i completed VAC in Hyderabad a week before interview date.
Quick snippet of my interview:

VO : Good Morning with a smile on face. thank You.
VO : Hans over your Passport
Me : Gave passport and three sets of I-129s, DS-160 & I-797 copy. (You will be asked to put these docs in this sequence before you enter the visa interview counter)
VO : What visa are you applying for
Me : L1-B Blanket Visa

ME : Told XYZ Company name (Reputed MNC and Fortune 500)
VO : where are you going to work?
ME : Salt Lake City, Utah
VO : What is your Annual Salary
ME : Told my Annual salary
VO : What are you going to do there?
ME : I’m responsible for Developing and Implementing complex configuration solutions to my company’s proprietary tools and subsidiary software applications and debug issues reported by clients. (This is an extract from support letter).
VO : How long have you been working for your company?
ME : 5.9 years
VO : Have you been to US before?
ME : Yes
VO : what visa were you in US before?
ME : F-1 student visa
VO : which university & city
ME : Told
VO : Have you worked on OPT (Optional Practical Training)?
ME : Yes
VO : What was the time gap between graduation and OPT job start date
ME : two months ( I got a full time job)
VO : Typed something for about 30 seconds in system
VO : Gave me a blue slip 221(g) stating visa need to go through Application Processing. Also, gave me a case number for tracking the status. (Also, VO retained/kept my passport and I-129 copies)
ME : Just curious, Does that mean my visa is denied?
VO : No, it just need to go through AP.
ME : How long would it take for completing AP?
VO : About a week and a half
ME : Thank You Officer. You have a good day
VO : You too!!
So, what are the chances of approval in this case?. I did not had any law violation records or DUI tickets or was not illegally present during my F1 visa status.
in worse case scenario, what are the options if the visa is denied?
please share your thoughts.
