☛ 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.

☛ 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.
