五分之一奖签证经历
lcdos已经在米国了,想起这几年来的风风雨雨, 吃过的苦, 经过的大喜大悲,
在米国又在短短的几个月间经历了许多, 可以说在这个小地方光国人就形
形色色, 遑论异类! 近来总是想说些什么. 但那也是过去的事了, 还是讲讲本
人的五分之一奖签证经历吧, 也许对后来者有点用.lcdos今年算联系的不好
的, 总结起来就是省小钱吃了大亏, 我没有寄一份正式的GRE成绩全是复印
件,于是结果很差, 最后等来了一个小学校的tuition waiver, 还不是全免, 只
免掉了10个学分中的四个, 还要求五月十五号以前存七千多刀在学校作
押金. 怎么办? 走到了这一步, 不能再回头!! 父母对我说, 你毕业了一年能
挣多少, 咱们这一年能花多少?再说你的一年时间能就这样等待么? 没钱,
我们自己去! 我惴惴不安地开始办各种手续, 每天都在想怎样以后刷盘子
. 有时睡觉都在想.筹钱的细节我就不多讲了,总之五月三十号我手上的I-20
表是这样些的:
a. Student's personal funds $ 13896.00
b. Funds from this school $ 4872.00
c. Funds from another source $ 0.0
d. On-campus employment $ 0.09. Remarks
Mr. XXXXX has already paid $13,946 to cover the security and tuition
deposit.
虽然如此, 实在不敢说最后会如何, 因为早就听说签证官的喜怒无常, 走不
走得了都是疑问, 六月就是在这种沉闷中度过的, 其间还得作毕业设计, 还
有毕业的分别, 心情确实很乱. 现在想起来很感谢带我毕设的叶老师, 她对
我老不出活没说什么, 但最后我还是作了点东西出来.
订火车票了, 我想不清除我应该什么时候离开北京, 于是订了一张比较靠
后的日子, 准离京前去碰碰运气. 其间还有过INTEL的招聘, 正好要我这个
地方户口的, 我想反正我过几天要去大使馆面试, 索性去练一练. 后来结果
证明两轮的面试对我许多天后脸不红地回答一些需要技巧的问题大有好
处.
六月三十号好象是周五, 在复习了几天飞跃重洋的问答题后, 早上我从南
门打了一辆破破的面的去秀水街. 七点四十到的时候拿到了二百七十九号
, 等到八点四十的时候打了一辆车去东交民巷拿护照, 大约九点四十才回
到秀水街, 接着排我的队, 一边和北大的两个老兄乱聊.
十点多的时候, 有个鬼子跑出来, 拿着一些不干胶的细纸条, 说是人太多
, 今天只能办这些, 于是往人们的护照上贴. 可气的是,她从队尾开始发,
一时间乱作一团. 还好我抢到一张什么都不是的那个破纸条.
十二点左右, 我没吃早饭的肚子快让我站不住的时候, 我到了院子门口,
交了钱, 一点不惊讶地被指示去interview.
来到里面, 我好笑地发现我们一直在谈论的决定我们的命运的地方竟然
和我们的七食堂一样, 许多人排在各个窗口, 递一些东西进去, 等另外一
些东西出来.
到一号窗口让一个中国小姐检查一番交钱的收据后, 被指示排到了专签
F-1的二号队伍. 开始了漫长的等待. 我后面的一个老兄也是咱们清华的
, 半奖. 另外几个窗口人不多, 有时没人.
轮到我站在队伍的最前端时, 没有想到的事情发生了, 没人了一段时间的
五号窗口的黑发女郎叽叽古古通过speaker 说了几句, 我实在是听不清.
然而我后面的老兄大踏步地走上前去, 开始了how do u do. 我才明白过
来, 她是要人过去. 这次时间是让人提心吊胆地长, 然而好象那兄弟对答
如流的样子. 在十多分钟后我们怀疑他没戏的时候, 他走到了右边六号去
. 黑发女郎又说了些什么, 这次我听懂了:
The student waiting in line 2, are you ready to see me now?
在半秒钟的迟疑中, 我转过了这样的念头: 鬼子叫上门来了, 我能不去么,
否则去米国干什么!
我终于走向前去, 开始了我的 how do you do!
lcdos: How do you do!
asian like woman: how do u do! why do you wish to study in USA?
lcdos: I wish to pursue my degree in USA because I think it would be
better for my future to work in a chinese university.
asian like woman: What is your major?
lcdos: I am going to learn Mechanical Engineering, the same as my
bachelor.
asian like woman: The same as your bachelor?
lcdos: yes.asian like woman: Why do you choose this university? Don't
tell me something ordinary.lcdos: Because I think this university is best
for my area, There are three university give me financial aid, but i think

and facilities.
asian like woman: Now tell me something about yourself.

emphasis on the money)

lcdos: about 20,000 dollars.
asian like woman: In dollars?
lcdos: I just changed the amount into dollars from chinese currency.
asian like woman: What if you can not get financial aid after the first year?
lcdos: (紧张, 想词, 推脱) it is a difficult question.
asian like woman: yes, it is!
(asian like woman turned to say something with another man beside, I did
not hear what, seems nonsense)(she turned back)
asian like woman: you haven't answered my question.
lcdos: I think i am a very good student and I am sure to get the research
assistantship or teaching assistantship.
asian like woman: Don't tell me this, What if you can not get?
lcdos: (实在没办法了) I think my family will continue to support me.(实际上我后
来感觉这是最重要的一句) (now some trivial things)(she began to ask the
nonorious question she has)
asian like woman: Who do you think alive, except the president and his wife
, is the most famous person in US?
lcdos: (有些糊涂了) nixsoon.
asian like woman: I said alive!
lcdos: (remembered some other's answer seen on AdvancedEdu) Sorry,
I made a mistake. then ... Bill Gates!!
asian like woman: (turn to the man she had talked before) bill gates?(the
man nodded)
asian like woman: Now tell me the most interesting thing in your life!
lcdos: (giving a bad answer, 不过已不重要了) Several days ago, Intel
offered me a job, but I did not accept it.
asian like woman: That is not interesting.lcdos: (silence, can not think of
something else)
asian like woman: Although, I will issue it to you!
lcdos: thank you!
asian like woman: Please goto window six and wait.lcdos: yes, thank you.
整个过程历时十数分钟, 心并没有跳的厉害, 只是完了以后我不相信地问
自己: 成了, 我一次签成了? 我本打算七月底回来, 签上十次八次的.出得大
使馆来, 早已经忘记饥饿, 只是眼泪有点想出来, 急着往家里打电话. 却被
打探消息的人们围住, 讯问我这非全奖的问题.
