My visa interview experiance
My L1B visa got rejected today.. This is how it went...

Me : very Good morning!
VO : No reply
VO asked me to put my left index finger on finger tip detector. He stared at my BEP letter for more than 1 min.. He started typing something. He took some letter and give some tick.. Then he asked me the following question
VO : Whats your client?
Me : My client is XYZ and they are into banking domain.
VO : what are you going to do in Us?
Me : In order to sustain there buisness client is converting existing old IMS DB to.. ( he interupted me and asked "what are you going to do? )

Me: i will be converting existing ims db/dc modules to db2.In addition to this i will be co-ordinating onsite-offshore activities ( He again interupted me and said "ENOUGH")

VO: why you??
Me : I am an SME(Subject matter expert) in.... (he said "ENOUGH")..

By now i knw that i am in trouble.. so i tried to explain more

Me: Let me add on more valuable information why i prefered over others.. I have proficient knowledge in rare age old technologies like VAX VMS, UNISYS MAINFRAME & MVS ASSEMBLER. I know niche languages like WFL,DCL,XGEN,ASSEMBLER,IMS DB/DC ..( He started smiling (for the first time) and said " You dont av to pull out anythin additional"..

He collected the documents and gave to me and told "Your project or client might be needing you badly but at this point of time your not eligible for visa".. He gave me a sweet smile

I was thinking over what went wrong.. He and another girl was rejecting almost all the people before me.. But i think the real reason for my rejection are :

1. i said "onsite-offshore co-ordination" .. they dont really believe in that stuff with guys who have experiance of just 3 yrs like me..

2. They are fed up hearing SME.. dont use that word..

3. They dont knw anythin regarding rare technologies or anythin.. So it does it matter irf you say XGEN ( I doubt anyone in mainframe even know this) or COBOL.

My advice : Make sure that you convey your very best point in the first sentence itself. Being confident really doesnt matter i believe.. i hate to say but its true " luck plays a big part"
Best of luck!!
