2. So are you applying for your managerial visa. (Answered)
3. How many people report into you at Offshore. (Answered)
4. How many people will be reporting into you at Onsite (Answered)

After this he was working on the system and then took some of the rubber stamps he had and finally said that the Visa has been approved.
He gave back 2 copies of the I129 petition paper and told me to give one back to my HR and the other to take along with me when i travel.

L1-A blanket and L2 got approved
Observation – It is not required to be present in front of the consulate more than 45 mins of your schedule time. If you go early you will get tired and of course get little tensed by looking at the people around you. Just 30-40 mins before the scheduled time go to the gate and show your appointment letter and proceed. You can bring the water for your kids. Do not get assistance anybody other than the Consulate security/officials. My entire process has taken 40-45 mins and I was out of consulate after interview. Dress in formals esp for L1A's. I wore formals with Tie.

At entrance we showed the appointment letter and passport and gave a token number.The remaining process is with this token number.
First step is some initial verification for the HDFC slip etc. The next is finger print verifiation
After this we will be redirected to the next buiding.
There first we will need to pay the border security fee DD (if applicable)
The next is waiting for our turn at the counter.
Interview:
We waited till our turn and when our turn came, we had to wait for some time since the VO went outside for something. I was a bit nervous.
Then after some time she came back and was looking at some thing in the system. She seemed to be disturbed.
After some time she called us.
We went with a smile and wished her good morning.
We had to wish a couple of times, since the microphes were switched off.
So we raised the voice a bit and greeted again, and then she came to know the mic was switched off and turned it on.
Then the question and answers round.
1) Which company?
2) Which client?
3) How long for this company?
4) Total experience
5) Experience in the current domain.
6) About the project
7) How long will you stay?
7) Location
7) Salary
8) Specialisation
9) Tools used for this project.
10) Again asked about specialisation.I told "We" implemneted xxx in the project and she asked what did you do specifically?
11) She told she did not understand that specialisation I told and asked to explain some more details.
She wrote something on some papers and told " I can approve your Visa today. Please take this paper work and give one to your company"
I thanked her.
No questions to my wife.
She gave back the petition papers and took our passport
We thanked her again with a smile.
She also smiled and wished good luck.
Thanks a lot for all the forum post which really helped us to prepare well and I did several mock ups based on the questons posted.

L1B Blanket - Approved
Hi,
Thanks to the forum, I got a fair idea of what kind of questions they ask and what kind of answers they are expecting.
Practice Practice Practice. Till you start dreaming about the interview and your answers come to you in your dream too!!
Questions for me - was a quickfire session:
1) Which Client
2) What is your project on
3) What is the objective of the project
4) What is your role
5) What is your designation
6) What is your salary (india)
7) What is your specialization
8) How many people have this specialization in your company
9) So why is it that only you can be sent
10) Tell me more about this tool
11) Who has developed it
12) How long are you required at onsite
Thank you, Your visa is approved.
Note:
1) None of my answers were more than 2-3 sentences
2) Dressing is not important. I saw guys in Tees and Jeans getting their visa approved and a guy in a suit getting rejected.
3) Sound convincing and talk about skills that is not easily available. Case in point - the guy in front of me got rejected. All he was saying is "integration, testing, enhancement, development" in different sentences.
4) Don't freak out. This is NOT based on luck. If you are really a "special knowledge worker", you will get it. No rocket science in it. :)
Cheers & ATB
