Denied boarding in Amman for flight to USA via Frankfurt

Denied boarding in Amman for flight to USA via Frankfurt - White Rocket

I have a visitor visa for USA and booked a Lufthansa flight from Amman to Chicago with a transit in Frankfurt. I was denied boarding at Amman and told I have a problem with the embassy.

I went to the embassy and they gave me the USCIS email to contact but couldn't help, then they gave me another email to contact, which was ustraveldocs email. I emailed them and they told me that your visa is still working.

Who should I contact to know the problem?

Is it because i did not have a transit visa ?
