L1, L2 Visa

Hi guys, i would like to share my experience here so that you might find some answers for any questions.

I had scheduled my Visa Fingerprint and Interview on the same day, 23rd Aug ,2017. Before this, i did lot of preparations, through internet search, reading through other's experience, and most importantly, signing up for Intent Filling sessions (both prep & mock interview).

Experience on the interview date:
I strongly advice you just go 15 minutes before your interview time. There is no need to go 2-3 hours ahead of time and wait in the hot sun. I had my interview scheduled at 11:30. I entered the consulate around 11:00. Once you enter, there will be a desk where the lady would ask you to arrange your documents in 3 sets (only for L1A Blanket). Others do not have to stop at this table. Once the documents are arranged, you will need to get into one more queue. I had gone with my wife and kid, and looking at the kid, i was allowed to skip through the queues, and go directly to all the counters. Once you enter the main building, you will be asked to pay the $500 anti fraud fees. Once you pay, the next counter is for re-checking the finger prints and passport. After this is the actual interview counters. Again, since i had my kid along, i was allowed to go right ahead in the queue.

After then the wait started. There is a website where you can check your visa status. CEAC. I checked the next day morning (24th Aug) and my wife's and daughter's visa was showing as "Issued". Mine was showing as "Administrative Processing". I started researching about AP. What i read kinda scared me, as i read there was long waiting times for AP. Since 25th Aug was a holiday, and 26th & 27th was weekend, i did not expect any development until 28th. On 28th around 11:30 AM, my status changed from AP to Issued. I received all passports on 30th Aug.

Good Luck..!!
