L1B Blanket - Approved@Chennai on 05 July
VAC:
Went to VAC at Begumpet (Near US consulate – Airtel building road- you will find pointers to Gowra Grand) with DS 160 form and appointment confirmation. There are lockers outside PSK in Begumpet where we can store cell phones etc if needed. We can park two wheelers in Queens Plaza (by checking with Guard) or parking near Gowra Grand(as per pointers avbl). They take photo and stamp the DS 160 in VAC. Mobiles are not allowed. Hence store it in bike/car/lockers at PSK.
Location of VAC: Left of PSK Begumpet. Please ask guards for US fingerprint. They will guide you.

Interview:
My appointment was at 10:30 AM. I have reached Chennai consulate by 10:00 AM. There were hardly 10 members in the line. They are allowing half an hour before appointment. Please take a note of security regulations and carry cash only in pockets/small file folders. No purse/cellphone etc will be allowed.
After going in, we are supposed to segregate the 8 pages of I129 and first page of I797 separately as 3 copies. Better to take binding clips if possible. Remaining documents, you can store separately. Please mention visa category to support staff so that they can direct you appropriately.
I was directed to second building where there is a line of 40 people. We were then directed to fees payment counter where I had provided the demand draft for $500. They gave the receipt. Then I was directed to the counter where they verified finger prints and passport.
Then we go to visa interview line. A total of around 60 applicants were there in front of me. There were counter numbers 26-35 in which people will go for final round. There are specific windows for L1B Visa and support staff will guide us appropriately.
Documents to be carried: Passport, Appointment confirmation, I129 3 copies, I797 (first page) – 3 copies in one folder.Give these to Visa Officer. Remaining all documents as told by your company in another folder.
Questions asked:
1. So – you are a Manager or a specialized knowledge professional
2. What is your specialized knowledge? – Answered about the client specific tool that I developed
VO starts typing....fingers crossed
3. Where are you going in US – Ans. Tell your location from I129
4. Are you going to work for client or your company? – Ans. I am developing this tool as specialized tool for my company. It will be deployed for multiple clients in same sector
5. Why only you and not others in your company?
6. Whom will you report to ?
7. Where will you be traveling in US?
8. What is your Salary?
Then the VO uttered golden words : “Your Visa is approved” . I am returning two I129 to you. Give one of them at port of entry. Please note: Chances of rejection are high if we say we will work for client
