Hi All,
This forum helped me a lot during preparation. So its now time to #giveitback.
These are the questions asked -
1. Have you been to US ?
2. Tell me about your role
3. What's your team is going to do ?
4. Tell me about your project (VO gave more emphasis here and was matching whatever is in document to what I am saying )
5. He then asked for my Org Structure document
After that he kept typing for some time and then the golden word - Visa is approved.
Now here is my profile -
Total 11 year IT experience and salary is in the range of 90k usd.
I will suggest people to conduct mock interviews . This helped me a lot during my preparation and help me to find out my shortcomings. Also please make sure you know everything that is in the document. Because what I found out is that VO is matching what you to the document

L1A Blanket - Approved
This site helped me a lot. I am paying back by adding my own experience here.
Following questions were asked to me.
1. Hi good morning
2. Do you work for XYZ ?
3. What is your designation?
4. Who's your client?
5. Do you manage the entire IT program for client Organisation?
6. How many employees directly report you?
7. Can you tell me some designations of those who report to you?
8. Can you tell me the month, day and year of your marriage?
Once I answered to this question, asked my wife to confirm the marriage date !
Took about 30 seconds looking through her computer monitor and then said “your visa is approved".
The whole conversation took 3-4 minutes.
No specific questions were asked to my wife.
Tips:
•In chennai never go too early. You may end up waiting in hot weather. It can frustrate and affect your interview. Going on time really helped me.
•Carry some cash to pay for fluctuation in dollar price. Check this page to calculate the differential amount. http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/consular-fees.html
•Carry photo especially if you have small kids.
•Train and rehearse but don't mug up answers. Confidence is key.
•Get familiar with American accent, just to avoid misunderstanding of questions and giving irrelevant answers.
Good luck !!

Should wife quit for L1B visa interview ?
Hi All,
I am going for L1B blanket visa interview with my wife.
Should my wife resign before we attend the interview ? And bring the resignation letter along to the interview ?
That ofcourse doesn't sound wise If we fail the visa interview. But I wonder what everyone else is doing for coming to interview ?
Wife having a job can be an issue because the VO can think that wife will continue her job in US, if there is a US entity for wife's company.My wife plans to quit her job once we get the visa approved.
Can someone please share their experience?

Query regarding taking children during my L1A
My husband is in the US on L1A Blanket visa. Very soon, I also will be going for my L1A blanket visa appointment. I have two children aged 6 &3 whom I will be applying as dependents along with my L1A.
When I go for my visa interview, am worried that my kids might distract me or run around while I am speaking to the VO or looking for documents.
So, my query is would I be allowed to take someone along with me to look after the kids while I am with the VO?
Would appreciate if anyone in a similar situation can share their experiences / tips.
