L1A visa - 221G
Hello All -

I had my L1A individual visa interview on 7th Aug in New Delhi. Morning 9:20am slot - went together with my spouse and 2 kids

1. Visa Officer (VO) - Which company is sponsoring your visa?
    Me - Provided the name

2. VO - Why is your company sending you to the US?
    Me - Explained him my role and work I do in Supply Chain

3. VO (to my wife) - How long have you guys been married?
    Wife - Answered

Smile from the VO.
Long pause of 1-2 mins -- with some strange facial expressions :) Finally handed over a Yellow slip 221g.

VO said - "We are putting your case on admin hold, nothing to worry. You will hear back in couple of days. Safe travels to the United States". This last line gave me some form of assurance but no clarity.

8th Aug - No updates on the visa portal. Status shows "REFUSED"
9th Aug - Got an email from Visa office where they asked for a copy of I-797
10th Aug afternoon - Status changes to "Approved"
11th Aug afternoon - Status changes to "Issued". Got an email that our passports are ready for pickup.

Overall, I can say interview went really well. Very friendly discussion. Not sure what was the Admin hold for. Nevertheless, got my 221G cleared in 4 days after the interview. Let me know if you have any questions.
