L1B Individual visa stamping interview

[kanisingar]

Hello,
I have my L1B individual visa appointment in 3 days (approved Emergency appointment). I had an L1B blanket visa rejection in Feb 2020 and then filed for individual visa which got approved post an RFE. What are the questions I should be prepared for? What are the chances of receiving a 221G now?

Consulate location: Chennai, India

Hi. All the best for your interview. Please let know how was the interview and questions asked. I have scheduled L1 interview later this month and it will be of great help. These are the Q shared by my attorney:

1. Explain your role
2. How many other employee in your firm have the same skillset as you possess
3. How long have you been with your firm.

Did you get an email from the consulate stating your L1B appointment is ‘approved emergency appointment’? Or how it was confirmed as emergency? Thx

Getting an visa based upon an approved individual petition is pretty easy & chances are pretty high for approval.

However in current situation - its difficult to guess anything. Just stay confident & appear for the interview (if embassies are open now for new visa).

It was pretty simple. They asked questions about salary, location, years of experience, role and that was it.

Yes, you will get an approval email from no-reply@ustraveldocs.com and you can then schedule an appointment. I got mine over 3.5 months after I requested for the appointment

I had to go to two VO counters since they weren't super familiar with L1 individual visa process. Questions were pretty basic-
- Salary
- Location
- Number of years in US
- Previous travel and why
- Job title and role

They said they're processing it fairly quickly and I should get my passport within the week.

That is a sugar candy IMO. Super quick and no hassle. Good Luck!
