Payment of Fraud Prevention Fee using cash or card

[Raj81]

Hi All,

I am looking for help from folks who have already appeared for L1 blanket interview.

As per the Chennai consulate website, we can pay Fraud Prevention fee of $500 using DD/cash/card. However few posts from 2017 talk of Chennai consulate accepting only DDs.

Hi,

I had L1 Blanket visa stamped in August 2008 valid till August 2011. I din't go for extension/renewal. Is it possible to get it extended now?

What is advisable?

My husband is applying for L1 (blanket petition)? Should L2 be applied at the same time or once his is approved?

How much does it usually take (L2 process)?
