L1, L2 Visa

Thanks to all the users for summarizing your experiences here. It helped a great deal when i went for the process.My interview was scheduled on 13th July

A bit disappointed at the moment as I had put in some serious efforts over the weeks rehearsing the anticipated questions apart from the weeks of effort put in to fill the forms. However, US is not the end of the world. Jotting down the questions as below:

The interview questions were as follows:
VO: What is your designation
Me: Product Marketing Engineer

VO: Which organization?
Me: XX

VO: Where would you be moving?
Me: San jose

VO: How many years have you been with XX?
Me: Almost 3 years with XX and total of 8 years of domain experience in the same field

VO: What is your Job role?
Me: Work as a Product Marketing Engineer handling XX products I am overall responsible for defining new products and handling the marketing deliverable. Day to day responsibility would include:
(i)Defining new product specification for XX products by working with the design and Technical team
(ii)Handling the requirement and release of XX specific tools
(iii)Expert in XX product marketing processes and handle marketing collateral like Datasheet, Product introduction, product brochure and customer training workshops.

VO: Salary?
Me: 1XX

All the while the Visa Office was looking into the system while asking questions. Then she came across the term Market strategy in the petition and asked the following:

VO: What is your highest degree?
Me: MBA

VO: So, you define the marketing strategy?
Me: Yes, that includes pricing, promotion and Go to Market strategy. However, I also define the technical specification of the product for a new product.

Here I wanted to specify my technical expertise as I believe that is my actual specialization rather than defining market strategy.

Then she told me that she had to confirm something and came back after 5 minutes to say the following:

"L1B visa has a very narrow scope. There is no issue in your profile. However, the visa is clearly not approved. Please discuss with the HR"

I kind of expected this when she headed out for confirmation as most of the cases when they are not sure on something they reject it. However, greatly disappointed by the lack of transparency on the reason for reject.

Now, I am not sure if the category I applied is incorrect or the specialization is not convincing? Would greatly appreciate if someone can help here.

Thanks!
