L1B Visa rejected on 26th April
Hi,
Thanks for this website and people sharing their experiences, I had some idea what questions to expect.

My interview went like this.

V.O : Which company do u work for?
Me: YYYY

V.O : Designation?
Me: Sr. Software Engineer

V.O: Salary in INR per annum?
Me: YYYY

V.O: So your company is in E-Commerce and Supply Chain?
Me: Yes

V.O: Who is your client?
Me: I do not work for any client. I work for my product development.

V.O:What do you work on?
Me: I started explaining my specialization, but V.O interrupted me and asked what it is.(He wanted to know the product/project)
After some confusion, explained about my project.
They look at you intermittently. You should say these lines with confidence and clearly and maintain eye-to-eye contact, which i failed to do.

V.O : What langauges you use?
Me: We use proprietary tools.

V.O: But, you should be using some language?
Me: Explained the languages I used. The final nail in the coffin i think.

V.O: What is your role in the project?
Me: explained in 3 sentences.

V.O: Thank you.

Started typing somethin and then said I cannot approve the Visa. With same reason as given to others and gave the blue sheet.

1st step:
Take token from counter outside the consulate and go inside.
 
2nd Step:
Wait for your token no, token no will be displayed and screens. Go to the counter with all your docs.

3rd Step:
Go to the next counter for finger print scanning

L1B Approved after 2 weeks Administrative Processing
Hi All,
   Thanks to immihelp.com site for sharing valuable information and guiding us throughout the VISA process. I have attended VISA interview on 11-Apr @ Chennai and was given a PINK slip showing that my case is pending for Admin procession 221(g). It was a suspense till yesterday 23-Apr on the status of my VISA. I got a mail from VFS yesterday that my passport is ready for delivery. Today I got my passport with L1B stamped for 3 years.

All I want to say is that confidently answer the questions on your specialized skills and what will you be doing in US. Should not be a generic skill or a team work. The answer should be specific to you and a proprietary tool/product/framework developed by your company. All the best ..
