L1B Individual Approved
I wanted to share my experience with the L1B Individual visa process at Chennai Consulate.
First of all a big thanks to all the members of this forum. It was a great help. Its time to give it back to the forum.
My L1B blanket was refused on 24th September 2019. I then prepared a strong petition with the help of my company attorney. I strongly suggest getting help from an attorney for an individual filing.
I took time of a week and prepared all documents related to my work at the company. I suggest you provide all documents including all small and big projects you have worked on. Any design diagrams, presentations, etc. Everything is helpful in preparing a strong petition. I provided all that information to the company attorney and My company filed an individual petition on 23rd October 2019 under premium processing.
The petition was approved within a week without a RFE. Please make sure you provide all documents to prove you have specialized knowledge as mentioned above. That will help in avoiding RFE and delays caused due to it.
The individual petition was approved on 29th October 2019 and i scheduled my interview for 4th December 2019 at 11.15am.
I reached the consulate at 11.10am on 4th December 2019. There is no point in coming early as you will have to wait outside unnecessarily, so please come at the scheduled time.
Following is the interview excerpts:
VO: Good morning.
VO: Is it an L1 Individual or Blanket.
Me: Individual.
VO: Is it L1A or L1B
Me: L1B
VO: Who is the petitioner
Me: xxx Company
VO: What will be your salary in US
Me: xxx USD per year
VO: How long will you stay there
Me: xxx years
VO: What will be your designation in US
Me: xxx
VO: What is the location in US
Me: xxx
VO: Describe your role and responsiblities
Me: Mentioned my role and resp. Please make sure your reply is short and to the point. It should not be too long but also should clearly state your roles and why L1B is the right category for you.
VO after typing for sometime: Your visa is approved.
Summary of the conversation:
1. Please be short and simple but also to the point with your replies
2. Dont try to fool the VO. They have all the info in their systems
3. Please make sure you have provided as much info as possible while filing an Individual petition. Maximum info provided helps avoiding RFE and saves time
I would be glad if this helps someone.
Thanks.
