终于轮到我来发签经了,所以迫不及待得回来,呵呵。
本人背景:
知名大学英语系本科
英语教育全奖
相关工作经验两年

总体感觉student visa形势一片大好。我前面的半奖的、自费的都过了。自费的Interview时间要长些,主要是说明为什么自己花这么多钱去美国读书的动机,还有可以轻松afford it的证据。一个半奖的Iowa U的只说了5分钟就pass了,据他说只向他要了导师主页和系主页。

现在来说说我吧。我也是轻松pass的,只用了不到5分钟。够快吧?可是在这之前却足足等了5个多小时!我约的9点(是电话预约恢复那天才约的,在公司打了3小时电话),8点就到了,可是队伍已经排了百来号人了。等到10点,终于放入领馆,领到幸运号码088号,窃喜之。在这之前不断有黄牛想插人进去,幸亏由学生亲属团在门口监督保安,才没让黄牛屡屡得逞。进入梅隆镇广场后由保安带领,坐电梯至八楼,保按收回牌牌,然后排队在门口核对护照(其实不用记预约号,因为他核对的是预约过的护照号)。确认后进入面签大堂,先安检。皮带带金属扣的会响警报,不过不用担心,取下来过就可以了。男生得小心提着裤子过安检。带矿泉水的保安会要求你打开瓶盖喝一口。

过安检门后走到大堂最里面两窗口Check In。亚裔1GG和1MM分坐两窗口内,MM态度较差。第一批要交的材料为:护照、DS表、I20表、签证费收据(按F1),大家都准备好!不准备好亚裔MM会发火的。交完后领到一号,是一张小纸片。大家就找位子等。此时不断有挂在墙上的显示器提示该号码的人到几号窗口面谈。我等了大约一个小时,被4号窗口VO叫过去按指纹。是个魁梧的老头。他中文特牛,逢人都开中文。后来探亲的都是由他用中文Interview的。按完指纹我又等了将近2个小时,我算慢的,因为看见和我一同进来的人都被叫去面了。还好我心态不错,有着必胜的信念。不过老实说当中确实有段时间很不耐烦,希望赶快叫到面了算了。

终于在下午1:50时,叫号器上显示了我的号码。我也不紧张,只是提了下精神(快睡着了)就去了。面我的是长金发MM,表情很不耐烦,在我之前刚刚拒了个中学生模样的女孩子,我听到的是“Show me the proof that you can afford it!”

具体过程如下

VO: Mr. XX ? (我看她累得眼睛都睁不开了)
Me: Yeah!(强打精神)
VO: What are you going to do in the United States?(极不耐烦)
Me: I'm going to pursue a master degree in ESL at Uni of XX (声音洪亮,希望能把她叫醒)
VO: What are you doing now?
Me: I am an English teacher at XX English School.(同时递上我们学校的brochure)
VO: How's your salary?
Me: X000 RMB before tax. Do you want to see my salary receipt?
VO: No.(摇头)
VO: What do you want to study the master degree in U.S.?(她开始抓耳挠腮了)
Me: It's because I want to be an successful English trainer training cross-cultural English learners in China. As you know, it would be great experience to me if I could study in U.S. for a year or two so that I would probably improve my English to a higher level. What's more, I'd also like to explore the American culture behind the English language itself. It would helps a lot in my future teaching career.
VO: 连连点头,表示赞同。
VO: Shit, what else shall I ask? (自言自语。好象黔驴技穷了,她开始揉眼睛,累得荒啊)
Me:(我赶紧接话): I'll come back to Shanghai after I get my master degree. I'll join my current company again as my company welcome me back. Do you want to see the support letter from my company?
VO: Sure. (接过去看、点头)
Me: And I'll get a promotion after I come back.
VO:That's nice. What university did you graduate from?(没话找话么,简历上不都有?)
Me: XX University.
VO: when did you graduate?(这下我确定她真的是没话说了。。。)
Me: 2002
VO: Nice study in U.S. (草草收场,丢了本留学指南的书给我,就把下个人叫上来了,可怜我还在窗口上整理材料呢!其实除了张support letter啥也没看,我在她面前摆摊头摆了一桌)

感觉VO到后面都没精力了,但不利的是我也没体力了,是强打的精神。今天看到拿到Visa的恶多,一问有一人等了1小时才拿到,可见处理工程之浩大,大水啊大水!护照也是叫号领取。感觉使馆里没想象得那么神秘和庄严,进去了会见到好多人,熙熙攘攘也就不紧张了!
最后祝大家好运,1000都能成功!
