I had my L1 visa interview today and unfortunately was not able to get the visa. I asked the officer regarding the rejection, he informed the rules have become strict and asked me to work with HR and apply for different Visa.
Although I found the conversation went fine, so not sure why was the visa rejected.
Below is the conversation that we had:
VO: How long have you been working for XYZ?
ME: I recently completed 27 months on Aug 7 with XYZ.
VO: What is your current salary?
ME: Answered . (My salary is more than 20 Lakh)
VO: so you recently travelled to US?
ME: Yes sir , I was on a business trip from July28 to Aug 11.
VO: Purpose of travel?
ME: I was in US for business meeting and training purpose. So, our team recently merged with ABC , hence I was in US to understand their processes and brief them about our team processes.
VO: What merger?
ME: So, our team use to manage the A Business and ABC Team use to manage B Business . As both the teams have quite a bit similarities in the working, so management decided to merge both the teams.

Now my company is planning to apply for L1A individual next month.In INDIA i am not having any direct reportie whereas in US i will have 9 Direct reporties. Will it impact my L1A individual case as i am not a people manager in INDIA? Should i apply for L1B individual ?
