L1A blanket and L2 got approved @ Chennai
God Bless the guy who initiated this forum. My L1A blanket and L2 got approved at Chennai consulate on 24 Aug'12. All the questions were fsame as what has been mentioned in this forum but i would like to clear some smoke screens. L1A visa is of 2 types- One for Managerial( you need to manager managers to clear in this category) and other less talked about is Executive( Functional Manager- Goolge functional manager and understand this visa type, but in nutshell you do not need to manage anybody for this visa). Mine was L1A in executive capacity as a functional manager. Below was experience at consulate:
Me and my wife Greeted VO but no response so i could make it it has started on a rather serious note. The Q&A round started:
Q: What will you be doing in US?
A: I will be in US on a functional manager role in executive capacity managing ( 4 more words- I already used the magic word functional manager as attorney had told me).
Q: What are responsibilities of a functional manager?
A: blah blah( had prepared to say 5 but could only spit out 2 and that too in broken words- was nervous)
Q: How many reportees in US?
A: I will be working as functional manager so no reportees( before i could say last 3 words VO asked the next question)
Q: Whom will you report to?
A: Mr xx, Desig xx, Department xx(for executive L1A it better be a high officer of the company)

To my surprise interview took a turn here and VO started asking questions to my wife . It looked like more of my wife's interview from here rather than concentrating on me
Where did you get married?
Which place did you get married?
When did you get married?
Do you have kids? We donot have kids yet
How many times you been to US? My wife had been to US thrice. This question looked like her previous visits to US accompanying me were helpful
When did you last visit US?
Why did you go to US? My Wife said that she was accompanying me and had gone for tourism purpose
Can i see your marriage album? Thing to note here is that Visa expert at my company has told me to take some of my marriage pics as i did not have my marriage album ( it was in my home town) but had soft copy of the pics. I got them printed and had put them in a decent album .When i opened the album and started flipping VO asked keep going and he looked into 4or 5 pages of album telling me to keep going again in between. This tells me that it was not enough if i had brought only some pics for interview. I think the emphasis here was that my wife did not had me as her spouse in her passport and we looked like a young couple without kids so VO wanted to make sure that we were married.
Interview ended here and VO said we will get our passport by courier.
Wished VO a good day (for bringing alive our American dream).
Points to note:
If the visa docs are provided by a attorney, better stick to what they have written. Very very important. Do not ignore this.
Go through this forum for list of questions and write all possible answers you would give.
I wore suit as mentioned in this forum by one of the guys but not sure if that helped but i would recommend doing the same for L1A.
Ask your spouse to be ready with answers. She should be attentive.
