L1B Blanket Approved (B1 was denied last month)
Hi,
Thanks to immihelp for this facility on sharing/ learning on experiences.
Got my L1B Blanket Visa approved today. I was refused B1 last month. I went for 2 months training, but VO told its wrong category. Either J1 and H3 was right category.
After 2-3 weeks, I applied in L1B (Of course from company's blanket petition). I was worried on B1 refusal earlier. But went through well. Interview went like this:
Me: Good Morning sir
VO: Good Morning sir, how are you doing today?
Me: Am doing good sir, thank you
VO: (after reading my DS160 on his comp) Oh your B1 was rejected?
Me: Yes sir, we applied for 2 months training under B1 and got to know it was wrong category. Now company has the changed the position and want me to work there instead of training.
VO: Okay, where do you work sir?
Me: <company name>
VO: What do they do sir?
Me: <explained>
VO: What do you do for your company sir?
Me: <explained my roles and responsibilities including 'specialized skills' in 2-3 lines>
VO: what is <***skill>
Me: <explained>
VO: what is <***>. He asked 2-3 questions to understand my skill project. They were related to semiconductor Industry.
Me: <explained>
VO: Typed some thing in computer for 1-2 min.
VO: Sealed on all three I129S forms.
VO: visa approved. I will keep one copy, give one to HR and carry one with you when you travel. congratulations.
Me: Thanks a lot sir. Have a good day.
VO: You too sir, thank you
Key notes:
1. Greet him at the beginning/ end, keep smiling, answer every question very calmly and with smile. That shows you are not tensed.
2. 'specialization skill' matters a lot because it is L1B! We need to convince him in simple language. Most semiconductor engineers wont have problem because we will know state of the art technology and which is new and special. Dont throw any hi-fi words, tech words, be simple.
3. I was worried on effect of Obama's new presidential role, but didn't effect here!
4. Suit, tie is not must.
5. Dont forget to give $500 DD before VO interview. Giving DD is specific to few visa's so you should not move on with regular people/ queue.
6. Eye to eye contact is must when you answer
7. If I greet him with 'sir', he also was greeting me with 'sir'. that's his kindness. we also need to be kind enough whether visa approves or rejects.
All the very best to all.
Thanks,

L1B - Rejected at Chennai
I attended the interview on 8th with my spouse and kid. We completed all the security process and went for the interview.
We waited for some time and was called for interview.
VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning
VO: For which company you are working?
Me: ABC
VO: What is your Specialization?
Me: I explained about the applications which I developed for the past 2 years for the client. He interfered in between to ask more on the domain. As i explained that he started typing something in the system. (Specialization knowledge I had was on the applications which was developed using the proprietary tools of my company. I wanted to explain that I will be doing production support for those applications. I was not able to explain as expected :-( )
After some time he took a slip, wrote something and gave to me saying that please talk to HR for processing the right kind of VISA.
Reason for Rejection(from my analysis)
1. I could have filled the DS160 application better with details of specialization. I was expecting to explain specialization at the time of interview.
2. Interview did not go smoothly and was not able to explain well (was bit tensed too).
3. That was not my day. :-)
All the Best for the VISA aspirants. Take time to fill DS160 by explaining more on specialization. At the time of interview try to explain everything(experience and specialization) at once. VO may not ask a second question. If they are convinced they will grant you VISA.

L1B VISA Question
All Members,
I have gone through most of the posts. I will be having a L1 B VISA interview in the coming month.
My Question is I have traveled to US on B1 more than 3-4 times earlier for Knowledge Transitions for different projects.
Is there any cases where this is considered adversely by the VO?
Any suggestions to prepare for the interview.
Thanks in Advance.
Avinash

Me Thanks you very much Sir. Nice to Meet you. Have a great day.
I am thinking to fly and wanted to jump there only as feeling myself on cloud 9.
My 2 cents:
1. You should have luck first of all.
2.If he want to find a flaw he can find in anyway so depend on VO mood as well.
3.Experience matter with current company and client
4.Explanation on specialization matter a most to change his/her decision.
5. Petition docs like I129, BEP letter should not have any descripancy with DS-160
Good luck to all readers of Immihelp, you are already luckly if you got this forum so half of battle you already won.

L1B-Approved
Hi All,
First of all thanks to immihelp.
I have attended interview on 5th Nov,Its very cool.below is my experience.
My appointment is scheduled at 11 A.M,Reached consulate at 9.45 and they allowed me inside and came out at 11.20.
Below are the questions asked to me :
VO : To which company do you work ?
Me : Answered in one word
VO : Who is your client?
Me : Answered in one word
VO : Wats your specialization? (He started reading the BEP letter Issued by my employer)
Me : Answered in one line (Be sure to answer this very crisply)
VO : Typed some thing and asked wats your experience ?
Me : Answered in one word
VO : Suddenly he started putting a stamp on my 3 copies of I-129S
Me : I thought he is rejecting my case
VO : Here are your copies & your visa is approved
Me : Thats great,Have a great day and Happy christmas ahead :-)
VO : Visa officer smiled a lot and said same to you :-)
The Interview hardly took me 1min.
for the people who are attending : Nothing to worry,be very confident,Look into the eyes of VO while speaking and answer should be very crisp.Make sure your specialization is expalined properly in your BEP letter (Very Important). But One thing for sure - Its purely your luck,I have seen the other guys who answered very well than me but got rejected :-(. They should feel that you are specialized in a technology in which people are not available in US ) So dont go to Interview with traditional technologies especially like Java,SAP,Testing, .Net.
Al the best.
Thanks..
