CEAC Status "Administrative Processing" after Visa approval
Hi All,

Yesterday(24th September, I along with my wife and two kids) appeared for L1 visa interview at the Mumbai Consulate. Visa interview went well. I was told by VO that my visa is approved and I will receive my passport in 2-3 days. No 221(g) was given to me.

Today(25th Sep) I checked my visa status on CEAC website(https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker) and my status was "Administrative Processing".

I am surprised why status is Administrative Processing when VO clearly said that my visa is approved.

It would be great if someone can share experience related with admin processing after visa approval by VO.

This uncertainty is driving me nuts.

Many thanks in advance.

L1A Blanket rejected- Management Consultant
Hi All,

I am unsure if this topic has been covered before but here goes.

My firm, a global management consulting firm, applied for an L1A Blanket visa for me. I have spent over 3 years with the firm and got a promotion but as is the case with all consulting firms, I do not have direct reports and do not manage a budget. My role in my previous career, ironically, had both requirements but as a consultant I do not. However, my immigration lawyers felt it was the right visa to apply for and not L1B.

My interview was in August and my application was rejected. At first i thought there was something wrong with the way i gave the interview, but with time i started to feel the visa they applied for was incorrect given my role.

My firm has now agreed to apply through individual and will commence the process shortly. Before i invest any further time, I was hoping to get a few answers from this seasoned audience on the following:

1. Should i apply for L1B individual or stick with L1A itself
2. For those management consultants in the audience who have successfully applied through L1A, could they please share their experience in terms of application and what all details they shared while building the application
3. In general, is there any further documentation that you should share while filing an individual petition
4. If you do get an RFE, what additional documents do you share with USCIS

Looking forward to hearing your responses. Thanks.

Me - Spelled out the titles

VO - Does any manager report to you?
ME - Yes

VO - To whom do you report to?
Me - Director

VO - To whom does he report to?
ME - CIO

VO - To whom does the CIO report to?
Me - CEO

VO - Will you be reporting to the same Manager?
Me - Yes

VO - How many people are there in your company with your Title
Me - Just me in my function, Overall we should probably be having more than 100 people with my Title since our company is large and present in 32 countries.

VO - Will the same set of people will continue to report to you even when you got to US?
Me - Yes, however we are planning to expand the team globally

VO - Is this the first time you are applying for Visa?
Me - No I have been to US on B1 and on H1B showed him my last stamping

VO - I am typing your Visa
Me - OK

VO - Visa is approved
Me - Thank you.

There is no separate appointment needed for Bio metrics in KL all done on the same day and the staff in embassy will help organize your papers.

Overall I think just be confident and explain your role well and also do not hesitate to talk about future team building when applying for Managerial visa. Having indirect reports also helps to make the case stronger, but not necessary. Hope this helps.

L1b blanket - forgot to pay visa fee -visa approved
Hello,

Friends its a bit strange story, I forgot to pay 4,500$ visa fee. If anyone has faced or know what to do please help me.
Today i was having L1b interview at 9Am.
I went inside US consulate. arranged the 3 set of documents. Then i paid fraud prevention fee of 500$.
Then went for interview, she just asked 3 questions(I will post the questions& ans separately). Then she told your visa is approved. I was very happy and i asked is there anything else i need to do. She told thats all. I came out of office. after coming out and after 5min i realized, was she not supposed to ask me visa fee(remaining 4500$)? :S i also forgot to ask them , offcourse i was carried away with visa approved word.
Then i went back to US consulate office and off-course i tried to explain them my situation at entrance to let me go inside to pay the visa fee, i was not having passport also with me as i gave it inside for stamping. They didnt let me in and i came back home.
Friend plz let me know what i can do now, She told i will get passport in 3days.
How do i pay the amount now?
Incase if i dont get to know how to pay the amount in 2-3 days and if i get my passport with visa in 3days,what should i do and what would happen in future?
