☛ Do not be nervous. Be confident.

☛ Feel relaxed, not tensed.

☛ Maintain the body language well.

☛ Don't be tensed and don't start talking fast.

☛ While talking to the consular officer, maintain eye contact.

☛ Make sure to speak into the microphone. Otherwise, they may not be able to hear you properly.

☛ Talk in a sufficiently audible voice and in a slow and clear manner.

☛ Make sure to go through all the documents in advance and understand them thoroughly.

☛ Keep some cash with you just in case you need for purposes such as another photograph, snacks, difference in the demand draft amount etc.

☛ If your company offers mock interviews, make sure to participate in them.

☛ U. S. consulates may annotate blanket L visas with the name of the actual employer on the I-129S even if that subsidiary or affiliate employer name is not in PIMS.

☛ Know the team structure at your current job and in the U.S.

☛ It does not matter whether it is a product based company or service based company.

☛ Do not lean on the slab. If the interviewer's voice is not audible, ask again to repeat the question.

☛ Speak with the speech audible to a person at two arms length distance but not too loudly.

☛ Do not try to be over smart in any of your answers.

☛ Maintain a smile on your face at the time of interview.

☛ Make sure to greet the visa officer initially and wish well at the end of the interview.

☛ Dress what you are comfortable with. Suit or tie is not required. However, you should look neat and clean.

☛ Don't look at other windows and what is going on over there.

☛ Arrive to the interview around 15 minutes and maximum 30 minutes in advance. There is no point in arriving too early.

☛ If there are multiple lines at the consulate, make sure you are standing in the right line.

☛ Just because others in front of you are rejected, it does not automatically mean that you will be rejected as well. As long as your case is genuine, you will get the visa.

☛ Do not panic if your L1B visa gets rejected. That only means your skill set does not belong to specialized knowledge skill set and H1B visa may be more appropriate for you.

☛ Make sure that all of your documents are in proper order.
