L1, L2 Visa

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone for sharing your experience. It helped me to build my confidence and get the positive result.
I had my interview for L1A scheduled at Mumbai on 7th Feb 8:15 a.m. I used the VFS facility so that I could regain my positive energy. I would also suggest the same , the facility is value for money for Rs 275.00
After I completed all the formalities , I waited for almost 45 minutes to get my turn. It was a young person with very charming smile face. Even though my heart was pumping , I got relaxed after the soft greetings exchange.
First question asked :

Me: explained briefly

VO: (Surprised ) What were you doing in Bangladesh ?
Me: Explained
VO: Final question, you are new to this client , why were you choosen for this project ( this was my favourite question )
Me: Explained ( I had prepared for this question at least 7 different ways at home and finally came up with the best possible answer . )

VO: ( Smile) Well I am happy to approve your visa to go to US as Manager. Take this two forms along with and have a nice stay in US. ( May be something simlar he said either I could not hear or may be did not try to hear as I saw he finally stamped in my paper and I choose to thank God. )

Me: Thank you very much Sir and have a great day ahead.

Note: I always kept eye contact with him and always wearing a reasonable smiling face to hide my nervous-ness inside.
As everyone suggested , do some mock round with well wishers .. prepare crisp and short answers , do not go over board to impress the VO.
I was asked many questions but the interview lasted exactly for 7 minutes.

The funniest experience I had when the VO was holding the stamp and before stamping it in my I129S he was shooting a questions. I was just oberving that , the time when he finally put the stamp , I could understand there is no more questions. That was the thin line..

Thanks to every one and all the very best ..
