L1, L2 Visa

Dear All,

Many thanks for the great help on the visa topics. I got immensely benefitted by it.
I attended my blanket L1A visa interview today. 19.09.2019 at 10.00 am in Chennai.

I was with my wife and 2 yo angel.
Due to my daughter, got preference in ques in 3 places.

Interview started at 10.30 am and got over in 5 mins.
On reaching, VO sees my daughter, smiles and says, she is cute. She must have picked the dress herself ... I said , she picked th shoes :) exchanged smiles.... ( I felt confident that well begun is half done)

VO: where would your office be located?
My answer : YYYY in NY State

VO: so you will be working for your own company and not for a client.?
My answer : Yes

VO: and whats your salary going to be ?
My answer : ZZZK $ (upwards of 150K incl. bonus)

VO: so you are here for an L1B?
My answer: No, it's for L1A.
VO then double checks the I129S and starts asking about my role...
I am into general management and moving to a global role in company HQ. I explain that to him

VO: how many reportees would you have ?
My answer ; 3 direct, have to ramp up to 5. Additional 15 functional reportees in various zones elsewhere.

VO then stamps my I129S as approved to L1A and gives back 2 copies.

During the interview , whenever the VO was typing, i kept playing with my daughter, helped me appear calm and not too eager for the approval stamp.

Overall I beleive the following worked :
1) my company credentials ( multinational conglomerate)
2) my salary
3) my daughter
4) my composure and smile.

Thanks for the help.
