Going to attend a H1B interview after L1 denial

[satya05]

Hi

My previous firm applied for an L1 an visa in 2010 and it got rejected.

Unfortunately I have lost the L1 rejection form and I am not sure what would be the rejected section they have ticked in the form.But I know it's saying some thing like it's not clearly approved.

I am going to attend a H1B visa in August.

My question is,Do I need to remember the exact section or denial reason for my interview ?

Also I would like to know what kind of questions they might ask about my previous attempt and how to answer those ?

Can anyone please tell me how to prepare for the interview ?

Thank you

Did you apply for the Visa at the consulate or did your employer just filed a petition for you? Neither will affect your H1B application. However, if the previous was Visa application at consulate, it must be mentioned as denial in your current application.

I am in the same boat like you. My employer filed for L1B petition for extension while I was in US but it got denied. In DS-160 there is a question like "Was your visa ever denied before....." - are you mentioning that as Yes and describing it was a petition rejection? I am thinking of doing the same also even though petition rejection is probably not same as visa rejection.

Only Visa denials need to be mentioned, petition denials need not be mentioned.
