L1, L2 Visa

I had taken guidance from immihelp. So I wish to contribute my experience too.
I traveled to US in L1B . There in 2018 we tried to change the status from L1B to L1A. we got a RFE. We had to to provide all documents starting from W2 of proposed subordinates, Degree certificates of proposed subordinates, State Tax filing showing all the proposed subordinates state tax was filed in the reporting state. Apart from that as a manager outside US for more over 1 year we submitted the pay slips, degree certificates and the screen shoot of the PMS, Leave approval, Promotion recommendation of subordinates . But it was DENIED for the reason that the subordinates had not relived me from my day to day duties.

After that I return to home country and after more than one year we applied again in L1A blanket . My interview lasted for just 4/5 minutes.Below the conversation we had.

Me- Hi, Good Morning. How are you doing ?
VO- Doing good.(Smiled) Can I have your documents ?

She started checking my documents and asked

VO-L1A blanket ?
Me- Yes.
VO-How long are you with your current company ?
Me- 13 + years

After this she started typing on her system and while typing she was asking me the following questions.

Me- Said the person's name. (but she asked what is the position of my reporting person ) I said-AVP

She started typing again in the system, stamped in 3 sets of I-129. Then golden word came out from her mouth -"Your Visa is approved." Handed over a green slip.
