Overall Experience -

I also observed other candidates being interviewed over there, and here are my personal observations on the overall process –

1. There were rejections for both L1 A and L1 B categories. May be these were the reasons, again this is my personal observation -
b. They were speaking too fast, or were trying to explain too much.
c. It looked they had mugged up the answers.
2. It seems salary and company do matter, seems Visa Officer (VO) checks what the company is about, and what is its reputation.
3. If possible interviewee should wear formal clothes.
4. Interviewee should explain to the point, and speak slowly and clearly.
5. Off course, he should look confident.
