L1 A individual at Hyderabad
Thanks to the excellent forum for people to share about their interview experience. Our turn to return it back.
My wife's company had applied for L1A individual petition through premium processing on Jan 25th. By Feb 1st got the approval notice (exactly 5 business days).
My wife will be a functional manager with *no reportees* at all.
VAC
-----------
VAC was pretty straight forward, and there are lot of floor supervisors to help you out. Reach the VAC only 15 mins prior to your appointment.
Consulate interview -
-----------------------------
Our appointment was at 11:00 am, reached the consulate by 10:30am. Since we had two kids (8 and 4 yrs), the process was reasonably expedited.
We were out of the consulate by 11:15am
We were fastracked to the interview counter after finger print verification.
Questions (Precisely 3 to the primary applicant, my wife)
The usual greetings were exchanged at first and then
VO: With the passport, so which company you work for?
My wife: ....
VO:What will be your role in US
my wife: Explained in 5 to 6 crisp bullet points, laced with some key words like budget control, road map planing, delegation to other units. (VO was not distracted at all, and she was patiently listening to my wife)
VO: How long you have been with this company
my wife: 6+ yrs
Then she turned to me -
1. How long you have been married for
2. Which City
Then to my son -
1. Are you excited about moving to US and making new friends?
And to my daughter -
1. are you ready for 14 hrs flight to the US
She approved our visa and completed the formalities in her system accompanied with some casual chit chatting.
Since it was a L1 A individual, our interview was very very straight forward. The officer did not even ask for I-797 paper or the I-129 paper.
Our 2 cents
------------------------------------
I know many people have recommended in this forum and I will also repeat - Ensure good eye contact and be confident. Be ready with precise/ crisp bullet points for your role in the US.
If I can help, please feel free to ask and I will answer based on whatever experience we have gone through and whatever knowledge we have gained.
