How likely is it that blanket L1 gets rejected? I will be having my interview soon and quite nervous that I don't get approved.

OP,good luck..is it L1A or L1B? do you have reportees in your current role? You will be questioned on the managed revenue,the officer will look for sufficient evidence to help him make a decision and ascertain you are a manager..keep all the records ready…if L1B then prep on the internal tool or specialized skill you will talk about..don’t rely overtly on the past approval data,it will make you nervous..focus and stay calm..

Nope,don’t overthink or give additional answers..answer to the point and your current role matters..also your pay in the US matters,anything above 100k has high chances of approval…EY brand helps too..so stop worrying and focus on interview prep/answers to current role and what role you will be performing in the US..

Remember that the consul only have less than 10 minutes to judge you in your application. They might confused but see to it that you answer their questions straight to the point and yes, salary matters

OP - how did your interview go? What questions were you asked?

like

What consulate is the interview at? Some are easier than others, but you’ll be fine. L1Bs get more scrutiny than L1A

OP, if you are feeling nervous / overly stressed about the interview, I highly recommend seeking out external counsel to help you prep. They can run you through typical questions and help you focus on key points. It’s well worth the ~$200.

I had my L1A interview on Friday and it went fine. Talking to a lawyer and prepping really helped calm my nerves. :)

Check out Argo Visa we use them to prep our FNs

Confidence is the key, don’t stress too much of it. Focus on the visa requirements and how to get it passed.

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice. HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.

Hello everyone!
My current company's notice period is 3 months, due to which I'm unable to get any interview calls.
Resigning without an offer is not possible at the moment due to family responsibilities.

Do you know any companies which will accept three months of notice period?
Or how do I tackle this situation?

Your suggestions are highly welcomed!

Thank you in advance!

I resigned last month and my manager said he is trying to retain me. I had a call with HR and I explained my expectation. Now, I am getting profiles daily to evaluate. Candidate has similar experience and working on the same technology stack.
I knew that my manager is looking for my replacement but he is still pretending that he will retain me. I don't understand why he is doing like that.
Do I need to evaluate the profiles?
