L1A Blanket not approved on March 14 2019- VO issued 221G.
Hello All,
Today I had my L1A Blanket Interview and not approved, would like to share my experience,
I went with my family, submitted triplates of I-129S, 797 and Ds 160 appointment receipt with my passport.
Vo asked 6 questions i answered them all,
1. What is your company name?
YYYY
2. Why do you travel to USA and your job duties there?
Explained the reason for my transfer and my roles, duties.
3. What is your Salary?
YYYY
4. What is your office location?
YYYY
5. Will you work in client location or anywhere else?
I mentioned my location would be my parent company because its product base company not in client location.
6. How many direct report you have?
I mentioned its 3.
After All, VO issued form 221g saying your visa is not clearly approvable, i'm completely shocked and disappointed because - all my documents in terms of total experience, current company experience in India location, all are upto the mark including my US proposed salary. But i'm not sure what went wrong for the rejection.
VO not taken some time to verify my letters from my company/attorney (the letter to support the petition, G 28, or org charts or any other documents which i carried).
He not looked at my I-129S and nor asked any questions to my spouse. He only viewed Ds 160 online in the system, asked above mentioned questions and keep typing!
Finally he said not cleary approvable.
I believe more than documents, talents we carry it also depends on some luck. My discussion was only went for 5 minutes, how the decision made by VO in that 5 minutes.(also dont know if it was already decided).
:-( Now what i should do next!
Is there something can turn positive with the help of company after receiving 221g ?
Do I need to go for individual petition, what is the success rate for individual petition?
Do I need to ask my company to process for Individual petition?
I'm trying to recover from this incident to make myself more stronger.
Thank You everyone for the support and suggestions provided in this forum.
All the best for others......

H1 to L2 conversion max stay allowed inquiry
I'm currently on L2 visa converted from H1B. I've worked 5.5 years using my H1 visa before I changed my status to L2. I have been working for another 1.5 years using my L2 with a valid EAD. Since I didn't max out my maximum stay allowed (6 years) with my H1B, what happens now to my maximum stay allowed of 6 years? Did it reset my clock given that I've spent more than a year as L2?

L1-A Individual Interview Experience
Hi All,
I recently gave my L1-A Individual Interview in Hyderabad Location and wanted to share my experience with all of you. I would like to start by thanking the Forum for helping me prepare for the interview in a confident manner. Kudos to all of you.
I attended the interview with my Family Wife and Daughter and it really helped. The VO was asking lot of questions to the guys who are infront of me. She interviewed three candidates and rejected all of them. My wife got really nervous looking at the way the VO was asking questions.
When my turn came i went ahead and wished her and she responded by wishing back and talking to my daughter in a playful way. The entire atmosphere changed as she started talking to my daughter.
Questions Asked to me :
Q) How many years have you worked with your employer ?
Q) What is your highest Qualification ?
Q) What are you going to do in the US ?
Q) How many people report to you ?
Questions Asked to my wife :
Q) Since How long are you married ?
Questions Asked to my Daughter:
Q) Whats your name ?
Q) Who is your Dad ?
Q) Who is your mom ?
And then she said my case is approved :)
I some how felt that after the first two questions the VO is convinced as she did not even hear the later responses properly.
One key take away is that to be confident and start the interview in a right way. All the candidates in front of me started in in a wrong way and that carried on till they completed the interview. I feel that small things like wishing the VO, making a conversation (About any topic like weather etc) will help the candidates immensely.
Thanks & Regards,
Ven

L1 to L2 conversion while in the US
Hello All,
I have a L1B visa (with Employer A valid until 2020) and I am currently employed in the US. Can anyone advise me of the below:
1. Is there an option for me to convert my L1B visa to L2 visa as a dependent to my spouse who is on L1B visa (with Employer B valid until 2022) while I am working in the US.
2. How long will the process to convert from L1B to L2 usually take. Can I continue to work on L1B status until then.
3. Can I apply for L2 change of status and EAD in parallel.
4. What happens to my L1B visa when my L2 change of status is approved.
5. Are there any chances for my L2 visa request to get rejected.
Thanks in advance.

Need clarity on Passport Back Side Barcode Sticker "Mentioned as L1B"
Hello
Would like to know what is the L1B means in the passport backside part of barcode sticker?
During biometrics in VAC, officer pasted this sticker after the finger prints scanning.
I applied for L1A blanket but the sticker contains "L1B" what does it really mean is that something related to Visa type or it is just alphabet "B" mentioning it is L1 Blanket Visa
Thank You.
