L1B Blanket Not Clearly Approved, 23rd Dec, Chennai
Mine was L1B Blanket and It got denied on 23rd Dec, Chennai.
Questions asked:
1) Company I worked for
2) How long been working with this company
3) Client I will be working for
4) US Designation
5) Salary
She typed something for 1 min and took the stamp and I129.
I thought she will approve my visa, suddenly she asked about my role & responsibility and she said that she cannot approve my visa under L1 Blanket category and I should apply it under L1 Individual.
My Queries:
1) Does anyone had successful experience in getting L1B Individual cleared after L1B Blanket Denial?
Regards.

L1B Visa approved in Chennai consulate today (23 Dec)
Mine was L1 B individual. So there was very less chance for rejection. This site was immensely helpful and am documenting it for other users benefit.
First day was finger printing and you need to carry only PP, DS160 and appointment confirmation letter. It's sufficient to go there just 15 min before your appointment and process is easy.
I was preparing a lot for the interview and was worried :). My appointment was at 10:30, but i reached the consulate around 9:15 and they asked me to join the key. They verified my DS160 and password and then security check.
After that the finger print was verified and one more check. Then we (me and wife) were asked to join the queue for the interview. Today looks a good day for the people and i didn't see much rejections. My time came
VO: GM.
Myself: GM. How are you doing ?
VO: I am good thank you. How are you ?
Myself: We are good. Thanks
VO: Are you working in YYYY ?
Myself: Yes
VO: How long are you working there ?
Myself: YYYY years and YYYY months.
VO: Can you give your I797 ?
I gave it and he was looking for 20-30 sec.
VO: What's your marriage date ?
Myself: After a little bit thought, i said xxx
VO (To my wife): Is it correct ?
My Wife: Yes
Vo (To my wife): What's your highest qualification ?
My Wife: M.Sc Psychology
Vo (To my wife): Are you analysing us now ?
My Wife: She didn't understand the question and he repeated again and she smiled and said no.
Then the words we were waiting to hear. You visa is approved :-). VO took the passports and returned us the I797.
We: Thank you and Merry christmas.
VO: Wish you the same.
The overall process took 1 hour 30 min.
So for L1 individual, i think there is no need to carry I129. But better to carry.
Thanks

Hi Friends,
My Company wants to file visa. Please let me know which one is better to go for H1B visa or L1B Individual..? Usually we know H1B is depends on lottery basis. But heard L1B ratio also very less.
Please suggest me.

L1B Interview - Document clarification
Hi All
My visa interview is scheduled on next week. Many of the people have mentioned about I129 form. I have couple of questions on it
- It was applied by employer. The employer has sent me the scanned copies of the form that was applied. But there is no receipt number in the document. Is the print of scanned copy sufficient ?
- They sent me the original I-797B . It has some receipt number. Is this sufficient ?
- Photographs - How many should i carry ? Is there any specification for that ?
Thanks
Suren
