My L1 A Blanket + 3 L2 got approved yday in Chennai
First of all thank you so much to this site and all the users sharing their detailed experience. I visited this website just before the Interview and it was very key for clearing the interview.

My 2 cents: If your Visa category is genuine and your experience fits as per Visa guideline. Then, Preparation and confidence is key to clear the interview- its about going through the Petition document thoroughly, knowing how to answer appropriate way, be clear on responsibilities differentiating your visa as L1 A or L1B.

Dependents: Preparing all your dependents how to respond to key questions.

We(Me + 3 Dependents(husband + 2 kids) had in Chennai yday, both Biometric at 8am and Visa interview at 10:30am.

Both locations are near by, 15-20 mins by walk. If you have similar timings, you can have breakfast afer biometric and reach the Visa interview location just 30-45 mins before should be fine.

Biometric was smooth one. Not much document was needed - mostly Passport, Appointment letter, DS-160 was needed. L1B( L1 Blanket) sticker is put on the Passport cover. They verify the DOB, Full Name details from Passport and Appointment letter is same while taking the Pic, finger prints.
