HI All,

Thanks a lot to this site, which helped me a lot in preparation for the PA.

I had my interview at 07:45, reached the conculate at 07:00, joined the queue by 07:15.
This was the first day in Chennai they had introduced token system, so there was some chaos everywhere.

First I had my interview confirmation letter and appointment letter checked along with my passport and then a token number slip was attached to my passport.
Then I Had my security check and then enetered the consulate.
Next was to get my finger prints scanned, for this we had to go the coumter where our token number was displayed. went to my counter and got my fingers scanned and got my documents checked. The person at the counter asked me to go the next building and deposit my DD.
I went to the next building, and gave the DD to the lady there, she asked me to write my name and passport no. at the back of the DD.

After that I was aksed to wait till my token no. was displayed in any of the counters where the PA was going on. There were counters from 17 - 23 and in each counter there was a display showing the token nos who will be interviewd in that counter and the ppl with those token no.s where asked to stand in that particular queue.

My token no. was not dsipalyed on any of the counters and I was asked to sit and just check if I my token no appears in any of the counters.
One counter was closed and did not have VO there. After 10 mins mine and one more guys token nos. appeared in that counter and VO came there.

The other guy was called first, since his toekn no was previous to mine. He got his visa approved and I was called next.

me : Good Morning Mam,
VO : Did not reply and asked to place my right middle finger on the scanner present there.I had some difficulty in hearing her, so asked her to repeat it. Then I placed my finger on the scanner.
Then she asked for my document
Me: Passed the documents
VO: How many years of experience do u have ?
Me: X years and Y Months
VO: all with same XYX company?
Me: yes Mam
VO: How long you have been working with this client
Me: XY Months
VO: What do you do for this client?
Me: Explained my responsibilities
VO: Whats your specialisation?
Me: XYZ
VO: how long you have been using this?
Me: More than XY years
VO: explain me abt it
Me: I explained what it is and how it is used in my project.

Then after a pause I tried continuing to say more abt it, but VO interrupted saying "We are done". After that she signed two copies of my I-129 and returned it along with my i-797 copies.

I was a bit nervous, but explained abt my specialisation with confidence. Try to be calm and wait till the PA completes the question. If you are not clear with the question , ask her to repeat the question.

VO: how many are there in the account
ME: YYYY
VO:hmmm... i don't see any specialised skills, please aslk your company to process L1 regular for you.
Me: Thank you

Listen to the Questions carefully till it completes and be sure what you say.Don't panic, be confident.

Before i went to the VO, 5 are rejected so lost confident and after 1st question i fully lost and came to know i may not able to make it.

Applied for L1 Regular, Hope i make it this time.

was on 9th - Simple Questions?
1>which was your previous company
3>How much year of total experience
2>Why you
4>What is your project
5>What technology
6>So many people on this technology then why only you?

This was a tricky question. Lucky me I was able to convince her but while answqering the last question at some point I though I lost it. ;-)

My advice try avoiding any technology, language names unless inevitable.

Well I must say luck plays a vital role but so does your confidence.

Best of luck guys.

L1B Blanket approved
Hi ,

I appeared for the L1B Blanket visa interview today at Chennai consulate.
Questions asked :
1. How long with this company
2. What did you previous to this company
3. What do you do for this company
4. How can you say this is specialised skill set ? This is quite a vast field .

Visa approved !

I guess 4th question is the decider for all L1B Blanket petitions . The VO will drill you till he is satisfied . For all future applicants , I would suggest be thoroughly ready for this question .

L1 Blanket Visa approved at Mumbai
Hi All,

First of all I would like to thank the moderator of this site. It gave me an immense help in preparing for the interview.

This was my experience during the i'view

Me : Hi,Good Morning Mam
VO : No Response

VO : So you belong to xyz company
Me : Yes

VO : How much experience with the current organization
Me : 13 months

VO : How long you are going to stay in US
Me : 11 months

VO : Is this an existing project
Me : Yes

VO : How long you have been working on this project?
Me : From 6 months

VO : What is your project about?
Me : My project is namely Call Resolution at the earliest which is about an agent who tries his best to answer the customer calls and has to resolve the customer issue in the 1st call itself and achieve the maximum customer satisfaction.

VO : What is your role in this project?
Me : I am involved in designing and implementing Business Intelligence solution for my client abc by developing interactive grid reports and dashboards.

VO : This seems to be your daily job. What are you specialised for?
Me : (I was almost cold with this question. Did not have much hope that it would get approved. Continued to maintain eye contact with the VO and expained again in the best possible ans) I expained that I have the banking domain knowledge and have been providing BI solutions from 4 years and 4 months. I have in depth Application, domain and technical knowledge to implement this project and so I am specialised.

VO seemed to be little convinced and she started signing I 129.

She stared into my eyes and was suggesting me to leave. However I was still not sure if it was approved or not. Later VO said "Its done". I was on the top of the world.

Left the consulate and was jumping outside.

My advice would be to always try to maintain eye contact with the VO. Dont feel shy to explain in detail if required. You may not be so confident but try to improve your english and feel free to talk to them. Communication should be flawless.

I am sure it will get approved.

Hope this helps all the guys who are waiting for their i'views.

L1A visa - passport from different consulate region
As I was deputed to Kolkata, attended PA there. As my passport contains chennai address,I was bit afraid,filled each & every details in the application very carefully. Prepared a lot for the interview and went with a manager look and Tie. But the interview was smooth.

VO: Hello.. (with a smile)
Me: Hello,Goodmorning! (with a smile)

VO: Where you are travelling?
Me: xxxx City, CA.

VO: How long you have been to UK?
Me: 6months.

(VO faced some computer issues while uploading my details.)
VO: There are some computer problems, pls give me a minute.
Me: It's Ok.
VO: ..... Yep, now it's working fine.

VO: Do you have the deputation letter?
Me: Yes, please... (I gave the letter)
VO: Ok.. (returned back)

VO: Is your family not coming with you?
Me: As my kid is small,they will join me later.

Then comes the Golden words,
VO: Ok,your visa is approved.
Me: Thank you!!(I felt, flying in the air...)
He returned back all my papers except passport.

Suggestion: Be very clear in filling the details in PRD and DS160. Expect that all the possible questions / proofs might be asked and be ready accordingly. Then you will be confident.
