Much deserved content the L1-B specific people should view to collectively gather all the info short and crisp. I'm wondering by seeing your content delivery knowledge that it doesn't seem like your 1st vlog. Keep r😊cking. Once again Thank you so much.
Hey!! I just had a quick question about company support letter since I haven’t been told anywhere by my Lawyer about it. Can you tell me what is this letter about and what does it states?
You are welcome 😊, for this question you need to answer in terms of what specialized knowledge you possess- this could be company’s specific processes, tools or if there is a project you are going to work for.
Hi shivany, I have few doubts regarding L1B expiry... 1. What if L1B reached to extended period i.e 5years does company apply for new L1 b visa or we have to come outside of US for a year and apply H1B? 2. What about green card through L1B visa, I heard that getting Green card takes years to come like 50-100 years is it true? If so what is our(L1B visa holders) approach towards green card
Hi Shivany, Did you pay L1B blanket fees of $500 via Demand Draft ? If yes, Can you please help with: 1. What embassy name to put on DD ? 2. Where to find the conversion rate, since DD needs to be INR ?
Hi Madhurish, 1. Check out this link for name to put on DD. (At the bottom, click on the city) in.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/american-citizen-services-acs-fees/ 2. In this link you will find information for the exchange rate. It suggests to check the rate before interview date. in.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/paying-fees/
Hi Madhavi, your employer will support in the petition process with the forms that I mentioned which is pretty quick and then it is upon you once you fill DS-160 and fix appointment dates for biometric and interview based on availability.
Hi, I got my passport back with visa stamp in 7 days after consulate interview. They give you the stamped I-129S form immediately at the counter once officer finishes with your visa interview.
Hi Shivany thanks for sharing the info…I have one doubt any rules in dressing for female who is attending interview or what type of dressing we need to prefer ? Thanks in advance
Nice helpful video. For 500 USD fraud prevention DD , how to convert this into exact INR amount ? I mean what if person at consulate says that DD inr amount is short of 500USD.
Did you pay any reciprocity fee? It was not mentioned in your video. If you did, did you pay it before the interview? Is it paid during in the embassy?
@@aboutshivanyMy L1B visa interview is scheduled for the 4th of June. Hopefully it gets approved. I need to confirm 3 things with you. 1. Will DD for 500 USD for fraud prevention be taken care of by my company or do I need to pay the same? 2. Do we also need an Offer letter from my US employer or will the support letter suffice? 3. Do we really need to carry a recently updated CV also?? Many thanks in Advance!
@@worldofgj5472 Hello, let me answer these. 1. You need to check this with your company - usually it is paid by you and reimbursed by company. 2. Yes you need to carry your offer letter. 3. They didn’t ask me for my resume / CV but best to carry it, to be on safer side.
Hi Shivany, Me and my wife's L1B and L2 visa interview is scheduled for next month. Can you please help us with a mock interview. It will help us a lot to be more confident to face the visa interviewer. Thanks

You said you work in Dubai (I do as well) but then you applied visa from Chennai, any particular reason for the same ? Just curious as i am also in the same process of applying L1A from Dubai. Secondly how much was the duration for this L1B visa ? and lastly is this visa eligible for GC ? Thanks in advance.

Can you confirm on the 500usd paid .. for fraud prevention as no one said so or is it only for L1 visa
Yes this is for L-1B. For other visas, I am not aware.

How long did it take to process the visa
I received the passport with visa stamp within 7 days from the interview date.
What is the avg salary for L1 B visa holders
it depends very much on the kind of role and the company. I would rely on Glassdoor which gave me the right estimates to be able to negotiate.
