After few second of thinking VO says:

Sorry sir I cannot approve your visa.I am returning your documents.
Ask your company HR to file visa in some other categaory.
Stamped “Not Clearly Approvable” in all my I-129S.
He gave me my Passport, 2 sets of I-129S.
He did not given me any slip which says the reason of rejection.

Then Helping Volunteers told me to wait because i did not get any slip.volunteer told me she will check with VO what happen.
But VO was not their in the counter. we waited for 15-20 minute then volunteer told me Sir you can leave.

Please help me what happened in my case? Is anything serious?
Can my company file L1-individual or H1B.

Please help me.

I think that the development team being 3, is very small.

Hi Vishalpandey,

Same situation for me as well. I attained the L1-A Blanket interview on 03-Aug-2017. Officer stamped ‘Not Clearly Approvable’ and returned two copies of I-129S, I-769 and DS-160 without any slip/paper. Currently, it is showing the status ‘Administrative Processing’ on CEAC site. Does it mean that it is rejected, or they are going to check it again and I might be asked for any evidence? In simple, is there any chance for reconsidering this case? What was your experience in your case and any knowledge that happened with others?

Thanks for posting this and your reply in advance :slight_smile:
