L1B blanket denied, L1B individual applied - Looking for guidance

[Rahul942]

Hi,

I was recently denied L1B blanket visa and my company has applied for an L1B individual visa for me. The petition is approved and my interview is scheduled for next week. Looking for guidance on what I should expect from the interview. Will I be asked why was my visa rejected. As per my understanding, VO was not able to understand my answer for specialized skill, how should I explain this?

For the rejected L1B blanket visa, I was not explained anything, just given the sheet and NCA remark written on my application.

Looking for any guidance and your experiences in similar situations.

Thanks

I don't think the L1 blanket denial will cause any issue. did you apply for the L1B individual right after the L1B blanket denial or after a few months?
During the covid period, my L1A extension was denied, but I immediately re-applied and get the petition approved. It didn't cause any issue in the visa interview.
