Hi,
I got the L1B rejection on 5th of March. My petition was filed under L1B blanket. I have more than 8 years of exp and working with the company since 8 years. I am mainly having experience as Middleware Infrastructure Analyst on IBM product stack. Mainly on WebSphere portal and WebSphere Application Server. I went with my family (wife and a baby) for L1/L2.
The VO asked me to show the original I-797 and the offer letter from the sponsor company. Then he asked me to wait for sometime and told me that one of his colleagues will call me again. I waited for almost 1 and half hour and then came the token number again. He asked me below questions.
What is your indian Salary?
Ans : ZZZ
What would be your salary in US?
Ans : ZZZ
Will you be working on the client site?
Ans : No. I would be working for xxx Inc.
What is your specialization?
Ans: Explained. (Looks like it was too technical for him) He asked me to explain in simpler terms..I did that.
Is this websphere tool developed by you or your company?
Ans: No. It's an IBM product.
Then comes the verdict : "Sorry Sir, we can not approve you visa in this category, you may want to ask you HR to file it in some other category." He mentioned "Not Clearly Approvable" on my I-129s and give me back two copies of it. I have not received any pink/blue/while slip or any 221(g) form with specific details.
Not sure what went wrong. Now what could be the possible alternates for me here? Should I file H1B or L1 individual? How can I improve my chance of getting visa again?
Appreciate any help or suggestions.
