L1B Individual - Fraud Detection fee of $500
My L1B Blanket visa was rejected in March 2018. My company applied for an individual petition under premium processing. USCIS issued an RFE to which we responded and eventually got the approval. I have scheduled my visa interview. Do I need to pay the "Fraud Prevention and Detection Fee" again in the consulate? Someone who recently went for an L1B individual interview after the blanket rejection please give some insight here.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Chennai Consulate - Helpful tips
Just had my interview for L1A renewal on August 3, 2018, some helpful tips:
1. The Consulate has completely banned phones and other electronics inside. Earlier, there used to be a booth which provided a a sort of locker. It has been removed. The auto drivers have jumped to 'help' people. They can keep your phone in the STD booth behind the consulate, but they charge INR 300-500, based on your negotiation skills.
2. No need to reach consulate more than 30 mins before the interview time. You will end up standing in the heat (or much worse in rain).
3. Stayed at Courtyard Marriott, which is very close to the consulate. Airport has a metro and Courtyard is the last station. Prefer metro to avoid traffic. Although all entrance are not opened yet, so you will have to cross the road.
4. Ola has a booth at Chennai Airport. Super easy to hail a taxi from Sangeet Restaurant outside the airport where Ola has a dedicated pick up.
5. Chennai Consulate accepts Credit card (Visa and Mastercard only). No need to carry demand draft. No debit cards though.
6. If you are L1 individual, you will get priority over others.
7. They will ask you to prepare 3 bunches of - 8 pages of I129, 1 page I797, stapled. So, prepare in advance to save time.
8. Inside the consulate, First line to verify document, 2nd line to make payment, 3rd line to wait for a free counter. 4th line in front of the consulate.

L1B APPROVED FROM CHENNAI CONSULATE (August 3rd 2018)
Thanks for the questions posted here, it really helps in preparation.
Background: 1 year and 2 years of experience in American MNC. Going to work to launch product and do R&D at parent org in the US. Caveat: My startup was acquired by MNC, so I mentioned my experience in relevant products was more than the time in company.
Questions asked:
1) Where in the US is the office located?
2) What is your specialization?
3) What are you going to do in the U.S?
4) Whats your U.S salary?
Visa is approved!
The VO was a lady and she was super sweet. The applicant in front me was applying for L1A, which she rejected but said she will give him L1B (WOW!) and approved that! Counter 30 I think, her demeanor made me confident that she would be fair in my case.

L-1A Individual - 221G Blue Slip
Friends, I must say I am the most unlucky guy on this forum. My L-1A Blanket was denied. Then my company filed L-1A Individual. I got an RFE. I somehow managed to clear the RFE, then I went for Visa Stamping. All the questions were straight forward which I correctly answered. Then out of the Blue, the VO asked for Client Letter. Since Client Letter is not required for L-1A Visas (Intra-company transfer) so my company had not given me the Client Letter. I politely told the VO that client letter was not provided by my company. VO issued me a 221G Blue slip asking me to submit the Client Letter in email and returned my and my dependents passports.
Can anyone advise me if there are any chances for getting the Visa after I send the Client Letter? Did anyone, else got 221G Blue slip for Client Letter for an L-1A Individual Petition? How much time it will take to get a decision after I submit the document? Please explain me the process. Thanks in Advance.

L1b experience
I had my L1b scheduled last week at Chennai consulate. Please keep in mind they only let you in 15 mins before your interview time. Once you get inside consulate, the entire process runs pretty smoothly. Here are the questions VO asked
1) Which company do you work for?
ans: YYYY (american multinational)
2) how long have you worked at YYYY ?
ans: 3 years 10 months
3) where would you be working in USA?
ans: YYYY , california?
4) Why xxxx, california?
ans: our R&D HQ is there
5) which project you are working on?
ans: only gave the name of the projects
6) Have you been to US before?
ans: yes
Then VO asked my spouse
7) when did you get married?
ans: she gave the answer
8) you have any kids?
ans: No
She smiled and said no rush.
By that time, she started stamping my I-129 petitions
9) whats you salary would be in US?
ans: 1xxxxx $
Then came the golden word "your visa is approved" and gave back 2 copies of I-129.
Just a piece of advice, don't try to eavesdrop on others' interviews. It never helps except making you more nervous. Always make eye contact and keep hand gestures to a minimum. Good luck!!!
