L1A blanket approved
First of all Thanks a lot to this forum for all the valuable inputs it has provided and made my life simple!!!
Here is my L1A stamping story.
My appt was 9 in the morning, reached there 15mins prior.. but no use, had to wait almost 1hour sweating outside. The crowd was unusually large.
Once in, the process is pretty quick. I was in and out within 30mins.
I will skip the initial steps as most of them have already mentioned it in this forum and jump straight to the questions from VO
VO: Good morning
ME: Very good morning, how you doing today?
VO: What is your role?
ME: program manager
VO: Which client?
ME: Will be managing YYYY client to start of with, but would be working out of my parent companies office in YYYY city
VO: Your indian salary in lakhs and US salary
ME: Answered
VO: Who would you report to and what does he do?
ME: Answered, pretty straight forward
VO: How many people report to you?
ME: XX people report to me out of which X would be direct and XX would be indirect
Thanks your Visa is approved :)
Some key takeaways guys:
1. Be confident
2. Be patient, as the wait times can be frustrating
3. While applying for L1A blanket, remember its executive position. So, do not mention a particular client name(unless asked and you can say will manage YYYY client to start off with) and most importantly never mention about a project. It will create an impression that you are a project manager
4. Always talk big like managing an account or a client and never a project
5. Also when mentioning about your reportees, just add a word at the end saying they all have their teams and manage their own projects in different portfolios
6. Make sure your Indian and US salaries reflect your executive positions
7. When asked about your roles and responsibilities, make sure you start with account management and talk about budgetting, contracts, proposals etc., and maybe at the end come down to project or program delivery.
8. Be sure to memorize your reportee details as well as people you report to all the way up to your CEO
9. Always mention you will work out of your parent companies office. You can mention that you will spend sometime at client location too, but would be present most of the time at the parent companies office
10. DS160 is the single most crucial document as that is the one visible to the VO and he would be browsing through it while asking questions. So, pls make sure you fill it with utmost care.
All the best to the future aspirants
