97年F1签证实录4
: 时间:1997.7.15: 出发:凌晨3:30到南门,10分钟内打到一“夏利”,
4:00左右到.俺是5:00打车。
: 等待:排到201号。其实可以头天晚上10:00左右来登记,然后回去
俺排266号。
: 初战:目前全奖F-1较少,多数是探亲和商务。故前100人内竟然:
只有10人左右在门口告捷,其他的人全部Go in.: 我于9:10将I-20,
F-156和护照递入窗口。(以下,C代表: 签证官,M代表我): C: Which
universuty would you join in usa?
: M: XXX Univ.: C: Give me receipt.: 我递上170RMB的收据。
: C: Gom in for interview.: M: ...: 初战不利,大不爽。
呜呜~~~ 俺也是,问题是:
Go to Study? Yeah.Which Univ? XXXX.What's your favorite color?
??? 一不小心,听错了!!!
Go inside for interview...进去后先排0,后排2号窗口,到后来别的
窗口已结束,1号印度姑娘向我招手,飞奔过去。
Where is your Univ? XXXXWhat's your major? XXXXPardon? XXXX
OK. Go to Window Six.总共花去30秒。可让我在里面苦等了近两个小时。
签证穿啥好呢?我感觉作为学生穿衬衫最为合适,不必打领带,这样即不
拘束,又较为庄重,比穿T恤为好。当然,也有穿裤衩、背心就搞定的,
:)? 呵呵,实在佩服的很。进入正题吧:
早晨8:00与一哥们从清华出发,南门打的,杀奔使馆。
路上心中忽然浮现出Red Alert中的一句名言:“If you fail, do not
return.”我那哥们则念叨着:“我就是最好的,他没有理由锯我...”
9:05到达使馆,发现号已经发光了。:( 前面来的同学劝我们赶快去公安
局。“没号怎么敢离开?”我心道。再转转吧。
到9:15时,忽然闪现出一女将,嘴里嘀咕着"靠别人不如靠自己",直奔
我二人而来,问道:“有没有硬纸?”我们立即心领神会,双手将硬纸
送上。女将麻利地把她的名字写在上面,我二人也就跟着写在后面。旁
边一大群人立即围拢过来,纷纷写上大名。。。呵呵,号搞定啦。我是
419号。
然后打夏利取护照,到天安门吃了顿快餐,四处转悠转悠,回转到使馆时
,已经是快11:00了。这时到了300多号,同伴开始填F156,我前一天晚
上已填好,乐得一旁休息,只是天比较热,穿着衬衫已经汗流浃背了,
不禁想起Doom来,嘴里也就念出声来:“I'm going to the hell”。
旁边一人问道:“你在说啥?”我笑了:“I'm speaking English”。
.....
警卫向我们招手了,我脑海中又浮现出一句话"I have a feeling I'm
close to it"(Diablo. :) ),交完170圆现钞,签证小姐向我那哥们
勾手指头,他便挪到了窗口。下面是她的问话:
?Why do you choose... universty?""Why do you receive the
financial aid from the university?""What are you going to
do after you come back?"....轮到我了,本来准备说一声"Nice
to meet you",看到小姐哭丧着脸,实在是说不出口,就变成了“
This is my passport and receipt",顺手把护照和收据递了过去。
小姐头也不抬,"I 20?"。"Here you are"我把I 20“扔”了过去。
心想,不能被动挨打,就说道“Would youlike to see the admission
letter from the department and the graduate school?"小姐笑
了"OK". 我又把录取信递过去。心想,已经三句话了耶,该"Mission
Accomplished"了吧?
岂知小姐看我口语不错,开始用飞快的速度问话了:“Why do you
choose Electrical Engineering as your major?" 呵呵,撞到枪
口上了, "When I was a child, I liked it very much. After
I grow up...."。我以飞快的速度回答着。
"What are you going to do after you get the degree in
Electrical Engineering?" " I wish I could be an Engineering
scientist and...."(后面怎么说的我也 忘了,反正是快得很) 小姐
开始对我另眼相看了,停了一下,以更快的速度提了两个问题。
哇咧,亏的我跟老外练了半年的口语,这下全用上了。于是用更快的速
度 回答。(当时兴奋的很,她问啥,我说啥全忘了!) ... 小姐开始写
黄条子了,嘴里以解说拳击比赛的速度对我说着什么,我全不记得啦,
只是看着那张黄条子," Ok! You have done it." (Red Alert)
根据计算,我的奖被称为4/5奖,所以去签证还有些惴惴的。
早晨5:30左右到使馆,和朋友两人排到170多号。
租定椅子后,朋友先去McDonald's吃早饭。
回来后正好去领F-156。
之后我再去McDonald's,吃饭,填表(两个人的)。
回来时约9:45。到100号。
10:20交费进馆。在馆内排队。
见到了久仰的印度魔女、亚裔女子等。
今天印度女的队无人敢排,以致于她多次叫下一个,直至冲着排头大
叫“先生!”轮到我时是亚裔女子。我把材料全递过去,她低头看材
料,我说"Morning",她抬头也回了一句,又看材料,边喃喃说着:F1?
我说Yeah,F-1.又喃喃地说:Doctor?
我说Yeah, doctor's degree.之后她看到资助部分,问我How about
the personal fund?
我说I earned about $1000 and my family gives me the rest
amount.她点头,之后就陷入了沉思,我虽然恨不得问她到底在想什么,
但我忍住了,觉得还是不要打断她的沉思。
但她对自己的思考并不自信,又和旁边的印度女商量了好一会,她终于
回到自己的位置,对我说OK,OK,同时在F156上划了圈,并告诉我
Window 1。(相当于原来的W 6)。
于是我就签成了。我的朋友是全奖,在我后面由印度女签的,印度女指
导完亚裔女之后,就给他签了。不过问了他一些有趣的问题,改天他会
自己报道啦。
现在签证的学生很少,很多是探亲的,均在被据之列,所以对学生很
有利。
在门口,把护照,i-20,F-156递进去,一个白小伙,看看嘴里面嘟囔
"....go to US"这家伙声音太小,前面是什么没有听见一想这个问题
都要求pardon的话,一定要go into for inerview了估计是问why 或
者 what will you do之类的答:pursue Ph.d degreee可能答对了
老外又嘟噜了一句,声音还是很小,还是没有听清,但是听见最后是
receipt这个单词赶紧递进去,
老外连go to next window都没有说,把我材料向右一递对我挥了一
下手。啊,这就结束了
还是在门口签比较爽,看运气了,老外一高兴,就不用进去了
手中有奖,心里不慌脚踏实地,喜气洋洋
我7月30日去签证过一次,因未带Assitantship Letter而被据8月1日
又去,可爱的印度女孩问了我3个问题Her :What are you going to
study in the united states?
ME: Speech and hearing sscienceHer: Why?
Me: My speciality in graduate study is speech recognition,
I am very interested in it, and want to further my study
in united stats, the university has good repuation in my
field. Her: you bring the Assitantship letter hear?
Me: yeah Her: Ok, go to window no 1.me: Thank you
可她并没有把我交上去的Admission letter 和Assistantship letter
还我,这些东西应该还吗?请问!,谢谢
本人今天去签,搞定了,为后来者方便,特地介绍。
今天凌晨3:00,差我一小表弟去使馆排队。
我于7:40赶到,149号。前后均为老者,或短期的人,找不到合适的人
对话。
8:00队伍重新清理。到了8:30,但见队伍一阵少骚动,先遣队伍竟进
去也。
队伍移动颇快,9:10该我了,突然在马路对面杀出十个老外,进去签证
,念名单的人说按规定老外不用排队(洋人在中国真爽!?)。我跟在
这帮老外后面,他们是领养中国婴儿的加拿大人,说法语——大概是魁
北克。
在门口交完钱,进到下一窗,忽一老中样的女士操美语,让我拿出I20
,盖了一时间戳,说:“ Go to window 3.”我还在恍忽中,女士旁
的真老中说:“她让你到窗口3。”唉,无法体会某些大侠在门口签的
爽了!
进到门内的安全检查,但见一壮老美“护送”一个女孩出来,说:“
This is a big offense. What you do is not allowed here."
(好可怕!),原来这位小姐居然偷带竟去了随身听,被这位在巡查
的人发现,小姐说:“I am waiting here.”老美口气很硬:“You
cannot stay here. You must go out.”管检查的华裔还补充:
“This is your fist time. If you do it next time, you may
never go to US forever.”(好可怕!建议去签的各位,尤其是小
姐们,最好BP,随身听都不要带,带了也主动交给安全门卫)。
经过院子,走到凉棚,但见坐满了人,不敢造次,忙问:“谁是尾?”
,一哥们说:“你要签就径直走。”推开被无数大侠摸过的沉重的门,
进去了,一年青老美招呼上了:
“Let me see. Are you first time to come here? Go to wait
behind that man.”排上队,马上竟进入火力侦察,多亏众大侠的详
细介绍,已事先有了抽想印象。但见印度魔女在5号,亚裔(我认为是
华裔)女在3号,白头男老美在3号,一年青男老美在2号。2号男老美
不错,挺干脆。但见一老妈在白头老美那里被拒,老妈说到:“儿子
在美这么多年我都没去,现在结婚了,我想去看,为甚么不让去?”
白头老美摊摊手说:“ Next.”过了一会,因印度魔女在喇叭里叫:
“Come here. Come here.”在队伍头的一小男生就是不过去,僵持
了大约两分钟,在排队处走的美国年青小伙过来给他做工作:“You
see, that window is empty. You should go there.”这位小侠毅
然不动。该我了,印度魔女大概有一阵子没人去了,而别的窗口又被别
的大侠占据,遂向印度魔女走去。下面是对话:(M-本人,S-印度魔女)
M: Morning.(递进护照、I20、系里录取/奖金信)S: Why do you want
to go to US ?
M: I want to study XXX for my Ph.D.S: You are working in XXX
company ? How long have you worked ?
(我已工作。)M: Six years.S: What do you do in your company ?
M: I carry out technical research and evaluation.S: What is
technical research and evaluation ?
M: We have many international cooperation program with
European and
American Companies.S: What program do you participate in ?
M: I am working on several programs. For example, XXX.
S: What does the XXX program mean ?
M: It means XXXXXXS: What about XXXXXX ?(她笑了)M: It stands
for XXXXXXXXX ? (我也笑了)S: Go to window six.对话速度很快
,本人已访过数国,当过现场翻译,对答如流。
又交了170大圆。
体会:
1,自信一些,放松一些。
2,把对话往自己熟悉地方引。
早晨5:30乘302去农展馆(始发5:00),换乘43路到光华路,7:00之
前到大使馆。
拿292号。据说,3:00到可拿100号之前,5:00之前为100-200号。
8:20左右开始签证。
9:30分排到150号左右,11:20左右轮到本人。共约400多人。我一友
十天前12:00到,1:00多就签完了。
先交上170元,然后next window,有一老美,男性,30出头。
递进F-156和I-20的第一页,“Morning, Sir”。老外没反应,晦气!
(F-156中文电码要填的说)!
老外突然从材料中抬头:“Good Morning"
I reply :“Good Morning ”
"Study?"
"Yeh"
"Other pages of I-20?"
"Ok",赶紧递了进去。
"Admission?"
我递进了学校和系里两份通知(其中一份要有奖学金的证明,I-20不够
,我一友曾因此遇到质问,不得不进大厅受审)。
“Why you choose UIC”
"...."
"Next window"
"Thanks"
老外发音比较清楚,这两天似乎全奖要容易得多.
今天拿签证,排队,领号。不到200人。大家提前去的好。

祝大家好运!早日去米国.
今年这里的形势特别严峻,不知有多少个全奖都被锯了。广州这里有
三个签证官,一个秃头,一个大胡子,一个女的。小秃头最坏,什么
都不听你的,随便打断你,弄弄就给你锯掉,撞到他手里的没几个能
过关。女的第二坏,但态度还是很好,很耐心的样子,很有礼貌地跟
你说sorry,签过的也极少。大胡子最好,据说他是非移民签证部的
主管,很仔细地看你的材料,一般全奖落在他手里就没什么问题,但是
他很少出来,一般都撞在小秃头和那女的手里,能遇上他真是三生有幸。
我去了两次,每次都排了两天的队。头回遇上小秃头,瞪着眼睛挑了我
几个此就把我撵回去了。第二次还好遇上大胡子,就看了我的TOEFL和
GRE成绩还有I-20,其他什么也没有看,听我对着他侃了一通就OK了。
其实签证的时候心态很重要,越是有自卑心理,越是唯唯诺诺,就越没
戏。越是理直气壮,别跟他客气,反而效果好。那些签证的官员,吃硬
不吃软。不给他一点厉害瞧瞧,他就是不知道马王爷三只眼。
在广州美领转了两回,认识很多签证的同行者。有个被锯了十回的计算
机全奖,跟小秃头和大胡子大吵了一架,拍着玻璃骂。第十一回去却签
到了。但全奖被锯的更多,更难。什么结过婚的,得全奖的,上好学校
的,学理工科的也都锯。多得不正常,难得不正常。有奖学金的同行,
一定想方设法到别处去签,没有奖学金的,倒可以来广州试一试,多备
一些不打算移民的证明。
