L1B - Individual Approved @Hyd Consulate
Hello everyone, A sincere thanks to all the people contributing to this forum and trying to help each other. Really appreciate your contributions.
My L1B - Individual petition preparation was started in Feb 2019 and to get it through we wanted it to be as detailed as possible. My case was file to USCIS on 13th May and we got an approval in 4 days. As I am based out of Mumbai I wanted to to schedule the Interview in Mumbai but the slots were all taken till August end and we booked the Interview slot in Hyd which was available in first week of August. L1B Individual cases can book their interview in any consulate across India but make sure to choose the correct location in DS-160 and fill the form accordingly. Your DS-160 location of Consulate should match the Interview location consulate.
On 4th the VAC appointment was taken and it was Sun morning. The HYD consulate is located just beside Rasoolpura Metro station behind Queens Plaza building.Finger-printing and Photo was completed within 15 mins after security checkup. They stick a barcode sticker on your passport and acknowledge the DS-160 confirmation page. This you need to carry on the Interview day.
Make sure to reach at least 45 min before on both the days of VAC and Interview.
On 5th Aug the Interview day, I arrived 45 min earlier and we went through security check. Trust me the documents that you carry with you apart from Passport, DS-160 Confirmation page and Appointment Page will not be seen by anyone. It is still safe to carry all your documents in transparent folder. Initial finger prints are matched and you are now sent to waiting area. The waiting area has provision of restroom and water. Token system is followed where the person who has completed the Interview will come and give you the token to a counter and then you have to go to that specific counter.
I was given a token to counter no :11 and I went and stood behind 3 people waiting already to be interviewed. They took our passport and gave the VO. When I proceeded the counter after he called my name, the following conversation took place,
Me : Smiling, Good Morning Sir
VO : Good Morning and returned me a smile back
VO : Which Visa type you are applying ?
Me : I have applied for L1B Individual visa type.
VO : Where do you work?
Me : I am currently working with YYYY India.
VO : What is your designation ?
Me : I am a Senior Consultant.
VO : What is your highest qualification ?
Me : My highest qualification is Bachelor's of Engineering in Information Technology.
VO : Explain me your specialization
Me : Having served multiple YYYY clients, I have acquired specialized knowledge related to core A, B, C, D modules of YY Industry. These expertise has helped me design and develop our proprietary tool ZZZZZZZ. (Stopped me in between)
VO : Visa is Issued. (Kept my passport)
Me : Thank you Sir. Have a nice day.
I believe the VO have access to DS-160 forms and most of the information they try to cross verify it with you. L1B Individual cases are scrutinized at USCIS level and hence are easy to get along in the Interview. The Visa status can be checked on CEAC website and also USTravel Docs.
It shows Administrative Processing for a day and on next day it changes to Issued.
Be Confident and keep a smile !
Thanks to the forum once again.
