L1 B visa at Chennai Consulate exp
Had my L1B visa at Chennai on 10 August post the biometrics in Delhi on 9 July.
Did not apply with family. Appt time 10:00 AM. Reached the consulate to join the line by 8.45 AM. After crossing multiple security checks, rearrangement of docs, paying the visa fee, finally reached the line for the interview with the VO.
While standing in the line, I could listen to other interviews happening at different counters. I could hear Visas getting approved and rejected. Though the rejection rate was limited as compared to the approvals.
Finally my turn came. The family ahead of me got approved their L1A visa and that made me nervous for the reason that the person ahead of me got approved and would I be successful?
VO - Please come.
Me - Good Morning. And with saying that I started to slide my docs through the counter but just stopped and withdrew.
VO - Good Morning, yes you can slide those docs through.
Me - sure, Thanks.
VO - (Unwrapped the docs) So Which company you work for?
Me - XYX (to the point)
VO - So what is your specialized knowledge or skill?
Me - Explained my skill to the point.
VO - So will you be working from client's location or company's location?
Me - Client's location. I had to say company's location so I quickly corrected myself and said - Sorry I meant Company's location. All my work has to be internal within my company.
VO - How long are you going to stay in US?
Me - xyz
VO - GOLDEN WORDS - Your Visa is approved. Allow me some time to prepare your docs.
I felt awesome and also bit surpreised since VO never asked my salary, my client, why only you and noone else and other related questions.
My take would be to be well prepared with not only your company's but also your client's information (revenue, profits etc because I saw some VOs asking those questions too). Be confident and rehearse yourself as many times as possible. Look straight to VO while talking and make sure your english is fluent. Make sure your specialized knowledge has an immediate impact on the VO and he should be convinced. VO doesn't even look at your knowledge and skills in your docs nor he has looked at those previously. So remember - Whatever you tell him, that is only gonna convice him. Your docs will not play a part anywhere except the final stamp.
I want to thank this community for the help and guidance and experiencec.
GOOD LUCK ALL!
