L1, L2 Visa

Thanks to this community which helped me prepare - time to give back.

Had my interview earlier this July and i was accompanied with my spouse (who is not working) and 3.x years old kid. I managed to prepone the appointment date (checked for available slots everyday) by 10 days but had to rush as the new slot was just 2 days out!

On the interview date, we were given priority at all check points (due to kid) and were at fees payment counter in 15 mins of reaching the entry gate! In another 10 mins we were called for the interview (no wait in queue - volunteer asked if L1 and routed me ahead of final interview queue).

It was mostly standard questions -

Greeted but did not get a response as VO was engaged with his system

- How long have you been working in xxx company (known MNC)
2.x years. Also gave total experience which confused VO slightly so had to reiterate 2.x years in current firm.

- What is your Indian salary
I replied in INR MM to which VO was amused. Converted to Lacs immediately and he nodded!

- What is your designation in India
Mentioned (manager). VO was unsure so explained in 4-5 words

- What would be your designation in US
Mentioned (manager)

- What would be your salary in US
Mentioned total xyz including base of abc (Only base is mentioned in I129S) and benefits
(xyz > 180K)

- How many direct reports in US
Given (single digit)

- Which place you would be travelling
Given name of city

- Would they be travelling with you (pointing to family)
Yes

- Do you have another child?
No

- What would be total portfolio in terms of sales/revenue that you will manage?
Mentioned xyz (3 digits) MM USD

He started typing and stamping - i was jittery as no question was asked to spouse
After 2 minutes he gave the L1A blanket stamped copies of I129S much to the relief!

I was not asked roles/responsibilities, org hierarchy or hire/fire specifically (as direct reports was asked) and no questions to spouse
