L1B Individual Approved in Mumbai
Hi All,
I would like to thank all in this forum who shared there experiences and its my time to share mine. I applied for L1B Blanket and got rejected in August 2017 in Chennai, as VO mentioned the visa was not clearly approvable. The questions however was simple like:
1. Are you going to client site?
2. Who is your client
3. Where are you going to work
4. Explain your specialization.

I did my best to the extent and answered to my knowledge. However I feel people travelling to client site on L1B Blanket has a narrow scope. After rejection as usual I got dejected. But as in the other experiences this was not the end. So I explained my manager and he asked me to work on Individual process.
We started L1B Individual process in Oct 2017.
I submitted all the docs to our attorney in Nov 2017.
We got an RFE in 10 days as ours was premium processing in Dec 2017. But this is where the test begins as I saw in many of the experiences. The rejection during RFE is the last hurdle, so I gathered all the information I could about my project, my experience, my presentations.With the help of our attorney I reviewed all the docs. I took almost a month and submitted the RFE documents by Jan 2018 end.
For some reason attorney took its own time and submitted the RFE response in Mar 2018 end. And then comes the waiting period In next 10 days I got the Petition Approval mail in Apr 2018.
We scheduled an appointment on 21st May 2018 in Mumbai.
The rest of the process was straight.
18th May Biometric: I reached with my wife on time and the process completed in 15 mins.
21st May Interview: We reached an hour early but got entry once our scheduled time has come. It took 15 mins to reach the interview window.
VO: Good Morning!
Me : Morning Sir.
VO: Give me passport.
Me: I gave both the passports.
VO: (Continuously typing and looking at computer) after 1-2 minutes asked : What are your US duties?
Me: I explained in 1-2 lines.
VO: You going to client site?
Me : This was a trick question to tackle. I explained client location and mentioned in detail about the client - my parent company relation.
VO : After a long pause asked How long you working with XYZ?
Me : explained.
VO : Finally the Golden words "Your VISA is approved"
Me: Thanks Sir ! Have a good day.

So after an year with lots of up-down finally its done. It all depends on your chance, your preparation, eligibility and your confidence. Irrespective of your previous rejection if you are eligible then noone can stop you. Wish best luck to all the aspirants and thanks again to all who helped.
