L1, L2 Visa

Hi All,

This forum will be helpful to understand the Visa interview question and process with the experiences shared by individuals. Thank you all..

However, it may create some fear by reading the experiences, but read it to gain knowledge and prepare your answers.

Do not prepare essay's, its only 3-5min of interview, have your answers prepared in short and clear in 10-15 words, and talk more only if asked to explain in details.

I have prepared my questions and answers after reading many experiences on L1 and it was helpful, and i would like to share my experience on the same.

My L1B Individual petition got approved after the RFE and i got the slot booked for Biometric in Dec 2023 at Hyderabad and VAC in Mumbai for Jan 2023.

I am a HR Manager, and my petition was approved with Marketing Manager and i could clear the interview easily.

I would like to share with you all about my experience during my VAC Interview in Mumbai.

1. Be on-time reach 30-40min before your scheduled time.
2. Mobile can be deposited at Consulate with Rs.50 Charge.
3. Only Passport will be verified during the entry.
4. Security Check will be done just like Airport.
5. Then you will be sent in line to Verify you Passport and Original Approval Notice (This is for L1).
6. You will be moved to VAC Interview line, and they will guide you to keep the documents in Order.
7. Many interviews will happen for F1 Students, and they throw the passports based on their behaviors, but be cool don't get nervous by that.
8. Most important thing, do not listen to the questions asked to others, you may forget your answers.

Mostly for L1 you need to keep you Passport and Original Approval Notice ready.

Interview Process:

Officer asked to submit my passport and Approval Notice I-797. I was not asked to submit i-120 or any other documents.

Do not give any other documents until asked and followed with Interview questions.

Below are the Questions Asked and he was typing something and just saying ok, ok...

1. Are you applying for Specialized knowledge visa?

2. What does the company do?

3. What is your specialization?

4. What type of products does the company develop?

5. Where do you stay in US?

6. Where is your office location?

Tip for Men: Go only in Business Formals with white shirt and be confident.

Note: It's just a casual discussion with an Officer, if your petition is approved, 90% is done, and 10% is on your confidence and body language. Talk to them like you talk to a new friend. you will crack the interview for sure.
