L1A Visa Stamping Experience 2011, Chennai
Recently a good friend of mine, Babu attended L1A visa stamping at Chennai. He was kind enough to write up and share his experience with our readers. Thanks to Babu !
Background L1-A Visa stamping
I am a resident of Hyderabad, since there were no dates available in Hyderabad so I went to Chennai Consulate for stamping for L1-A extension. Below are the questions I was asked by Visa Officer (VO)
L1A Visa Interview Questions :
- How many years of experience you have?
- How long you are with present company?
- How long you have been on Manager Role with present company?
- How many people report to you in US?
- Does anyone report to your sub-ordinates?
- Whom do you report to?
- How many years you were in US?
- Can I see your Pay Stubs?
He has seen each and every Pay Stub thoroughly and returned them back.
Chennai consulate is not crowded as it used to be 2-3 years back. If you go 30 minutes before the interview also, they will allow you to go inside. They have token system for each counter, overall you will have to go at 2 counters only. The whole process is not taking more than 30 minutes. My visa stamping went well and got my passport in a week.

My husband has L1B visa and I have L2 which both have expired on Jan 2012 as well as I-94. Now we have got extension for I-129 for my husband and I-539 for me up to Jan 2014 as well I-94. I have questions:
1- If my husband stays in USA and I go out of USA and do you think? Can I come back to USA without stamping the visa?
2- If visa stamping is necessary to come back to USA, what documents me should have with me to get VISA stamp?
NG,
1. If your current visa stamp has expired, then you need to go for L-2 visa stamping.
2. You need to carry documents related to your husband’s L-1, recent payslips, your I-539, passport and other information related to your I-94 (copies).
Hi Saurabh – What’s the average processing time for an LCA these days (calender days)?
Thanks in advance!
XYZ,
I don’t know the current processing time, but usually it is 10-15 business days.
Thanks for the response. So 10 – 15 days only by the DOL? Or the complete cycle?
XYZ
XYZ,
That is the DOL processing time. After that your employer has to publish the LCA on internal boards for 10 business days, and then file the I-129.
Hi Saurabh
I am on L1 B and My husband has a L2 and he applied for EAD and he has got is EAD now. But Company is ready to sponsor for L1 now, so having L2 along with EAD. Will this impact the getting L1 Approved?
Thanks
Anu
Anu,
No, it won’t impact his L-1 processing as long as he still qualifies for L-1.
