L1A Blanket - Approved, Chennai 12th Feb
Hi All,
Thanks for sharing your experiences, these helped me a lot in preparing for my interview. Here is my experience. I had the Biometric and Visa interview both scheduled for 12th Feb and came along with my wife. Biometric, as mentioned by others, is a very straight forward process and you are in and out in 15-20 minutes.
For the consulate interview, there is no point in reaching consulate more than 15 minutes before your interview as you will have to stand on the side of the road. Please do not stand in the long queue and keep checking the time slot cards which are displayed to see the time slots which are being let in and move accordingly.
The guards outside do have lockers/spaces to keep your phones and other belongings and give you a token but I can't comment on the reliability of the same as I didn't use the facility.
The whole process took less than an hour, from standing in the first queue to coming out of the consulate. It could have taken much lesser time but there was a delay due to a discrepancy in my wife's photo; not sure how as the photo was taken an hour back at the VAC :).
After moving through the queues, we reach the VO and following questions were asked:
VO: Passport please.
Me: Gave the passport of me and my wife.
VO: You have applied for L1 Blanket?
Me: Yes.
VO: A or B?
Me: A
VO: Which company do you work for?
Me: Answered
VO: What do they do?
Me: Explained
VO: What is your designation in US?
Me: Manager - ZZZ.
Here she fumbles while typing, I make a joke about it, we share a laugh.
VO: How much is your salary in US?
Me: ZZZ,ZZZ$ with YYYY X performace bonus.
VO: Asked for three level of hierarchies.
Me: I will report to Director, he reports to the SVP who reports to the CEO.
VO: How many direct reports you have in US?
Me: 5.
VO: Do you have any indirect reports?
Me: No.
VO: What is your duty?
Me: Explained.
VO to my wife: How long have you two been married?
Wife: xx years.
All the while she was checking something on her computer and then she says congratulations, you visa has been approved. We thanked her and came out.
The interview didn't last for more than 5 minutes. Please be confident when you answer the VO and if your case is genuine, you have nothing to worry about.
Drop your email in case you want to know more and I will respond.
Thanks.
