L1B Blanket Approved
Hi, I attended the inteview few weeks back, but was not able to post my experience immediately, so doing it now. First I would like to thank this website as it helped me a lot in preparing for the interview. I have given the interview questions below.

Me) Good morning sir
VO) no answer. (Dont get tensed when this happens, just concentrate on the interview).
Vo) Why are you going to the US?
Me) To work on YYYY project.
VO) Explain about the project.
Me) I explained the project (without going in to the technicalities, just the functionalities).
VO) What is your specialized skill?
Me) Talk about your domain and technical skills.
VO) how long you have been with the company?
Me) 3 years
VO) How long you have been with the client?
Me) 3 years
VO) your visa is approved.
Me) Thanks.

A few suggestions -
Your answers must be short and up to the point. If you dont understand VO's question, ask him/her to repeat it.
The VO may not be looking at you, but look at his/her face always and answer the questions.
Even if you dont have a perfect answer for a question, keep your cool and answer confidently.
Prepare well for the two main question , your specialization and why you were selected from your team.
All the very best to everyone.

L1B visa experience
I was tensed going into the interview hearing cases of L1B being rejected because of too many travels & longer duration of travels on B1 visa.
Everyone in front of me on the counter was asked the same introductory questions: have you traveled to US before? on which visa and how long was the duration of stay - I answered these questions in calm by providing approximate duration and not specific ones. The rest of questions were regarding specialization, how many people have the same specialization, pay in US and the reporting manager.

L1B - Approved , L2 - Approved (stamping pending due to Damaged Passport) @ HYD
Hi,
 Ours is a different experience and very few will under go this.
My wife has applied for L1B and myself on L2.
We got our interview in Hyderabad consulate on May 10th.
Our interview time was at 8:15Am, we reached the place around 7:15 AM.
No Parking place near Hyd Consulate so better plan your self well in advance. Better be early as People won’t enter / stand as per the timings…don’t panic even if you are late they will allow you. If you have kids (you are blessed) no waiting time in the line you can pass through the first security gate directly.
After First security check there will be 2 lines inside the Consulate (1.) To the BEP counter – If you have to collect the docs / DD incase if your company has submitted it. 2). Line 2 if you are carrying all the docs by your self - Security will guide you )
Note:- Please don’t go with full khajana (Specially for ladies – bangles, jewels’ etc) – They will make you to remove in the security check in Gate 2.
After security check you have to get in and they will guide to the counter no ..we went to counter no 8 and gave the DD and docs , he gave a receipt for the same and guided us to go to counter 9.
After collecting the same you have to give the finger prints and need to collect the Token no in the waiting area and wait for your token no.
Here comes the main interview by VO.
VO :- Hi, Good Morning , How are you doing.
Me:- Good Morning mam..thnx ..how are you doing today ?
VO :- Good..thnx, How long have you been working with the current Company ?
Me :- 39 Months.
Vo:- What is your Role
Me :- Explained about my role.
Vo:- Who is your client.
Me :- YYYY X
Vo:- How long have you been working with the client.
Me :- 36 Months.
Vo:- What are your specialized skills
Me :- xxxxxx
Vo:- How many people are working on this.
Me.:- YYYY X

L2 – Husband ( Myself).
Vo:- How long have you been married ?
Me :- 6 Months
VO :- Love marriage / Arranged marriage ?
Me :- Arranged and then love marriage … with a smile.
VO :- hahahaha…&#61514;
Then comes the golden words …. Ma’m your Visa is approved and Sir your visa is also approved but we can’t allow you to US as your Passport lamination has come out.. so it’s a damaged passport please come back with new passport and go to VFS center and apply for the same. No need to come for the interview again..its already approved.
Points to be noted :-
1) Don’t Panic through out the process.. be cool.
2) Always smile don’t be tensed
3) Answer straight to the point and specially for people applying for L1 tell that you are the only one in your company on the specialization skill.
4) Good body language as VO keep looking at the others in the Line behind you.
5) MAKE SURE YOUR PASSPORT IS IN A GOOD CONDITION. ( If a bit of lamination has come out at the end better try to fix it better you go to the interview other wise they will reject as it is a damaged passport)
6) Special Note for Bangalore based applicants no TATKAL Passport if your passport is damaged / LOST
ALL THE BEST.

Regards,
Ram.
