L1 B blanket visa interview experience
I had applied for L1 B blanket visa and had appeared for interview at Chennai consulate on 5th Nov 2015. Following were the questions that were asked to me -
1. Where do you work currently?
2. How long have you been working there?
3. Will you be working at a client's site in US?
4. What is your salary going to be?
5. What's your specialized knowledge? (First I explained in short but he prompted for a more explanation. I then explained in more detail in layman language.
6. How long will you be staying in US?
My visa was approved. The interviewer was very friendly. He even joked with me and at the end wished me safe journey to the US.
Information which others might find useful -
1. Mine was a L1 blanket petition and a new petition was approved to the company after I had scheduled my appointment. So my DS160 form had old petition number and my I-129S from had the new petition number. I told the person at the counter which to which you go after the DD and fingerprint verification counters. He then updated the petition number to the new one.
2. Leaving early helps - I had arrived at the consulate about 40 minutes before my scheduled appointment. A staff member made entry of my passport details in his device and then I got in the long queue to for security check. Half way through the queue I remembered that I had left my company id card at my hotel room. I was aware that it is required but the person in our company handling all the visa work for us had told me to carry it. So I ran back to my hotel room, picked up the id and came back. But I was now at the end of the queue for security check and my appointment was only 5 mins away. Then I mustered some courage, went to front of the queue and told the security guard and the consulate staff member about it. He then allowed me to skip the queue and I went straight for the security check.
3. Redbus is offering huge discounts on hotel bookings. I stayed at the Park hotel and had got a huge discount on booking through Redbus.
4. There is a suburban train station just next to the Chennai airport with a decent frequency of suburban trains. You can take a train from there to Egmore station which is just 6KM from the US consulate.
