L1B waits ends with good :)
So there i was at the entrance of kolkata mbassy for the L1B interview. Scheduled time was 8:30 am 29th july. With all the nervousness and unaware of routes of kolkata I left my hotel a bit early and reached mbassy by 7:30am.

Ah! So there it starts. To my surprise i could find any rush at the entrance of the consulate;showed my apmnt letter to the security person , submitted my belongings at the locker and moved to the waiting area.

After like 15 min. another security person started announcing the token no. with 5 in one slots. and there was my no. called.

Submitted my docs and took a sit for the big thing.

And there it begins all ..!! although this consulate didn't gave me the aura of more nervousness as ppl looked calm enuf. i waited and waited. It was 9:05am in the clock and there was I my name was called.

[ I stopped in betwn as he kept typing and wasnt even looking at me, i thot he has made decision, he suddenly looked up and said keep going on Mam i am hearing you out. ;)] I started cont. again.

L1 B Rejection Kolkata
Hi,

My L1B was rejected for lack of specialized Knowledge.

I see in this forum everyone posting the Questions asked but for the Answers giving YYYY or XYZ.

I would like it if people post answers as to some questions, like what was their Specialized Knowledge, and how they convinced the Interviewer regarding it. That would help others have an idea what kind of answer is needed or how to frame our replies.

We already know what all questions will be asked, so questions are of no help without the answers which will give a better idea.
