L1A Blanket - L2 Approved At Chennai Location
Hey All ,

First - a shout-out and kudos to this forum ... and all the active participants - it truly is a blessing for visa aspirants to get an insider look of how the interviews actually go and prepare accordingly .

My L1A Blanket got approved on 13th May at chennai location . I would not be explaining about the Biometrics since its a very simple process . Only tip here would be - no need to strictly be on time for this one since they allow early comers in too . Go half hour early and get it over with in 15 mins at the max

Over to Consulate Interview :

Got Delayed by a 1.5 hours since too much of a wait period . Had slot at 11 am but ended up near the VO around 1 pm :( . Tip here : If going to Chennai and you intend to wear a coat/Jacket - have a few handkerchiefs handy as its really humid and hot . The wait period till you get into the second building is excruciating . All staff in there is very courteous and friendly though .

INTERVIEW

VO : Can i have your docs pls
Me : Hello , how are you doing ? (Handed docs over and VO responded to the greetings) - TIP : Start the conversation on a positive note

VO : How long with ABC (Top IT MNC)company ?
Me : 2.3 yrs to be precise with overall 11.5 years IT exp

VO : How Many Direct Reportees in US ?
Me : 4 direct - Team leads

VO : US Designation ?
Me : YYYY

VO : US Salary ?
Me : 1xx,xxx$/yr (Above 120 K)

VO : Work Location ?
Me : YYYY

VO : Client Name ?
Me : YYYY

VO : Previous US visit ?
Me : Had an L1B Blanket and was in US for 5 yrs (They had this info and also the client name with them - this surprised me :) )

A minute of Silence where VO thoroughly looked at both mine and Wife's Passport

No Questions to Dependent !

Started Stamping 3 sets - "Your visa is Approved" and the usual line - Keep this copy , give this copy to HR

KEY Takeaways : Folks - i feel salary is a major factor coupled with your prior US visits if any . Your confidence while talking to the VO is important too . Number of years with current employer needs to be high - THIS Is not TRUE (mine was 2.3 yrs)

Hope this Helps .. All the Very best Guys !
