L1 Individual
Interview Time : 3:00 PM
Date : Last week
Interview Type : Individual L1

Hi friends,

This is the first time i am going to US consulate. My interview is on 3:00 PM i went there by 2:30 and got into the Consulate directly. There was a huge crowd in the consulate i got my appointment only by 5:00 PM. I saw a person in front of me who is rejected because of fake certificate. I have totally lost my confident. But fortunately they expect the word "proporatery" and more than 1 years in the relavent techincal aspect. If you stick on to that you are through.

They will try to corner you and check if you have were working more than 1 year in the properatory software that you have mentioned at the same time. make sure you carry the same word even in your onsite assignment. Thats it you are through.

All the best....

L1 Blanket
Hi guys.. this forum was really helpfull for my L1 blanket interview.

I attended visa interview today (aug 1st) at chennai consulate. It was a wonderfull experience. My appointment is at 11.15 am. i reached there by 10.30. There was not much of rush, so they asked me to enter the first buliding. my documents are verified by a officer and asked me to go to the visa lobby. I was waiting for 3 hours before entering the visa lobby.

For me VO was a lady. She stayed cool for all the applicants.

she asked me the following questions.

VO : How many years you are working for xxx company.?
ME : yyy yrs

VO : who is your client ? ( For L1, the applicant is not suposed to go to the client place. this question makes difference and be careful while answering this)
ME : I going to work for my parent comapny. Not for any client.

VO : What project you will be working ?
ME : xxx prorject

VO : Why you have been choosen ?
Me : blah blah

VO : What is your specialization ?
Me : .Net

VO : What will you do there ?
Me : support activites... etc.....

Finally the golden words
 
VO : Your visa is approved. Your passport will be sent to you after three days.
Me : thanks


Guys be cool and confident, visa is yours...

All the best...

Got L1 B after a long wait
Hi Guys,

I had my L1 Blanket interview in Chennai Consulate on 16th July 2007 at 11.30 am

I reached the consulate around 11.20 am was astonished to see such a huge queue as this is the first time I went to chennai for stamping.
Prior to this I went to Delhi for my B1 stamping but the crowd there was okay..
i stood in the queue for arround 1 hour after that they started calling the people having 11.30 appointment time to come in the front of the queue.
Again stood there for 40 minutes. after that 1 person from consulate came and told us that they are running 2 hrs late from the schedule so we can come back around 1.30 or so. beacuse 4 officers are sick today. and consulate is fully packed with people inside.

So I came back again at 1.30 and stood in the queue. finally 1 person came and allowed all the 11.30 applicants to get in.

Around 8 counters were there where I submitted my all the documents.
Then within 30 mins or so we were allowed to go into the second building where the VO were sitting. there we got our folders back with visa fees reciept.

Again a long queue for finger print. Oh God...I got fed up of all these Q's.
After giving our finger print finally the last queue of the day we were into. The Q for final processing.

again after standng 1 hour in the Q I was finally in front of the VO.
I greeted the VO.

Now come the questions asked by VO.
1. What project u are going to work in US?
:- Explained my project with the details of the clients.

(VO was listening to my answer as well as writing some thing on the docs given by me)

2. How long u have been working with his company?
:- N yrs.

3. How long u have been working with this client?
:=- N months.

Thats it.

After this he said people have to wait here for such a long time for a very little process.

And there he starting returning the extra copies of my docs.
And with that he returned my passport also.

OH GOD I was shocked at that moment.

Then suddenly he said sorry and asked me to give my passport back to him.....

Finally he said you'll get your passport in 5 days.

I really enjoyed that moment.

I only thing which i noticed there thru out the whole process is you need to be cool confident and prepared for all sort of questions related to your work.
And at the end of the day it also depends upon your luck and the mood of VO.

The VO sittind adjacent to my VO was asking to many ques and also rejected few applications.

So go well prepared guys and pray to god that u get a good VO.

Thanks alot to all teh people for posting their exp here as tehy helped me alot to prepare a mindset and expected ques for interview.

Thanks alot and best of luck to all

L1-Visa blanket issued {earlier 221 (g)}
Hi Folks,
I am back (check my post earlier). I have now got the L1-blanket visa issued to me. Earlier last week I was issued a 221(g) form as I was not carrying my BEP cover letter and folder. Anyways now few tips for 221 (g) form holders:
1. If you have 221(g) form issued and you go for interview then you dont have to stand in the appointment line outside the embassy. You can directly go inside (mind you dont come before 09:30am as 10-12noon is the time for 221(g) form holders).
2. Hand-over all your required papers (as mentioned on 221(g) form) at one of the windows inside.
3. You dont have to appear for the finger prints again (if your finger prints are already taken).
4. Your name would be called and your folder would be handed over and you would then appear infront of Visa Officer (VO).

My experiance at the interview yesterday:
1. VO: How many years you have been working for MNO?
ME: x yrs.

2. VO: What would you do in US?
ME: explained about job profile

3. VO: questions me about my company products (something like this is not your product this is product of ORACLE, etc)?
ME: Sorry sir this is our product and its been our proprietery for last n years.

BASICALLY ABOVE QUESTION IS TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT U R COMPANY PRODUCT, THE VO TRIES TESTS YOUR CONFIDENCE, SO PLZ BE CONFIDENT ABT YOUR COMPANY PRODUCTS and DONT AGREE WITH THE VO JUST FOR VISA SAKE.

4. VO: Again asks about some other Company product?
ME: I am certified in this product and this is used for X reason and it is our product.

THEN THE VO TAKES HIS TIME TO VERIFY THE DOCUMENTS AND THEN HE SAYS: SIR YOU CAN GO HOME YOUR VISA/PASSPORT WOULD BE COURIERED.

BY THE WAY I HAD MY WIFE ALSO WITH ME APPLYING FOR L2 and SHE WAS NOT ASKED a SINGLE QUESTION.

BOTTOM LINE: BE CONFIDENT, PREPARED WITH ALL REQUIRED DOCS, RESUME, STUDY THE JOB PROFILE and DONT WORRY U WOULD GET IT.

Thanks to all on the forum who have posted their experiance.

L1-B visa with 221(g) at Chennai
Hi All,
I had a interview today (for L1-B blanket) and I got a green 221(g), the reason was I was a BEP candidate and i did not have BEP Cover letter and folder. So I decided that I to share my experiance with other so that all of you who are appearing under BEP dont miss any documents and get a 221(g).

So now I need to re-appear with all the documents either on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thur. Nothing to panic just be confident and be prepared for the questions on this forum (this forum is very helpful). So Folks my adivce is dont miss any documents, check with your companies travel desk if they manage the visa for all docs.

I had a small query, can someone tell me that after getting 221(g) is it required to again go thru the process of standing in the line, finger-prints, etc or is it like you just get all your documents and go the interviewer directly?

All the best to everyone appearing for the interview.

L1 Blanket, 09th July, Chennai Consulate
Hi All,

Let me thank ppl for sharing their experiences as a result of which i got my VISA approved.

My PA was scheduled on July 09, 1245 hrs. But my turn came at 1615 hrs. The officer was cool and didn't drill so much. Here goes my interview...

Me: Good afternoon sir, How r u?
Officer: Good afternoon. I m good. How u doin?
Me: I'm doing good.
Officer: How long have u been working for this YYYY company?
Me: For x yrs and y months.
Officer: How long u have been on tis project?
Me: Right from the beginning i'm in this project only.
Officer: Who is ur clinet?
Me: xxx
Officer: Where from u'll be working. Is it client location?
Me: No its not client location. Its my parent company location. ---> Pls make a note L visa is inter-company transfer. So with this visa u can't work at client location.
Officer: Why r u going onsite?
Me: Since the client business is expanding... blah blah blah...
Officer: <Typing something on machine>
Officer: Ur visa is aproved.

So the end point is that be prepared for all the questions shared on this forum. Keep a kool head. Listen carefully to their questions. use ur wit and answer with confidence. The visa will be urs.
Ppl with L1 Balnket petition, pls be prepared for a common question, "What special skill u have which is not available in US".
Good luck...
