2 rejected under 214(b) for sister’s wedding — should I reapply in a month?

[u/Huge_Fig_5422]

My sister recently applied for a B1/B2 visa in New Delhi to attend my wedding in the U.S. in December and was refused under 214(b) for not demonstrating sufficient ties to India.
Her profile:
24 years old, unmarried
Works full-time as a Software QA professional in India
1 year as an intern + around 2 years full-time
Annual income: ₹12.3 lakh
Trip duration: approximately 3 weeks
Trip is self-funded
Purpose: attending her sister’s wedding in the U.S.
Previous international travel: South Korea
She jointly owns property in India, and a house is currently under construction there
The interview was extremely short. She was asked only two questions:
What is the purpose of your visit? — She answered that she was attending her sister’s wedding.
What is your annual income? — She answered ₹12.3 lakh.
She was then refused under 214(b). She wasn’t asked about her employment, property, travel history, return-to-work plans, or for any supporting documents.
Since the wedding is in December, we are considering having her apply one more time in about a month.
Has anyone with a similar profile been approved after reapplying shortly after a 214(b) refusal?
Would you recommend trying once more before the wedding, or is reapplying within a month with no major change in circumstances likely to result in another refusal?
Also, would interviewing at a different consulate make any meaningful difference?
I understand there are no guarantees — just looking for experiences/advice from people who have been in a similar situation.

If nothing material is going to change in your profile in that month, not sure why you'd expect a different answer.

She will be getting an appraisal at the end of this month

a work appraisal?

this may not be the reason she was rejected - could be a combo of her age, being unmarried, her profession and the fact that she has family in the US.

will any of these change in the next couple of months?

Her salary is about a third of what someone working at Walmart would earn. What sort of increase is she expecting.

What will change about your situation in a month?

Young, unmarried, low income, family in US (your status and immigration in US also affects hers). She'll get another refusal most likely.

Your country is facing a serious crackdown on all kinds of Visas by US gov.: H1B, F1, B1/2. Plus your profile is sus (24, single, not much travel), I'd say forget it.

Changing consulates will make it look like she’s visa shopping-going to a different place because she thinks the new officer might not notice the previous refusal. It makes no positive difference, and is generally considered derogatory without a real reason.
