L1B Individual petition approved
Hi All,

My L1B Individual petition was approved on 9th August 2019 under premium processing. I have booked the appointment but my attorney has yet not received the approved petition letter from USCIS. Its more than a month now.
Is someone else in the same boat? Is there a way to find out where the document is, any helpline or email alias to get update on the status of document?

L1B RFe received
Hi,

L1B RFE response is received by USCIS. In addition to that, my husband’s employer started premium processing and it’s more than 15 calendar days (almost 45 days) now. Also the overall 240 days after extension filing is also going to get over very soon.

Employer raised the case enquiry and no response came yet from USCIS

Anyone faced this situation or what can be do for next steps.

9-11 Response and Biometric Entry-Exit Fee of $4,500
Hello All,

My case is blanked L1 A application.
Can anyone guide me as to when is the 9-11 Response and Biometric Entry-Exit Fee of $4,500 required to be paid? I work with a German MNC and am being transferred to USA.
Even in USA that total workforce for my company exceeds 20K and I dont think that more than 10% of these would be H1/L1 visa based employees.

Has anyone been asked to produce a Demand draft for this amount before?
My VISA interview is on Thursday 19th Sep

Regards
Nitin Reja

L1 B approved
Time:11:30AM
Entered inside the US Consulate

Somebody will be there to help you arrange documents for L1 category

After arranging Documents then Went inside the US consulate and waiting in the line for the 500$ receipt

Then used my credit card to pay Anti-Fraud fee of 500$

Then moved to verfy the finger prints at counter 16A/B

Then waited for my interview. I was so nervous because all the L1 category were mostly getting rejected at that time.

My turn came then

Me: Good Afternoon Mam
VO: Good afternoon

VO: So you are applying for L1B category
Ans: Yes Mam

VO: What is the offered salary in US
Ans: Told YYYY $

VO: How long you have been with the company
Ans: 4 Years

VO: What is you specialization ?
Ans: I have an expertise on my company's tools and its technologies and blah blah

VO: Oh so you work on YYYY process related technologies
Ans: Yes Mam

VO: What were your assigments in the initial phase when you joined your company?
Ans: blah blah blah in 2 lines maximum

VO: So you are going to work in the same company
Ans: Yes Mam

VO: Where is your company office in US
Ans: California

VO: Do you have any dependents?
Ans: No

VO: I am approving your case, have a good luck with your new job
Ans: Thank you mam

It lasted for 2-3 minutes and for your kind information, I am into testing and my propsed job also in testing. So its a myth that for testing its hard to get L1B approved.

All i observed is your company name, Offered Salary and domain you work in

I can help if anyone wants to discuss anything

I oversee 16 people. As part of day to day activies of my team, I will be approving and reviewing the Project design, schedules and estimates.
I have to plan and create strategies for my project which constitues revenue worth of 1 million $. As a Profit and Loss owner, I am working on the costing and staffing requirements to meet the time and budget deliverables.
I will be conducting bi weekly meetings with xxx Project team and stakeholders, Present monthly metrics reports and quarterly steering committee reports to client leadership team.

Questions to my spouse:
What is your highest degree.?
How long did you married. ?

Overall experience is good. I went with family, spouse and 1 kid (1 and half years).I was expecting to skip the queue due to infant(as per the previous experience in Mumbai location) and directly face the VO officer, but need to wait for my number to come up. Hence, be prepared if you are going with family.

Wore the blazer and formals for the interview.

They will look for your body language and how you justify your roles and responsibilities. Your direct reportee count also matters I guess.

Best luck.!!!
