L2 visa interview waiver for NIV
Hi, I just noticed on VFS site about less than 7 yr old's have NIV waiver for visa interviews. I am unsure if my 4 yr old has to visit the consulate for her L2 stamping

https://www.vfs-usa.co.in/USIndia/pdf/MDBCStaticWebPage.pdf

Got my L1A done at Chennai last week, now need the L2 stamping for my dependent spouse and kid. Any light on this aspect would be helpful. Thanks.

Got L-1B and L2 (for family) [Chennai]
Thanks immihelp!

I went for visa interview on the 8th June 2012 along with my wife and 2 and half year old son.
I was asked following questions -

What kind of software you are working on?
What is your specialized skill?
Which place you are going to work in US?
Are you going to work for any client?
How long you are going to stay in US?
How long have you been working in India office?
Have you have ever been to US on work visa?
What is your salary in India?

To my wife -
When did you both get married?


IMO If your case is genuine then visa officer will not deny you visa.


They do not allow bags (cloth bags, very thick bags etc) inside the Consulate building.
Only folders and plastic carry bags containing documents are allowed.
But if you have kid with you then you are allowed 1 small bag to carry few food items for the kid.
There is one person (I think its not official) outside the consulate with whom you can deposit
the bags for a nominal fee (but the bags should not contain any document).
I advise to not to carry any bag other that folders and plastic carry bags.

Thanks immihelp and thanks for all the experiences in this forum. They really helped me.

It took around 1 hour for the whole process.

At the entrance of the consulate they give us a token, which will be our token number for the whole procedure.

While entering the consulate, security verification was done.

I have waited my turn, then submitted my documents.
There are screens which display the number.

After submitting the documents, They have scanned my finger prints.

Then they have asked me to go to the next building.

After paying the DD, I have waited for 20 min for my token number.

The officer took 2 min,

1. How long have you been working for xxx company?
2. Indian Salary?
3. Your Specialized knowledge?
4. Where in US?
5. Are you going to work for ur parent company?
6. How long will you be staying?

The came the golden words "Your visa is approved"

Overall, the officer was looking for if the Specialized knowledge is appropriate for the category...

Be confident and All the Best guys.......

L1 A Blanket approved
Thanks to this website... however frankly there are more rejections than what we see on this site... I was in the queue and all 3 cases in front of me got rejected. 2 L1 B and guy just in front of me was applying for L1 A.

My experience:

4 simple questions:

1) How long you have been with XYZ (my employer). - X yrs and Y months (its more than 10 years actually)

2) What's your designation? - Program Manager

3) What is your salary in INR?

4) Which client you will be working for - To which I said multiple clients and named a few.

after the first question itself I saw him ticking the box... I feel its mostly pre-decided... I don't think they can decide in a 2 minutes.

4) What's you salary?

L1B Blanket Approved
Thanks for all the experiences posted in this forum they really helped.

Being a technologist working in the SAP space..coming up with an answer for the specialization question was really tricky. Fortunately my company has few proprieitory tools we utilize on implementation projects which really helped. Plus my long association with the same client..4+ yrs and 10+ yrs of core experience.

Questions :
1. What do you do for your company ?
2. Where are you going in the US ?
3. Which Client ?
4. What's your specialization ? after answering VO stressed that these tools must be used by lot of folks in your company in the US. For that i had to come up with a quick reply with which the VO was satisfied.
5. How long have you been working for this client ?

Thanks and Best wishes to all those you are going to be appearing for interviews.

Dear All,
              First of all thank you all for your valid inputs on the process preparation.Also i would like to share my experience to help further.
              I have got 7 years of overall experience and in my present company i was working only for last 1 and half year.
The VO was bit rude and i though that this is going be my rejection day.The day started very rough with each counter checking my photo revalidating my papers and asking me questionswhile others were done in 2 mins(quiet humiliating).Somehow came to the fourth counter at last to get my interview.

The VO was rude she wasnt even greeting or smiling and blasting the other guy who was in process.I though it was going to be my rejection day.It went like this.

VO: which company are you working for ?
Me:I have answer.
VO:so how long do you work here?
VO:Were you hired as manager.?
VO:How many people report to you?
VO:So what is this project.
I start saying i handle a account and gave details of my project.

she approved my visa and stamped my papers.

Guys all i wanted to share with my experience is ..Confidence matter 50% and ur lucky matter 30% and ur preparation matters rest.So stay confident and say bold even if u r wrong be confident u wil get the visa for sure. All the best
