L1, L2 Visa

My L1B - Blanket was rejected and given 221g form. Was asked only 2 questions. It seemed it was decided before hand that the VO wanted to reject it. Did not let me explain my specialisations. I am from IBM and my pay package is below 5L. So maybe that is also an issue

i had dependant visa interview in chennai american embassy on 12.4.2011.i was very worried before interview,bcos i attented the interview alone.

    but it was very simple.i took both my kids with me.the attenders guided each and everyone properly.
the interview in the lobby was about hardly 5minutes.the other process only took 30-45 minutes.
  
     for L2 they asked only the marriage details and kids details.so iam very thankful to immihelp.com.it was very useful for me.

     so all the best for others.be bold and louder in ur voice.

   thanks

Hi All,

I had visa interview at chennai on april 5th at 8:45PM. I reached thr around 7:30. Its good to go early as they will not let you wait for any stupid reason.
process:
1. In front of embassy there was queue. here you have to deposite your hdfc bank receipt.
2. Security check - nothing allowed other then documents
3. document varification at next counter
4. finger prints
5. Fraud fee deposite (next building)
6. wait for interview turn

questions he asked
1. What will you do in US? - opportunity to tell what technology, process and products you are going to use.
2. What technology you will be going to use there ?
3. XYZ product on which you worked/used who built it? - if product is built by third party then be prepared for the question -why you why not some one else from that party. try to avoid these situation.
4. How many years you have been working on this project?- if your degree and work profile do not match then you should prepare for this question. 3+ yrs of work ex will help. even if you have 2 yrs 8 months just say around 3 yrs.
5. Asked same questions again (How many years?) - tricky one - again your work experience will play role..
To my wife
1. when you get married?
2. At what place

Visa got approved but officer asked me to renew the passport and send that to them via VFS.

I am appearing for PA sometime next week.Is there any condition that the photo that we carry should be taken without spectacles?

I attended the Visa interview on 1 April 2011 for L 1 A. Got the Visa by gods grace but passport has not been returned to me nor my office till now? Any such cases? Thanks

Hi. I have my visa scheduled next week in hyderabad.
Can anybody please let me how is the visa approval rate for L1 in hyderabad?

Thanks,
Sowmya

Can anyone please tell me the approval percentage for L1 b visa in Delhi embassy. I will be appearing for PA in 2 weeks..

Hi Punima,

I went to Delhi Embassy and I have also the same case. Without providing any reason VO marked my docs as "Not Clearly Approval" also they suggested me to go for L1 Individual or H1.
Please check if VO had stamped you Passport with "Rejected" stamp, if yes then only you can say ur VISA got rejected otherwise not.
We cannot do any thing apart from going through L1 Individual or H1.
