L1-B Visa
I had my L1-B Visa approved Nov 5 2014 ... I entered through the Sweetgrass POE ( Montana ) and I must say I had the best experience down there.

Being that I am Canadian I was able to have my company fill out my I-129 right away along with the sponsorship money and have my interview right at the border at POE with no appointment necessary. If there is any advice I can share it's bring EVERYTHING with you even if you think you have to much paperwork, this is the list I brought that I put neatly in a binder :

1. I-129 ( 2 original copies )
2. Resume & Cover Letter
3. Offer Letter and in the offer letter make sure the company petitioning for you explains why you are a "Special Worker"
4. Proof of Education
5. Any Certificates that pertain to the job
6. List of references and past supervisors and current people you work with
7. Last 6 months of bank records
8. Last 6 months of pay stubs
9. In my case i added pictures of my work
10. Reference Letters
11. I was importing a vehicle to Compliance letter from Canada and then from the maker of your vehicle from USA

My experience at the border was a pleasant one, the patrol officer that I had was hard to read though and just seemed cranky while I was there ... but he was surprised at how well I put my package together and in the end explained to me that he was happy to help me out. In total it took about a hour from start to finish for the interview process and the Visa stamping for me to be on my way. Being that my profession isn't something that is well heard of and if you are in a similar situation take in the fact that the people interviewing you have no clue what it is you actually do so make sure your papers explain it in detail so they can have a better understanding, lets not just assume.

I can't stress enough to have your offer letter in tip top shape from your company, mine was not done well enough and I was extremely lucky the officer was having a good day and let the company fax me a new offer letter in better detail right on the spot!!! His supervisor was also involved in the process and she was a great help as well as they could have denied my entry and sent me packing.

My company does not participate in the blanket option even though we are a huge company ... Now that I am in head office I am told that I am the first person they have brought over on this type of visa, it was a lot of work but I am happy all is well.
