JUNE.21 GZ F1 MASTER/CHEMISTRY 1000 PASS

先谈本人背景:女,国内一般本科,化工,申请一般学校的MASTER/CHEMITRY(2年制),全自费


预约时间是10AM,今天8点就出发了,到达天誉花园才八点半,已有大约20人在门口检查进入,我就在门口排队拿号。。。

直入至四楼电梯,又进行一趟检查,晕,又排队。。。

直上五楼,远远看见一条长队,以为排进去就是签证,哪知排到拐弯处才看见是有一轮安检。。。看着旁边那条签证成功后排队邮寄的柜台,真的百感交集。。。

拿出电子产品:手机,MP3寄存,拿回一个黄色牌(领回这些物品用的),全部行李过电脑系统检查(机场类似),走过安检门后拿回那些材料向前迈进。。。

签证区分为两步分,左边为非移民签证区,右边为移民签证区。哪知我太过紧张,指引的符号看反了,走错方向,走到移民那边,看看好像不对径,幸好警察叔叔告诉我相反方向那边才是。。。

进入非移民区,看看里面已经坐了一百多人,VO开了四个窗。我按照指示到1号窗交资料:I-20 FORM,DS三分表,中信收据,SEVIS FEE收据(DS表最好自己贴好相片,工作人员也可代劳,但怕丢了相片就麻烦了)。很多人都挤在1号窗排队,其实墙壁上明明写着1.2号窗都可以交材料的,晕。。。明显大家都很紧张吧

交了材料,正等那位MM给我号码或其他什么的,她好像没反应,没办法只能坐个座位见机行事,原来后来才知是VO直接叫号的,中文叫号,有个声音很标准的国语,想难道是华裔??有个声音很别扭,想肯定是外国人吧。就这样等着。。。

4号窗VO叫名,亚裔MM,心情好,笑容全程尽现

ME: GOOD MORNING
VO: GOOD MORNING,WHY DO YOU GO TO USA?
ME: I WANT TO PURSUE MASTER DEGREE SPECIALIZE IN CHEMISTRY
VO: WHAT FIELD?
ME: 太紧张,乱套了. GENERAL CHEMISTRY... THE UNIV. DOESN'T ADVISE ME FOR THE RESEARCH PROJECT AND WHICH ADVISOR....THEY SAID AFTER THE FIRST SEMESTER BEGIN,THE RESEARCH PROJECT WILL BE DESIDED....
VO:沉默,看电脑
VO: WHO SUPPORT YOUR STUDY?
ME: MY PARENTS
VO: WHAT YOUR PARENTS DO?
ME: MY FATHER RUN A BUSINESS AND SET UP A COMPANY WITH A PARTNER.THE BUSINESS FIELD INCLUDES ...Also my    father's company is the authorized dealer of XXX. I bring the business licence and tax licence ,Would you like to see?
VO:(开始 无反应,看到我这么积极,不忍心拒绝) OK OK.
ME: 马上递上执照,证书等
VO:( 扫了一眼,打电脑) ...give me your transcripts
ME:OK.Wait a minute.递上中英文成绩单,学位证书。My univ said they must be sealed. (由于学校出具成绩单时把它封口盖章了。)
VO: OK,NOT A PROBLEMS。同时用小刀开封成绩单,很仔细地看。然后狂打电脑。
ME:很害怕,我听说狂打电脑是据签。所以忙主动说话。I bring the bank certificate,would you like to have a look??
VO:完全无反应。打电脑
ME:发抖
VO: WHICH UNIV YOU WILL GO TO?
ME: UNIV OF XXX
VO:看电脑,DO YOU HAVE SOME RELATIVES IN USA?
ME:NO
VO: DO YOU HAVE SOME FRIENDS IN USA?
ME: NO.
VO:打电脑
ME:我怕得不敢看她,看别的地方去了,当我再抬头看她的时候,她在撕篮条。
VO: your visa approve
ME:惊喜,THANK YOU THANKS YOU.把台面的东西乱塞在一个袋子里就走了,怕她改变注意

全程竟无问财政,我是全自费的,简直奇怪~~~

各位看在我写了那么多的份上,能帮我一个忙吗?事情是这样的,本来这学校完全没有给我任何TA/RA,FELLOWSHIP,GRANT的。但我签证过了后根学校报喜说签证APPROVE,不久几天,学校发来一个邮件说改变注意,给我TA/RA的职位,但那封邮件我不太明白,不知道除了TA/RA还有没有 STIPEND?请看以下EMAIL片断,究竟我可以拿到多少钱TOTAL PER YEAR??

The current stipend for a graduate assistant in our Department is $13,250 for a twelve month period.  During the first year, the contract is for ten and one half months (mid-August - June 30) and so the total for the first year is $11,600.  The contract for the second year covers a full twelve months through the following June (July 1 - June 30).



During the first year, we are able to offer you an out-of-state tuition waiver, which we estimate to be about $11,603, and an in-state tuition waiver, which is the equivalent of about $2,533 (based on 9 credits and a 5% increase in tuition over 2005-06).  There will still be a few hundred dollars in fees each semester that we cannot waive and that you will need to pay yourself.  During the second year, we will be able to offer you an out-of-state waiver, but we may not be able to provide you with an in-state waiver.  So you will need to be prepared to pay the in-state tuition yourself during the second year.  



The stipend and tuition-waiver package ($27,386 for one year) can be counted toward the amount you need to get your I-20 form from the University.  Of course, you need the I-20 to get your F-1 visa.  UNCG estimates that during 2006-2007 it will cost $28,400 in tuition and expenses for an international student to go to graduate school.  Our stipend/waiver package covers nearly all of these costs for you, although you will need to be able to provide the remaining amount yourself.

建议:(1)千万不要表现得太紧张,会给VO以为心虚
         (2)语速尽量放慢,越快会越急,然后越容易错
         (3)准备的资料要分类妥当,避免找不到
         (4)对答要表现出诚恳的态度。
         (5)着装要得体,FI的要像个学生
