L1-B blanket petition
Hello all,
Time to give my feedback of the L1 B ( blanket ) visa interview.
My timeslot was 11:00 AM, 27th Sep 2018. I did my bio matrix in morning 8:00 AM. I reached the consulate around 10:45 AM. There were huge crowd waiting for their turn, since my interview slot was at 11, i was allowed to pass through and i joined the long queue for interview slot 10:45, 11, 11:15.
Learning : Dont go too early, 15 min before your interview time should be good enough.
It took me almost 1 hour and 15 min just to reach the consulate main entry door, but after that, it was smooth.
Learning : Be patient, and dont bring any electronics items/car keys with remote. Security will not allow these items.
Right at the entrance of the main building, there was a desk which helped me rearrange my visa document. They just made 3 sets of the following documents, put them in a rubber band and handover to me.
I-129 , 8 pages, I-729., First page.
One main set also had DS 160 and my passport.
They asked me to jump the queue ( L1 B blanket visa) and directed to a smaller line.
Then, i paid the $500 fees ( anti fraud fees) for L1 blanket visa ( using the DD my company gave)
Then got my fingerprint scanned again and sent to main hall for interview.
It took another 20 min of waiting. Here is the interview questions
VO : Can i have the passport?
Me : Goodafternoon, Here it is.
VO : And the rest of the documents as well.
Me : Just passed all of 3 sets of documents
VO : How long you are working in this organization?
Me: I have been working in this organization for xx years and yy months. But in total , i have zz years of experience working with this group of companies ( i have worked for same company 2 times before)
VO : Where will be your onsite location in USA?
Me : My company office at xx city in yy state
VO : Why you are selected for this visa?
I explained him that i am going for knowledge transfer for the company's proprietary products and service to my counterpart USA engineers.
VO : Can you explaing what does it mean?
I explained him in simple terms
As ususal, he typed on the computer for some time
VO : How much will be your salary?
Me : xxxxx $ per annuam
VO: Your visa is approved. Dont forget to carry these 2 stamped copies of I129 when travel to USA.
Me: thanks , have a good day.
I had a previous L1 B from my previous company, but VO did not asked about it.
I was wearing a business suite, though it was hot but i think it did made its impact. My suggestion is to wear suit only if you are comfortable.
In brief, be confident, relax and smile, its going to be fine.
