L1, L2 Visa

My L1A blanket application was approved in Chennai on 14th September. I went there with my wife and left my 4 year old at home as my friend had suggested that kids do get cranky waiting in the heat. The interview time was at 10 AM and I reached at 9.40 AM. There was a wait time of 30 mins outside the consulate building and finally, we were inside the building. First, we went through security check. Second, document check. Third, Visa fraud fee payment and finally, the interview. For all these stages, there was waiting of minimum 20 minutes. There is water provided and washroom is also present inside, which is very much required in the heat. Coming to the interview experience:

VO: What is the location where you will be working for ZZZ
Me: Told the city and state

VO: How long have you been working for ZZZ?
Me: 2 years, 4 months

VO: Whom will you report to in US?
Me: Told the name and position

VO: And who will he report to?
Me: Told the position and asserted that this is a senior executive position in my company

VO: What will be your salary there?
Me: $ZZZ,ZZZ

VO: How many direct reports will you have?
Me: Mine is a functional manager role so I will manage a team of 9 professionals but they will be reporting directly to their people’s manager (This is the most important question and I had researched a lot before providing this answer, which I found working for me but it is purely your luck if the consulate agrees with your perspective)

VO: So will you be handling any specific function?
Me: Told the function that I will be handling

VO: What is your salary in India?
Me: XX,XX,ZZZ

To my wife:
VO: How long are you married?
Wife: 7 years

VO: What is the age of your kid?
Wife: 4 years

VO: (Stamping on my I-129S) Your application is approved!

We came back to the hotel extremely relieved and happy. 2 days later, I checked the status of my visa and to my surprise, it showed 'Administrative Processing'. Its been 8 business days and it still shows the same. I again searched for it and figured that there is not much that one can do here except for waiting for a maximum of 60 days so fingers crossed, the passports should arrive soon.

This forum helped me immensely in my prep. My only advice to anyone reading this review would be to be very confident and to keep the answers crisp and short. All the best!
