After this for 15 min VO was checking something on his screen & checking some data and me along with my wife were standing in front of the glass.
Not even a single question was asked to me or my wife.
After this VO said Sorry, as per the new security laws & as the specialized category is too high I can’t grant you L1 B Blanket Visa.
Please file an L1 individual Visa and your company ABC might be knowing the details as they might be sending many people on L1 B.
Also I need to Cancel your B1 as a standard procedure
