签证小记
我是那天和版主 Feng_L 一起去签证的,签完证后将论文抛到九宵云外在上
海疯完了几天才回来.Feng L 将咱们签证的前前后后都写得非常清楚了.我
就将问到我的一些小问题和体会和大家共享.大家最好不要一个人去,三四个
人挺好的.这样在排领表队和签证队大家可互相有个照应,另外由于等的时间
挺长的,大家一快说说笑笑好打发时间.最重要的是,当你进入签证的那个房间
,里面那种气氛很容易让人紧张.人很多,又由于号并不是完全按顺序叫的,指
不准下一个就到你呢.你面前等待着的面孔都是焦急的,签过的面孔是兴奋加
激动,没签过的却又是沮丧得让你看着都难受的表情.有同行的人会或多或少
让你消除紧张之情.我领的是131号,坐在那越等越紧张,Feng L 便安慰我说
:"把BBS 上贴出来常问的问题再想一想." 这么一分神, 倒也不是太难受.
Feng L 在我前面签的, 他在那站了好长时间, 我正替他紧张时,他回过头
朝我和另一个同志笑笑, 我想他肯定没啥问题了,越发地不紧张了.等到
Feng L 顺利打响咱们同行三人的第一炮时, 我已经信心十足了.我这回运气
不错, 本来按我的号是小男孩签的,不知怎么转到魔女那了.我一上去,先来了
一句 " Hi" , 后面又一紧张, 没词了,不料魔女居然惊讶的来了一句:" Speaking
English?" 我果断地来了一句 " yeah!" 魔女才反应过来我是签 F-1,翻翻我的
材料,就开始写些什么了.下面是她随口问的一些问题:
1: Where will you go in USA?
2: Why do you choose this U?
3: Where are you from?
4: How many Universities have you applied?
5: How many give you admission?
6: How many give you finiancial aid?
7: What are these U ?
问题虽不少但都很简单, 她也只是漫不经心的听着, 我用了两 " Pardon" ,
还有一次用迷惑的样子代替了" Pardon" ,可当魔女告诉我" Wisconsin is
very cold" , 我一愣, 赶紧说没关系之类的话,心想她不会劝我知冷而退吧
. 没想到她下一句是: " But itis very beatuiful." 最后笑眯眯地告诉我:
" Wisconsin is my hometown." 我这才明白了, 怪不得问题都这么 Easy 了
, 敢情是遇上老乡了.所以去 Wisconsin的遇上魔女没系, 她可不能不顾咱
未来的老乡情了, 嘻嘻. 别的拿全奖的也应该没问题,大家肯定能签过去.
It took only not more than half a minute for me to get the visa.My number
is 198,the visa officail is a beatiful girl,on window 3.It's very lucky that we
three were approved easily by her.She asked very simple questions.Here
is my experience:
M:Hi,你好!
O:Good morning!
M(look at my watch and smile):Good noon! (it's 12:35 )
O(also look at her watch and smile):Oh,Good afternoon!
O:Where are you going to study?
M:Cornell University!
O:Cornell? OK, When will you graduate?
M:July, this summer.O:Will you get BS or Master's degree?
M:No!(I don't hear it clearly,and think she ask me will I get Master'sdegree.)
O:I mean what degree will you get this summer?
M(realize I made a mistake, but not at all nervous, speak loudly): Bachelorof
Science!
O:OK,what are you going to do after graduation?
M: Come back to China, and find a position in a university!
O:OK,I think there is no problem to get your F-1 visa,pleae come here at
3 am .....M: Thank you very much!
O:Bye-bye!
M:.....(I forget to answer!)
总体印象是签证官比较负责,不会故意刁难.问的问题也比较简单,特别是
WINDOW3的女签证官比较好过,和我一起的三位科大的都很顺利的通过
了!一号窗口的金发魔女看材料很仔细,问题也比较多,但只要是全奖,材料
齐全,一般没有问题.所以不要紧张.建议:带把伞,下雨挡水;天热防晒.我们五
点钟就有人排队,到11点才进去,在外面晒太阳的滋味可不好受.集体去签
证好处多多,一来可分工合作,一部分人领表,一部分人排队;二来可相互鼓
劲安慰.申请表最好先填一下草表. 现在F-1签证很好签的,祝大家好运!
Me:i am sorry.(i am late)O:why do you want to study in USA?
Me:Because the USA holds the leading position in the research of
mathematicsO:why do you choose Ohio State university?
Me:Because the dept of maths in that school has a strong faculty in
algebraand number theory.O:how did you know the Ohio state university?
Me:From the catalog of the universityO:what are you doing now?
Me:I am writing my graduation paperO:when will you graduate?
Me:In this summer.O:How many school have you applied?
Me:(犯土)twenty-eightO:eight?
Me:(又土一把)twenty-eight
O:(两眼发亮)twenty-eight!!!how many accepted you?
Me:sixO:(慢不竟心的)Is it expensive to apply so many school?
Me:(再土一把)It cost me.....O:(作不满状)...Me:pardon?
O: is it expensive to apply so many school?yes or no?
Me:(思索片刻)yesO:下舞三点凭这来拿。
Me:thank you very much.Visa Information

签证心得
坐元月20号晚的290, 于第二天(周三)早6:10到了上海. 从南出口出来左拐
找到地铁, 两元买到衡山站, 由四号出口出右拐, 在第一个十字路口左拐, 没
几步就看到很多人在排队, 这就是美驻沪领事馆.由于周一(19号)放假, 据说
周二人很多,有些人就没排到, 周三又来. 我6:30多到的, 大约在100多位, 因
为八点开签,九点领表, 所以很多人是填好表来的. 象我们也没必要去很早
排队, 九点领了表, 再填, 不到十点填完, 也快轮到我了. 我十点多进去, 在
最左的窗口交钱170RMB, 然后在旁边的窗口交材料和收据及领号, 材料
主要交护照, I-20,录书,和在门口填的表. 其余可交可不交. 我领的是165号.
签证官有三个,小胡子, 大男孩, 金发阿姨, 金发魔女不在, 改由大男孩. 小胡
子效率极高,别人签一个, 他会签两三个, 当然拒的快, 签的也快. 其余两个则
有很多问题问.我是大男孩签的. 问题很简单, 也很快. 全奖加名校是没什么
问题的. 尽管我回答问题不太顺, 主要是太吵, 而且大男孩说话声音不太大,
又快. 小胡子倒是很好, 在旁边听听, 他的声音最大, 且语速较慢.下午一点
交钱拿护照, 出来两点多. 坐地铁到陕西南路找到锦江饭店,作3:30的凯斯
鲍尔到合肥, 正点到达的时间是晚10:05.总的看来, 拒签的很多, 探亲的, 旅
游的, 做生意的, 还有访问学者,留学的好象还可以. 探亲的只要对方的钱多
, 也没什么问题. 那天去签的有三百多, 签到的不到一百.匆匆忙忙办完一切
, 该回家过年了. 祝大家出国顺利!
签证心得
自打定歪歪肠子去米国看看,呕心沥血,天天一盆,一包,一字典,苦
行于二教、六餐和宿舍。数战ETS于一教、四牌楼,总算签得城下之
盟。
再者玩命要表,辛苦联系,人民币花花外流,总算换来I-20。于是开
始地狱旅行,到处找头头脑脑签字盖章,公安局里点头哈腰,总算拿到护
照。
在科大又玩了两个星期,拿好东西去签证。到美利坚前的最后一战。
周日到上海时还是毛毛小雨。周一起个大早,雨已歇了,风却紧得很。一
路颠到乌鲁木齐路,已有不少人在排队等候。签证的地方离美领馆的大门
还有段距离,高高的围墙,黑黑的大门。填好签证的草表,就在寒风中等
着。看看身前身后的人,老头老太太的居多,F-1的也有些。好不容易
挨到开门的时间,第一批就把我给放了进去。里面又是长长的队,交钱,
交材料,领个号等着签证官叫。我看看小黑板上写的号,想排个避开传说
中的杀手的号。可是人实在太多,里面的气氛有很沉闷,一念之间就算了
。爱谁谁吧。
一边排着队等着交材料,一边看着那边三个窗口签证的情形。3号窗口给
拒的成堆,被拒的老头老太们在那儿仍不肯走,不知在问些什么,只听见
里面经常答复的一声:这是美国的法律。而一号窗口的女签证官看来却很
和蔼,当一个老头从她那签出来后她甚至还祝愿了一句,“祝你旅途愉快
。”看着看着就到了我,交了材料拿了号,57,三号窗口的号。当时真
是立刻觉得一股寒气,想避开谁偏避不开,呜呜。
麦克风里叫号了,56号。一个职业妇女模样打扮的小姐走了上去,我知
道下一个就是我了。心里说不紧张那是胡扯。我告诫自己,别紧张,放松
。
正这么想着,麦克风就又响了,57号。不到一分钟,56号就给拒了。
我走上前,签证官刚把护照和材料还给那位小姐呢。调整一下自己的表情
,打算给签证官来个微笑。可那小姐拿了护照材料仍不肯离去,我这好不
容易调整出来的微笑浪费了。没辙,咱单练吧。以下对话A就是我,V
是那传说中的厉害签证官。
A:Good morning, Sir. Nice to meet you.
V:Hi, good morning. (he have a look on my I-20 and passport)
V:why you want to USA?
A:To purse my Ph. D. degree.
V:why you chose *** (the name of University I will attend)
A:Because I am interested in the program I will attend in thisuniversity.
V:which program?
A:***(the name of my major), mainly focusing on ***
*到此为止的问题较简单,而且都是我有所准备的
V:en...OK, why ?*&^%$%^&&#$%@#$I can not hear clear this question
, just some words like "ocean""flow". I wondered whether I should reply this
question and Idelayed.
A:en... ...I thinkThe Consulate realized my delay and gazed me for while
, I lookedhim directly too. I think I must be confident at that time. He moved
his eyes and continued to askV:why sea nearby Shanghai looks red?
Oh, my God. I have never seen the sea nearby Shanghai and this is the
first time for me to go to Shanghai. But he asked, because itcan be
thought as a question relevant to my major.
*事到如今,不能再不说了,只好捣浆糊了。
A:oh, I think it is an optical phenomena ( an error)
V:optical? I mean it's caused by what? Pollution?
A:Yeah, it is caused by pollution.V:Pollution?
(He removed his eyes from my documents and gazed me again, he
disbelieve my answer? I must confirm it)
A:Yeah, pollution, I can say.
V:Pollution of what? Air Pollution?
A:oh, in general, we can not separate atmosphere from ocean. I
think it partly because air pollution and partly because oceanicpollution.
V:oh. (He began to write something on a sheet, I saw the words"F-1",
I knew I would pass. Something delightful rose in my heart.He made a
quick check of all my materials, admission letter, T.G.official score reports
and transcript, degree certificate.)V:what are you doing now?
A:I am a technician of USTC Hi-Tech Company.
V:Ok, come back 2:00 this afternoon and get your Visa(I knew I had
passed this final test, I am realy pleased.)A:yeah, thank you sir!
V:that's all right.(He gave me the receipt and I turned back. I made
a gesture of victory at once.)
1. 一定要从容镇定,别发慌
2. 问题一般来说都比较简单,但若相遇杀手可能会有刁钻的问题。
从秋天走的哥们姐们和我自己的经历来说,他会问些和你要学的专
业相关的问题。这些问题你懂不懂不要紧,但一定要回答,千万别说
:“sorry, I am not sure how to answer this question.”
3. 总之,要让签证官知道两件事a. 你听得懂英语b. 你会说英语
