L2 Visa Interview Q&A Help

hi,

My visa interview is on July 27th for L2 Visa at Hyderabad. I am currently working and have a baby of 15 months old. My husband left to U.S. last year and we (daughter and myself) are planning to go by November or December. Travel date is not yet decided.

Could any of you share your experiences about the L2 visa interview and also help me answering in a better way for the following questions

1)Why do you need a visa to U.S.

2)Why did you not attend the visa interview with your husband

3)Are you planning to quit your job

4)Are you planning to work in USA/What are you planning to do in the US

Hi Shiny,

Congrats on getting the L1 to your husband.

  1. You should always tell the truth while you are attending visa interviews. That said, you should tell that your husband is currently working with in and that you would like to join him with your daughter.

  2. You can give a reason such as you did not want to travel with your new born baby back then. Now you would like join your husband.

  3. Yes if you are planning to quit before joining. I would say yes to make it clear that your intention is only to join your husband and not working.

  4. No because you would like to concentrate on taking care of your baby for now to be on safer side.

Good Luck with the interview!

Thanks and Regards

-Rahul

Thank you so much for your quick response,

May I know:-

  1. Employment reference letter : My current company offer letter is it fine ?
  2. for payslips 3 months are enough or need to take 6 months.

Thank you…!

It’s my pleasure :blush:
Current company offer letter will do …if you have switched companies then better to keep previous one’s for safe side …

Payslips of 6 months are required …

They dint ask me to show all these but cannot predict how it goes on with others…

When is your interview ?

I have certain visa queries for L2 visa. In my case, I am the primary L1 applicant and my husband and my 3 years child would apply for L2 visa. In my case, we will be applying for visa together.

Could any of you share your experiences about the L2 visa interview and also help me answering in a better way for the following questions

1)Why do you need a visa to U.S.

2)Are you planning to quit your job

  1. Are you planning to work in USA/What are you planning to do in the US

  2. What will you do when your visa expires?

We are not sure about his plans of working in US. so can we say not sure as of now for are you planning to work in US or simply say no.

Would appreciate your inputs.

Thanks.
