L1, L2 Visa

My L1B was rejected on 1st November-2012 under section 8 CFR 214.2 (I) (ii) (D) and INA 101(a) (15) (L) with white slip and petition stamped as "Not Clearly Approvable".

I have re-applied with same petition and all supporting documents which is approved on 19th Decemeber.

As the overall process and interview questions remains same as mentioned on this blog following are my key Observations :-
1. The counsulate office treates the reapplication as new case ID, so they probably do not know earlier denials, unless they go through DS-160 in details. (For my case they did not asked about previouse rejection)

2. Most of cousulate officers are very well trained on Organizational operations so they know most of details and the key questions to be asked. So be prepared to convince them with proper examples. During my second interview, there was heavy rush, but the officers were not at all in hurry to process the visa. They were listening very carefully and cross questioning, though I am fortunate to have a very simple interivew as the counter started after a break. Only key question asked was "What you will be doing in USA" rest are salary and durations...

3. Your organizations reputations is very important.

4. Also, if you have travelled earlier on any Visa and violated immegration rules, then it is problem. like travelling on B1/B2 visa more than 6 weeks is looks odd one.

Thanks for the blog for providing very important and useful information.
Best Luck.
