L1A Blanket Rejected @ Chennai
This site is awesome and it has helped me a lot, i prepared 21 different questions after going through first 30 pages of this site, wrote the scripts for each of those questions, post my interview i realized that all questions came from these 21 questions. I couldn't crack it, that my bad.

My company applied for L1A blanket, which got rejected on 9th of July, below is my interview experience:
Me Good Morning Officer.
VO: Good Morning

VO: So you work for ZZZ
Me: That's correct officer

VO: which client are you going to work for?
Me: I am not going to work for any client, i will be working for my parent organization. My team helps acquire new customers and new business from existing clients.

VO: How many years you are working in this organization?
Me: 4years 11 Months

VO:How many years of total experience do you have?
Me: 9 Years & 9 months

VO: What is your role and responsibilities
Me: I Lead the sales engineering team for unified communications product & services portfolio within Network Practice which is a strategic business unit. I am responsible for business development, team management & team expansion to meet the larger organization goal of revenue growth

VO: How many direct & indirect reports?
Me: 8 direct 5 indirect

VO: How many in US
Me: Currently none, I am going to expand the team in the North Americas as we are losing business to competition because of no local presence.

VO: How many resources are you going to hire?
Me: 8 resources, 2 in jersey, 2 in dallas, 2 in chicago and 2 in Sunnyvale.

VO: what is going to be your US salary?
Me:91620 Fix +10180 Bonus

VO: whom do you report to?
Me: DGM

VO: What does it stands for?
Me: Deputy General Manager

VO: Whom does he reports to?
Me: General Manager

VO: Whom does he reports to?
Me: Senior Vice President

VO: Checked something in the computer, and handed over me the blue slip mentioning " L1 Blanket has a low margin and your visa can not be approved"

I am not sure what went wrong? I have gone through this site thoroughly, i prepared my responses for each and every question, i even took my spouse and 3 year old for this interview, kept a smiling face with eye contact with the officer, still dint get the visa.

i have observed that the folks who are in sales cycle, like Business development, pre sales and at mid management level are not getting blanket L1A.

My organization wants to apply for L1A individual now, i have following queries, and would appreciate if some one helps with these:
1.> I dont have any onsite reports, I am going to build an onsite team, train & coach them and come back, on this condition should i apply on L1A individual or shall i go for L1 B Individual?
2.> Shall i change my reporting to a senior folk in my new petition, would this be a challnge as in my blanket petition, my RM has been a DGM, would they cross check my blanket petition?
3.> I am going with a revised salary of 125K in my new petition, again will they cross check this with my blanket petition?
4.> For BDMs like me, what kind of RFEs should I expect, so that i start preparing those docs.
5.> Would appreciate if someone can route me to a good visa consultant, cant afford a rejection this time, so want to file a perfect petition and prepare according to it for the D-Day.
