L1B to L1A conversion and extension
Hi Everyone ,
Sharing my experience for a L1B to L1A conversion today. This forum has been very helpful to me in preparing for the interview so many thanks to everyone who has shared their experience.
Biometrics:
had a 7:30 am appointment in Mexico city , reached by 7:15 . Stood in line for a while. Line was moving fairly fast.
They checked the DS-160 confirmation and appointment letter and let me in.
Since I was applying for a L Visa , there was a separate window and the process was finished in under a minute. I was out by 7:35 am.
Consular interview:
Had a 8:15 appointment. Reached at 7:45. They checked the DS160 confirmation and sent me to a separate queue.
Then went through a security check and was let into the interview hall. Please note any sort of electronics is not allowed. This includes smartwatches as well.
Then was directed to the line for fees payment of $500 which I paid by card.After this was directed to another queue.
Interview experience:
Q: Said something in spanish, then realized I did not understand so switched to English.
Q : Are you on a L1 visa right now
A: yes ma'am I am
Q: So how long are you in Mexico
A: told her, she said she will try and get my visa before then.
Q : And did you get your visa in Chennai ?
A: yes ma'am i did
Q : And do you still work for YYYY ?
A: Yes ma'am I do
Q And what do you do there?
A: Explained what my team does there
Then she said she is approving my visa. Handed one copy of I129S back to me. Said she will try to get the visa before planned departure date but cannot promise.
I was out by 9 am.
Observation:
Confidence is key. Please go through all the experiences in this forum before you go for interview. I was not asked any detailed questions apart from what I do. Did not even ask me my salary. But the preparation helped in feeling confident.
Thank you all and all the best to all of you.
