20th Oct - L1A Individual - Approved - Chennai
I got to know this forum for only 10 days before my interview, but it is such a treasure, i went through last few months' post and found the questions to be more or less the same, hence prepared my answers for FAQs.
My biometrics was on 19th Oct at Kodambakkam
There were no questions. The place where they take your finger prints and photo seems to echo a lot, so pay attention fully.
My interview for L1A individual was at 10am, however i reached the venue at 8:45am itself and was let in.
After long cramped queues here and there(1st queue to check your passport and 2nd one to check your finger prints), my turn came.
My VO was a very polite lady:
Me: Good morning, how are you?
VO: Good morning, very good, thank you.
She asked for my passport first
VO: Which one are you applying for - Individual or Blanket?
Me: Individual
VO: Can i have your petition document please? (I shared the same)
VO: Your designation at the proposed onsite role:
Me: Manager - ZZZ
VO: Your experience with your current organization
Me: Gave the answer in years and months
VO: Your Educational qualification
Me: Mentioned my Masters and Bachelors degree
VO: Your proposed salary in the US per annum:
Me: Mentioned the 6 digit figure along with the benefits
VO: Which client do you work for
Me: I do not work for any client
VO: Oh, you work for your own organization ZZZ, i understand.
VO: Are you married or single?
Me: I am married now (When i applied i was single)
VO: Oh i understand, you are recently married! Do you have any kids?
Me: No, i do not (and i smiled).
VO: your visa is approved, you can collect the passport in 5 days
Me: Thank you, would you need any other documents from my end?
VO: No ma'am, thank you, have a safe trip.
Me: Really appreciate your time, have a good day.
VO: you too
I dressed in crisp cotton salwar, was confident, and was absolutely undisturbed by what was happening to other petitions in front of me or in other counters because i saw lot of rejections even in tourist visas.
Few men were dressed in blazers and ties too, but normal western formals were good enough, as it is very warm inside, in spite of the air conditioning.
As others in the forum say, please be confident, please articulate your points well. They are only helping us to get our visas approved by asking more questions in case they do not understand it in the first instance. So be very clear with your answers.
