If there are inconsistencies in my L-1 documentation, how many interviews will I have?

There is no fixed number of interviews for the L-1. The process is designed to gather all relevant information in a single consular interview, and each case is evaluated individually.

If the officer identifies inconsistencies in the documentation, they may request clarifications or additional documents during the interview itself. When questions cannot be resolved at that point, it may be necessary to schedule a new session to review the clarifications or receive the missing documents.

• The standard is one interview to collect everything needed.
• Inconsistencies may lead to requests for supplemental information on the spot.
• In some cases, a new session may be scheduled to verify the adjustments.

The best strategy is therefore to present complete and consistent documentation from the start. When in doubt, check the official guidance or work with a specialist. Be wary of anyone promising guaranteed outcomes.
