L1B blanket and L1B individual visa interview experience
HI guys,

I would like to share my L1B blanket and L1B individual visa experience.

I applied for L1B blanket visa in April'17 with family and my visa got rejected as "Not clearly approvable".

Questions asked:

-Which visa you applied.
-Company
-Salary
-Designation
-Experience in current company
-Duration of stay
-Location
-My specialization-- I explained clearly
-My role--- I explained this clearly.
-Why only me and not others.
-Why US? -- VO was not satisfied with the answer I gave.

The only negetive point was I told VO that I work as a Global Technical Analyst for my product.
The response VO gave was if you work for a global TAC team then you can go to any part of the world but why only US.
I tried to convince him with my answers but VO was not satisfied and rejected my visa application.

I said Thank you and came back.
Felt very sad as I was preparing from almost 3-4 months.

I then discussed with my manager and applied for L1B individual.

I documented all the activities I did in the last 2.5 years.
-Trainings I took.
-Trainings I gave
-Knowledge management documents I created.
-Method of procedures for various activities.
-Root cause analysis documents.
-Process change documents.
-Certifications I completed.

After submitting my petition to USCIS I got RFE within a week for explaining some questions.

I again explained the duties in details and again within a week my petition got approved.

I attended L1B visa interview in August'17 with family.
My daugher was crying as she was feeling sleepy.

Questions asked.

-Petitioner
-Location
-Salary
-Years in current company.

And my visa was approved.

Please make sure you prepare a strong petition describing your job responsibilities.

Make sure you prepare for all the questions and be confifdent.

All the VO's are very nice. Please greet them as soon as your turn comes.
If you are lucky you many not get many questions.

Below are my thoughts:

L1B individual petition rejection rates are around 35%.
L1B Blanket denials are more than 50%

For L1B individual once the petition is approved there are 99% of approval.

Regards,
PD
