L1A blanket
Hello Team,
I browsed a lot in this forum to prepare for my interview and wanted to share my experience with the people.
I work for one of the big 5 companies since last 8.5 years and been working in Sao Paulo(Brazil) since last 1 year. My attorneys gave me a booklet of around 60 pages including support letter.
I applied for L1A in the consulate in Sao Paulo
Arrived at 9:10am and interview was scheduled at 9:15
Made to wait outside with a flier for 10 mins. Processed me through a preferential line since I believe majority of them were there for tourist visa so they processed all work visas as preferential line. There was a help desk who helped me rearrange all my documents. They removed a letter from the attorney and also the support documents and asked me stay in the line. I think there was a dedicated counter for work visa.
VO- Good morning
Me- Good Morning
VO-Takes my documents and passport.
VO- which visa are you applying for?
Me- L1A- He was not able to hear me and asked me to repeat.
VO- Did you ever have a L1
Me- No
VO- Did you study in the united states?
Me- No, I studied in india.
VO- How long have you been manager for?
Me- 5 years(4 years in india and 1 year in Brazil)
VO- How many years have you worked in India?
Me- 8.10 years( This answer was wrong as i worked only for 7.7 years in india and 13 months in Brazil) I corrected myself and told him 7.7 years,.
VO- What will be your title exactly?
Me- Sr Product Manager-ZZZ
VO- Is it a consumer business or technology business?
Me- Consumer
VO- So you already been to US on tourist visa?
Me- Yes, but it was a business visa.
VO- Where is your family?Where will they apply for the visa? Delhi? Mumbai?
Me- In India on a vacation and will apply in Hyderabad
VO- Do you manage reportees or business or function?
Me- Mine is a functional manager role so I will not have any direct reports but will have multiple indirect reports.
Hands me the stamped I129S documents and says thank you and asks me to carry one copy along with me. I left the counter and returned and asked him if my visa is approved. He said yes.
Many of my friends l1a visas have been rejected in chennai and hyderabad and reading through questions here seemed a very difficult process to convince. My interview lasted for around 5 minutes out of which I think we spoke less than a minute.
