L1B Blanket Approved
I had my L1B Blanket interview on 31st of January and my Visa got approved. This site helped me a lot for my interview preparation.
These are the question asked.

- What is your specialization?
- How it works?
- Have you developed this product?
- No. of people working of this product?

These are the only question I've been asked and after that he started typing on his system(a big silence) for a minitue, and finally he stamped and handed hover two copies of I-129S to me and said carry 1 copy with you when you travel to US.

My L1A Blanket Rejected on 28th Jan. Thanks to the forum anyhow for sharing all their experiences. Here are the questions asked:

VO: How are you? Please hand over the papers
Me: I'm doing good? How are you?
VO: I am good. Thank you.

I handed over the Documents (I129S, I797 - 3 sets which were tied up by the people assisting for L visas at the 2nd counter).

VO: So you are working for YYYY (Looking at my tag)?
Me: ZZZ

VO: Will you be working at the client location or at YYYY premises?
Me: At client location

VO: Who is your client?
Me: ZZZ

VO: Which client? He asked me again
Me: YYYY ( I pronounced it in Indian way)
VO: OK. ZZZ. (He pronounced it in American accent)

VO: What are your responsibilities? Looking at his system
Me: I explained what was mentioned in the Documents. 4-5 sentences

VO: Interupted me and asked Whats your Salary in US? Looking at me
Me: YYYY dollars per year

VO: How many people report to you
Me: 17

VO: How many are direct and how many are indirect
Me: 3 direct and 14 indirect

VO: Are these 3 direct reportees are Leads?
Me: 2 Managers and 1 Lead

VO: How long are you planning to stay in US
Me: 3 years

VO: There was a pause for 1 minute while he typed something in his system and gave me the passport and 2 copies of I797 and I129s papers and told,
Sir, Unfortunately I cannot give you visa. The reason is "Not Clearly Approvalble". There are other ways to travel to US. Please go and talk to your HR and ask them to apply in a different category.
He kept one copy for himself.

Me: Can I explain you why I fit into this role and provide you more details?
VO: Smiled at me and said, Please explain to your HR and tell them to apply in a different category
Me: No Porblem. Thank you

I thought he almost accepted and ready to break me some good news but when the word "Unfortunately" came up my mind was blank.

The VO was friendly and smiling through out the interview. No Complaints...

I didn't understand what he meant by apply in a different CATEGORY?

CATEGORY as in L1A Individual CATEGROY
or
A different Visa type all together.

Anyone can you let me know what this means so that I can proceed further

Your ideas/thoughts are highly appreciated.

L1B Approved on 27th Jan
Hi,

I must say this forum was really helpful in many ways for helping go through the entire L1B Visa process from start to finish.

I had my interview yesterday @ 11 AM. Infact the interview was over even before the scheduled time.The entire process was smooth an d organised both at the OFC and at the Consulate.

 Was asked the following questions

1. Which Company?
2. How many years with the Current Company?(Believe answer to this does make a difference)
3. Which City are you travelling to?
4. What is your specialization?
5. Why only you from your team?

She was convinced and approved by VISA with a smile. Preparation plays a vital role. Be confident and make sure you convince the VO in those 4-5 mins of interaction. Luck does play a part. Please review this forum for A-Z of information about the L1 Visa process and preparation. This site is like a Wiki for VISA queries.

Thanks Immihelp.

L1A visa approved
Hi,

Thanks for everyone who have posted their experience on this forum, it really helped me in the preparation for the visa interview.
My experience below:
Yesterday I and family went to the chennai consulate for visa interview.
We went to OFC and got the photos and fingerprints done.
We then went to the consulate and there was hardly any crowd. There was some protest by college students in chennai and the whole road was jammed and lot of police presence.
We breezed through into the waiting hall and stood in the queue to get our documents verified.
To our suprise and dismay, the document verification lady told us that some issue in transfer of our photos/ fingerprints from the OFC and asked us for mine and wifes photo. Unfortunately we did not have, so we went outside and an autorickshaw guy helped us get the photos done in a local shop nearby.
We then went back into the consulate and got the documents verified and went for the interview with the VO.
The VO asked us how are we doing and talked to my daughter, daughter did not respond as she was feeling shy.
Following were the questions
VO: Do you work for xxxx?
Me: Yes.
VO: Whats your current designation:
Me: Answered.
VO: Whats your designation in the US:
Me: Answered
VO: So you are computer professional?
Me: No. Explained my role.
VO: Kept looking into his screen and typing something and then took my petition papers, stamped them and gave it to me.
VO: Those are your documents, your visa is approved. Have a nice day
Me: Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

My learning. Be confident and show positive body language. When I was mentioning my US designation, i slightly stammered and the VO was looking at me very keenly. However I recovered and the rest of the answers I gave very confidently.

L1 B Blanket Approved
Hi Guys,

I attended L1 B blanket interview at Chennai on 9th Jan and my visa got approved

thanks a lot, this forum helped a lot, i read around 10 pages before attending the interview and also gave 1 mock interview in the company.

and my interview questions are:-

1) what is ur purpose of going to US?
2) have you visited US before?
3) how long you are going to stay in US?
4) what is your specialization?
5) are you going to manage some one?
6) why this task can not be done by others?

Guys from my end two tips to crack the interview

1) Be confident on whatever you answer
2) Don't listen to the guy who is giving interview in front of you.

all the best.
