my slot was at 8 AM ,i have reached consulate by 7:30 AM... after all formalities i faced VO at 10:45 AM.
discussion:
1) We both wished him
VO: what will you do in US?
me:little introduction about my company and explained about my expertize on xxx product and finally i told "i was choosen to imlement this new product at client which will be major change in YYYY X system of my client"
2)VO: what will be the change?
This is what i have expected 2nd question from him

3) at what stage that producct is when you joined your company?
me:xxxxx
4) how long you are working for this company?

finally he stopped questining me and asked my wife about marriage details.

finally he said it's approved


suggestions:
1)be prepared and say confidently even if you are not sure about the answer which you are giving
2)don't use much technical words,you can explain him with examples but they may ask you questions from that example be prepared for that
3)look into his eyes and answer.
4) keep saying till he stops you.

all the best friends.

L1B Rejected.
Hi,
I had my L1B interview at H'bad consulate on 15-Jun-11 and got rejected.
He asked me 2 question only,
1. How long you with ur company?
2. What you do ?
He was not listing to my answer and gave me a blue slip and rejected.

It seems that they are not interested to give L1B visa to any one b'cas before me he rejected 3 more people and just asked one or 2 question to everyone.
Can anyone tell me whether the Visa fees is refundable or not , b'cas I gave them two DD 105000 and 23500 Rs.

Thanks
Ketan

L-1 Rejection
Hi,

I got a blue slip for L1-B stamping on the 15th at chennai.

Reason- Your blanket L-1 application is not clearley approvable under section 8 CFR 214.2 ans INA 101 (a)(15)(L)


The question asked were usual ones like the job profile/ current exp with the client etc etc - I observed that the blue slip was kept ready even before the they asked the quesions about my job profile.

There were no detailed questions asked on the role profile etc.. and it was over in less than 5 mins with the final response that I should get back to my HR department for any further details.


Queries:

They have not asked me to submit any documents, do I still stand a chance for re applying or re checking if my organisation can check through my attorney the reason for rejection.


Regards
A
