Applying for L1B and wife already in USA on H1B
I have situation with me and not sure if its common or no.
My wife is already in USA and working with a big company on H1B. Her wage is approved and pretty soon her employer will submit her perm as well.
Currently I m in India to reset my clock for next visa. I was in USA for 5 yrs and came back to India in 2015 and now my employer is applying my L1B from India.
I am just wondering, because my wife is already in USA on H1B, is it going to impact my visa approval chances meaning chances are more for rejection because my wife already in USA? May b its a very silly question but I am just concerned.....

blanket L1B approved in chennai
Had gone with my 2 year old kid and wife. Reached the queue half an hour early and stood in the long line outside.. We got fast tracked into different queues doing different things as i had a kid with me. After about an hour, my daughter got very cranky and wanted to eat biscuits and run outside.. Unfortunately, this was the time we had to appear before the VO.
Gave a nervous smile with a good morning to the VO and submitted my documents. In two other windows, people were getting grilled with different questions for their visitor visas.. everything ranging from giving their JD from their previous years to their current take home salary .
My ears were tuned to their conversations while i was looking past the VO into the offices to see what they were doing inside, all the time, while the VO kept typing furiously into the computer.. After what seemed like ages and what i thought was a computer malfunction because he kept trying to search my data and could not find it, vo finally opened his mouth
Q) How long you are married
A) xx years
Q) How old is your baby
A) 2 years
more long pause.. more furious typing.. more looking around
Q) Will you be working for the same company?
A) yes
Q) What is the purpose of your visit
A) some answer came outside my mouth which i had totally not prepared the previous day.. he didnt seem to care tho
Q) What will your salary be there?
A) x amount of dollars.
more typing.. then after a while, stamping and he gave me two copies of forms and said you will need one at the port of entry and one to give to my HR
Great!!

I went for my L1A Blanket on 22nd Nov 2016. I was really worried since I am only 9 years experienced and everyone in my company said that they will just reject you by looking at your experience.
However, I reached the consulate 1.5 hours early & waited in queue. After all the formalities I went to the interview counter.
Me: Good Afternoon...
VO: *Not even responded, keep on working on his computer*
VO: Please give me the petition and passport
Me: Here you go sir
VO: Who is your petitioner?

Me: As soon as my visa gets stamped and I complete all the other formalities
VO: Have you been to US before?
Me: Yes sir, 4 times, on B1
VO: Who is your supervisor?
Me: here or in USA?
VO: in US
Me: YYYY YYY
VO: Sorry, what was that?
Me: YYYY YYY
VO: sorry, still could not understand
Me: *pointing to the mic at my left side* this is the microphone, right?
VO: Yeah
Me: *leaned towards the mic and yelled the name again.
VO: *smiles* ok
VO: How many people reports to you?
Me: Directly 4 and indirectly 3.
VO: *not looking at me, typing something* tell me the job descriptions of your 3 direct reportees.
Me: Sir, not 3 I have 4 direct reportees and their job descriptions are so and so.
VO: How much % of your work is managerial?
Me: 100% - 60% goes to team management and 40% goes to client management
He stamped something on my petition while I was trying to lean over see, I saw he stamped APPROVED :)
VO: Thank you sir, you may go now and your visa is approved.
