Approval of L1A & L2
Hi All,

I had my PAI for L1A & L2 scheduled on 26-08-08 @ 9:00 am, we reached there just before half hour around 8:30 am, a security personal has check our documents and ask us to go in, as soon as we went in we have finished our security check & finger prints just within 15 minutes, now its 9:20 am we took our token and seat there to wait for our tern, within next ten min around 9:32 we got announcement for our token number, here is our tern now.


VO: What will be your post is usa
VO: What is your post in India
VO: Brief about history & future plan of your company
VO: How long you are working with this company
VO: Why they call you in US instead of selecting any other candidates of your company
VO to my Wife: how long you get married
VO to my Wife: do you have child..?
they have not check any of my documents

then she told sir, your visa are granted you will get your stamped passport within 7 working days, to my surprised i get my passport next day (today) at 10am at my home address. the whole thing from standing in line to finishing of interview went completed just within one hour.

Here are some of my observations & tips to them who are going to attend the interview..

1.Be very much cool and confident, they are really really very cooperative, they are just doing their duty while asking you questions randomly
2.Read DS156,157 very carefully they will mostly ask you questions from it
3.learn your job profile & duty by heart they will ask you this questions 100%
4.answer clearly so they can understood you meaning don't use confusions language and don't get stop while you are answering
5.if you don't understand their question ask them to repeat the questions they don't mind it
6.make your eye contact with VO with small & professional smile
7.wear very decent clothes, make sure you are going to attend interview at US embassy you are not going to party, your decent external looks is positive sign
8.they might questioning you very fast but make sure don't hesitate, ans in your regular speed without going fast as them as they have to attend all candidates but you have to ans only few questions they may change of missing some word while you going fast
9.go one day before to mumbai and visit the embassy if you are new to mumbai so that you can make your perfect schedule for the day of interview

Thats it man. be honest, be decent, be confident and VISA is yours..

feel free to contact me if in case anybody need any help..

Approved Individual L-1B/L2
Hi guys,
 Thanks a lot for who all have posted their experieces. Its really worthful. Today I went with my wife and son for L-1B and L2. 2 months back, my Blanket L-1B got rejected and hence we filed individual thru premium processing. VO did not ask me any questions. She asked me
1. Did u apply earlier on Blanket?
   I said Yes
2. What are you going to do in USA?
   I will be working for my xxxx wherein I will eb involved in testing activities.

She later talked with my son who is just 5.5 months old and said that she is approving our visa. Before my interview, the same VO was interviewing a candidate for L-1B and posed "what is your specialization?" which is quite common question for L-1B applicants. But the candidate replied saying that "I will be using Java, Oracle and VB". We should not say as such. VO posed the same question thrice and finally said that she is being rejected. So guys, be careful. Say that you will be either implementing your companies properitary tools or methods. All the best for you all.

L1 Blanket approved
Hi
   My L1-B got approved on 21Aug.My appointment was at 8:15am.I reached the consulate by 7:20 itself.To my surprise the security person outside the consulate asked me to stand in the line for entering.

First the security persons inside cheked whether we are carrying the mobile phones or the sealed covers.Then the Prescreening..there we need to give our finger prints.Then I moved to the next building where the interview happens. Before I went for the interview I paid the DD in one of the counters. Then I was interviewed.

While I was standing in the queue before the interview I noticed a VO who approved all the VISAs which came to him.Luckily I went to him for my interview.

The VO asked me the following questions.
VO:Good Morning
VO:How long you are working for YYYY ?
VO:Who is your client?
VO:How long you are working with this client?
VO:What are you going to do in US?
VO:Who has developed this project is it the client or your company?
VO:Thankyou.....


Meanwhile he started signing in the documents and then said that my VISA is approved and I will be getting the passport within 5 working days.

I would suggest all to be not to panic during interview.

L1B - Individual Approved
Hi
My L1B Individual got approved on 14th Aug. I had my appointment at 12:15 and I reached at 12:00 PM. As the no of people were less, the VO was sitting in the same building next to the VFS people. He had already rejected an applicant for fake documents when my turn came. He asked me :
1) How long have you been working with YYYY ?
2) What are you going to do in US?

I replied to both the answers and then he reviewed my Passport for some time and then came the golden words...your visa is issued !!

I would suggest that please be calm while answering the questions and dont panic.

All the best .
