L1A Blanket approved with incorrect L1B stamp
Hi All, First of all thanks to everyone who has contributed on this forum.
My L1A Blanket was approved last week but the approval stamp was circled on L1B. I called the consulate right when I realized this and they have now sent my passport back along with 221g form and requested me to appear for another interview. Can anyone please share any similar experience?
Questions asked to me at the interview
- What visa are you applying for
- What company do you work for
- What does your company do
- What is my role in the company
- Have I been to the US before
- What will be my US salary
- What is my highest level of education
- What is my total years of experience
After this my I-129s was approved but later I realized the stamp said L1B and not L1A. Anyone with similar error on behalf of the consulate please let me know your experience.
Thanks
