L1B Visa Experience in Chennai
Hello Everyone, Firstly a huge Thanks to this forum - this forum has been really helpful on the process and in preparing for the Visa interview. As most people on this forum have mentioned - being confident and answering to the point is the most important thing.
My suggestion, read through the experiences shared by ppl in this forum and prepare yourself on the q's and how wld you answer it for your specialization.

OFC : Date 7-Aug-2013
My appointment was as 3:30pm. Only the DS-160, Appointment letter and passport are required here. No other documents are asked for. The entire process took about 10-15 mins. The officer scan's your finger-print's, take's your photo and your done.

Visa Interview : Date 8-Aug-2013
My appointment was at 9am, reached the consulate around 8:30am. Entered the building around 9:15.
First, your documents are verified and then your passport, DS-160 and 3 copies of I-129S are bundled together and handed over to you.
On entering the Visa Interview building, first pay the DD's for L1-Blanket and then wait for your turn.

I paid my DD around 10:00am and I was called for an interview @ 11:45am. There were many people on this day, so had to wait for a pretty long time for my interview. Finally my number was displayed and here is the question's asked by the VO -

(VO hands over two stamped copies of I-129S and keeps one copy along with the passport.)

The entire interview time was a little more than 5 mins. I tried to be as confident as possible and pulled it through.
Post the interview, filled the courier form for my passport to be delivered to Bangalore - they charge Rs300/- per passport.

I received my passport on 13-Aug.

Good Luck Guys !!!
