L1A - Blanket :Approved
Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences. It was really useful. Here's mine at Chennai today :
Biometrics : Overall pretty straightforward. For an 8 AM appointment, was allowed to enter at 7:30 AM itself and the whole process finished by 7:50 AM.
Interview : Was allowed to enter at 9:30 AM for a 10 AM appointment. Don't carry any mobile phones or watches - They allow plastic bags to carry your documents - carry only whatever is required.
There are multiple checkpoints that you pass through -
1. One person arranges 3 sets of i797 and i129s, draft along with the DS160 confirmation.
2. The draft is taken and receipt is given
3. Finger printing for validation
4. the actual interview.
The only thing that really takes a long time is the queue for the interview - This took around 25 mins for me. There are around 4-5 counters in total - I don't know if there was a separate counter for all blanket petitions. All interviewers were generally well natured and I couldn't see anyone rejecting any petition as such.
Questions:
1. Name of the Client ? Which company is filing the petition ? Which city will you be travelling to ?
2. Your role ? How many direct and indirect reportees
3. Salary ?
4. Who's your supervisor ? Which office will he work out off ?
5. Who's the decision making authority ?
6. You had an L1 visa before ?
That was pretty much it - in total around 3 mins or so and all the time, the officer will be typing on her screen.
Overall, from what I feel :
1. The experience was mostly good for all. Pretty smooth process and the consulate team make an attempt to make you comfortable - so be relaxed. Make sure that you explain your role in the simplest possible manner - the easier it is to understand, the more your chances are.
2. For L1 blanket visas - I felt that if you have a visa before or have had a travel to the US before, you are at an advantage. Alternately, you'd be better off in the interview with a high salary (I could hear salaries in the range of $150K - $ 200K for cases that were getting approved. Mine isn't that high though :-) ).
3. Make sure that you smile and don't feel nervous. I think that helps during the interview - the interaction is much better then.
4. Finally, remember that it is not the end of the world if your visa is rejected. You can always do it again and it generally gets approved.
Hope this helps - Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences !
