My VISA stamping is scheduled at 10.15AM on 11th May 2011. I reached embassy bu 9AM and been asked to get into queue which is outside of the embassy gate. After me one couple came with small kid. They have been pushed forward to entrance of the gate directly. Around 9.40AM I also entered into main building after security check. At entrance security informed to put cell phones in lockers of VFS. VFS building is in the opposite lane of embassy around 10meters away. After security check we need to enter into a queue where documents will be given which were submitted 4days before. They have PIMS OK stamp on it. Inside embassy we have a provision to take VISA format photos if required. After getting the document I entered into finger prints queue which took another 40 to 60mins. Then went for VISA waiting hall where got the token for VISA stamping. Got 135 & 136 tokens but at that spot token 60was running. Around 1hour later our token was called. Here are the questions.

L1 individual pink slip
I had my L1 blanket interview on jan 2010. It got rejected. That time i was asked the following questions.

1. What's your project?
2. How many are there in your team?
3. Why have you been selected to go to US?
4. What's your experience?
5. What's your degree?

Then the VO gave me a blue slip telling that they could not issue Visa at this time.

On May 2011 i reappeared for the interview under L1 Individual and the following were asked.

1. Who's your client?
2. What's you purpose of visit?
3. What software are you going to use?

Then the VO gave me a pink slip, after 20 days I received a mail that my Visa is processed

L1/L2 interview scheduled at Delhi
Due to some glitch my wife's L2 interview is scheduled at 8 am and my L1 interview is scheduled at 11 am same day. Can we request the people at consulate to allow my wife to take interview with me. As stamping a L2 application after the primary applicants interview just makes sense.Can anyone please help me with this.

Thanks,

L1A Approved @ Delhi
I went for L1A - Blanket at Delhi. Things went smootely. The key is to be confident and was keep eye contact with the VO officer. The guy before me was rejected, so all the more anxiety!

1) Why do you want to travel to the USA?
2) Your client name & location?
3) How long with ZZZ?
4) How long have you been in US before?
5) How many resources report into you?
6) Are you involved in their hiring and firing?
7) Personal questions like : Married? Which visa husband is in?
8) Brief description about the project that I lead?

After my 2nd question, he had started entering details into his machine, so I know I was true.. Other questions seemed to be a formality till all the paper work was done. Will get my Visa stamped in 2 days.

All the best to everyone and be confident while answering and maintain eye contact (the key)!
