L1, L2 Visa

Hi,

I had my interview on 28-08-08 in Chennai consultate. Though waiting in queue for hours was painful, interview went smoothly. One thin lady officer was grilling each candidate for 5-10 minutes and she rejected most of them, luckily i was not asked to go to her :). The questions that were asked in the interview are.

VO: Hi sir, How are you?
Me: Im fine, how are you?
VO: Since how long you are working in xyz?
Me: one year and 2months
VO: who is your client?
Me: ABC
VO: Since how long you are working with ABC?
Me: same, one year and 2months.(i guess since our client is well reputed he din't ask many questions reg company,Thanks to our client.)
VO: what is your current salary?
Me: x lakhs y thousands.(He had a look at my documents, though last two figures i told him were not correct he din't mind it.)
VO: what are the specialized skills you have?
Me: I am proficient in x,y,z tools and i have expertise in other areas(mention it) also which are essential for smooth execution of our project.
VO: OK (He verified all the documents and entered information into system), we are unable to issue visa at this moment, we will deliver your passport in 2-3 working days to your address. Happy Journey! He gave a pink slip which stated the same thing and asked me to carry while travelling.
Me: I experienced the same feeling like when I got through the interivew as a fresher four years ago and I was very much relaxed.

Tips:
Please try to look as professional as possible(Many people came casually but looking professional always gives a good impression) and answer clearly and confidently and don't beat around the bush(officer will say "thats not what i am asking"). Its all about how you convince them.

Have good food before going to the consulate as you may have to stand in the queue for long time before meeting VO.
