Hi, I would like to add my experience as this discussion forum has helped me for for my L1a individual visa interview.
I am indian passport holder and am in UK for quite some time on work permit. My B1 Visa was rejected in UK embassy on the ground 214 (b) 45 days back back and Subsequently my company went for filing individual L1A petition on premium route and again i appeared today in UK embassy for the interview just 45 days later of my B1 rejection.
The interviewer was the same guy who interviewd me for B1 and he started in quite unhappy mood.
q1)you had come here a month back for B1 and now for L1a
a) fortunately i had discused it with my lawyer earlier and explained it to him.

q3) What your company does and how many employees in US
a) explained him the same
q4) Whats ur education, show me your original certificate

q5) Give me letter from your employer
a)Provided him the same.
q6) How much money you will get there?
a) answered him the same
consular - ok, i will validate theese documents and call you, you wait in the waiting area.
I waited for 30 minutes and was called and that time there was another person. He asked me few questions.
q1) your role in this company?
q2) What you will do in US?
q3) Financial details of the company?
I explained him and then he told me that you will be called again.
Again 30 minutes of wait and was called by my first interviewer. It was totally opposite environment now
Consular - Sir, I am sorry for keep you waiting for such a long time
me - Thats fine, no Issues
Consualr - i will wrap it up quichly

L1 A Blanket - My experience
Hi,
I had been granted my L1 A blanket, and my spouse with her L2. Honestly, the interview was simple. All that I learnt was that some preparation for common questions (posted in this site by others), some presence of mind and little confidence is what you require.
1. Dress well (formals with Tie is advisable) and speak clearly.
2. Answer to the point
3. Maintain a formal gesture throughout the interview.
Interview Questions that were asked
Q1: How long have you been with ur present company? (Ans: more than two years)
Q2: Since how long have you been with this project? (More than one year)
Q3. Why are you going to the US? (to supervise 20-25 associates, for the same project)
Q4: What is the project? (BPO, alternative investment accounting)
Q5: (To my spouse) When were you married? (xx-xx-xxxx)
Q6: (To my spouse) How did you get to know each other ? (through matrimony portal)
Q7: Where would you be staying in the US ? (NJ)
Q8: (To my spouse) Are you excited ? !! (Yes)
That was it.
Wish you good luck.

got my visa on 17 september
I am sharing my visa interview experience. My interview was at 8.30 in the morning in mumbai, they collected 2 copies of I-129-S and one copy of first page of I-797 along with DD of 25,000 Rs and Passport before entering the visa consulate.
I entered visa consulate office at 10.00, after entering the consulate we have to go and collect the documents from counter no 3 and they join the line for bio metric test, The test will be taken in counter 1 or 2.
My no was called at 11.30
Visa officer(VO): Tell me about your company
Me : i told about my company,at this time Visa officer was not paying any attention to my answer.
VO : Tel me your salary structure
Me : i said abt my salary details
VO : What you did in USA in your previous visit ( i.e. in B1 visa) and what you are going to do in US ( i.e. in L1 visa)
Me : Previously I went to learn their standards. and now i am going to give training for the newly employed guys, since they don't have any dedicated person for the site to train the new guys.
Final question from VO
Did you stay more than 180 days in US in B1 visa. Then she checked my entry and exit date for the trip and said that if you would have stayed more than 180 days in one visit then your L1 visa would be rejected. since your trip was below 180 days you are getting your visa.
The main this what visa officer see in you is your confidence and we should clearly emphasis that since we are going there for work, no local american should loose their job. the next point is that we satisfy him/her that we aill be comming back to india and not going to settle there

Good Luck.
