Important questions for interview (L1B - Specialized Knowledge)
1. Specialization: This is most important that you are able to explain your specialization in crystal clear terms. This crucial minute makes/breaks the day for you. You should organize your thoughts & explain in best possible manner. No confused statements & half-baked thoughts. Be confident while you speak.

2. Earlier travel details (Specially B1): Explain that you went for valid business travel & didn't misuse the visa. Due to Infosys B1 case, they now look out for misuses by other companies.

3. Salary & Experience: They should justify your specialized skill set.

Please dress in business formal, you should be presentable. Don't wear casuals, VO might misjudge you.

Best Wishes. Thanks Immihelp for hosting this forum.

Hello Friends,
This forum is great and very helpful who are going for visa interview. Thanks to all who have shared their experience here.

My visa interview for L1A was on 13th Mar 2012.
Here is my Interview:

Me: Good Morning Mam…
VO: Good Morning.
VO: Please give me your passport and form I-797.
Me: Provided.
VO: Are you applying for L1 for Manager or Specialized Skills?
Me: Manager
VO: For ‘xxx’ company?
Me: Yes
VO: What is your role?
Me: Explained in brief covering entire information.
VO: Which type of projects are you going to handle?
Me: Explained type of projects.
VO: How many employees are working at “xxx” company?
Me: xx employees
VO: How many people will report to you?
Me: xx
VO: Tell me about their designation.
Me: Informed her one by one.
VO: Are you married or single?
Me: Married
VO: Is your husband going with you?
Me: No
VO: So, he will stay here only?
Me: yes
VO: Is there any relatives are staying in US?
Me: No
VO: How many total years of experience?
Me: 6 years and 9 months
VO: For how much duration you will be there in US?
Me: 3 years

After this conversion I heard the golden words that “Your visa is approved and you will get your passport within 2-3 working days” and she said “Have nice journey”.

Surprisingly, next day I received my passport without visa stamp with yellow handout stating that “Not in PIMS and Correction in expiry date” that was 221(g) administrative processing pending. My company’s attorney had contacted US consulate Mumbai as well as US. Next day morning, I received mail from Mumbai Non-immigration visa: stating that your administrative processing is completed and you Do Not required to come at consulate. Submit your passport, yellow pending letter, print of this mail to nearest VFS office.
Finally, I received my passport with proper visa stamping within 3 business days.

Vital points:
• Proper dressing
• Confidence and eye contact with VO.
• Short answer (approximately 60 to 90 seconds max.) with precise information.

All the best....
