Hi All,

My wife attended L2 interview at Chennai counsulate on 27th-Mar-2012.
VO asked my wife's educational qualifications and gave her Pink 221G receipt and asked her to go to another counter.

There the Indian officer requested to send an email of my wife's Resume, and told that VISA is currently on hold, she will receive her VISA once the their Admin process is done.

I have forwarded her resume to the mentioned mailID: chennaisao@state.gov and the current status in the site is "SEND INFORMATION"

Kindly let me know if you havd any experience in the similar case. The wait is frustrating have to go through the process.

Hello All,

Right now I am on L1A visa. Do we need payroll here or just in India.
My employer saying we dont need to run paystubs here. Is it correct.

Please help me on this.

Thanks in advance for the responses.

Hi all ,

Im currently a L1 B holder and got married last month in france .My wife and my daughter (1 year old) is applying for L2 ... Does my daughter need to apply too ?

Hi ,

I recently attended the L2 interview along with my 16 months baby girl. It is a wonderful experience . After completing all security checks we were allowed to enter the embassy office . My token number was displayed and when my turn came I went and said " Good Morning " to the officer . He greeted me and said "vannakam" in tamil to my daughter . He was a nice man .
Since everything was checked neatly arranged in a folder by the counter inside the consulate he just told me to give the entire folder to him .
He asked questions like
1.How long you have been married for?
2.Where is your stay in US
3. Where your husband works for?
4. Where did I meet my husband ?
5. What is our marriage and what is our qualification
6. My husband favourite food ?
7. Where is my daughter born?

Dear All,

I would like to share my experience at Kolkata consulate for L1A on 03 June 11.
Following were the questions asked:

Q: Are you a Manager
Q: OK. When did you hire for the last time.
Q: Can you fire people
Q: OK. Explain me the procedure for firing associates.
Q: Which is your client you are going for.
Q: Explain about the project
Q: Is your family following you , traveling later. Are you married.

VO: VISA Approved.

My suggestions:
My personal experience was that no matter how you prepare for interview(for long answers) still the answers should be short and precise(presence of mind) because they may ask details of any thing instead of starting with client name or years of experience.

Also I think he was verifying my details with the petition copy of I-129S while constantly typing something.Hence your answers should start with those key words mentioned in the petition.

The VISA officer did asked me about the procedure for firing. He may also ask about the same for Hiring or any other process. So associates should know these process for explaining him/her.

Off course most importantly Luck matters.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am having L2 visa interview on 1st of june.
My l1 got rejected few months back. My husband and I are working in same company and he is currently in US. I resigned from my job just few days back and m serving notice period. I am really scared of these interviews. Once the experience was really bad. I am not sure what to do.. I am getting nervous day by day.
Please tell me are there any rejection for this category? :((

I had valid b2 visa and my husband was having valid b1 visa and he was flying to LA on L1 visa which got approved a week back.

I had a interview appointment on 8th Apr2011 at 10:15 am. I reached there 15 min early and after all the ten printing(finger printing) and other formalities I reached the counter no.16.

He was a nice gentleman. He smiled at me asked me for my application.

VO: Why do you want to go USA?
I: I want to keep my family united and want to be with him

VO: What is your husband and what is he gonna do in US?
I : He is associate lead in Quality assurance and he is going for planning of his project.

VO: How old is she? (for my daughter and smiled at her)
I: 3 yrs.

Took 2-3 min on his system and asked for no documents.

VO: Your visas are approved
I; Thanx officer.Can I make a request?

VO: You requested for visa and I have granted you what else do you want? (smiling)
I: Can I get my passport right now coz I want to fly with my husband tonight itself.

VO: Sorry Mam
I: Thankyou.

At 11 am I was outside the embassy with my hubby who accompanied me to the counter.
His presence was a compulsion for my daughter's visa interview.

I reached home at 12pm and got a sms that your passport is sent to VFS and YOU CAN COLLECT FROM THE COUNTER TODAY ITSELF.

I WANT TO THANK THE OFFICER. I AM VERY VERY HAPPY. I'll fly with my husband. I got my passport back on the same day of interview. got visas approved

Thankyou path2usa.

According to me they are quite fair. They check list the criteria and if you get it justified, they give it you.

TIPS: Don't show worries. Be confident and give short answers. No explanations if not asked for.
