小弟去年非常成功地签到了J-1去美国的学生与访问学者签证，去年2006年7月~9月近三个月在美国做实习。
去年9月回国后，经考虑，2006年12月份向去年的雇主表示，想毕业后能再去一次，把去年短时间未学会的技术能有个全面的了解，那边的雇主也希望我能过去。由于我J-1的某些规定（2-yearresident），我不能申请H-1工作签证（J-1的Wavier也没有办法申请），因此对方想方设法帮我申请第二次J-1签证（非二签）。
由于去年我是以学生身份签的（我今天刚毕业），而且只有短期三个月，回国的理由很充分，因为要回国完成学业。而现在，对方的公司也说了，我现在的情况容易被认为是有移民倾向的。
我于2007年11月7日去上海美领馆面签，被Check了，拿到一张橘红色的“NOTICE TO THE APPLICANT”，经过漫长的三个星期的等待，终于拿到签证。现在正在办法出去的后续手续。

/*****************************************************/
As a conclusion, I believe that they will check these 4 points:
(1) The cooperation with a Chinese company named XXXXXXXX,http://www.XXXXXXXX.cn, it's okay coz we did have cooperation withXXXXXXXX. But it seems that the visa official was interested with myJ-1 status "EXCHANGE Vistor", please see the details in our talk above.
(2) My major Physics. I think Physics is a sensitive one they need check.
(3) Training not working.

Check Prohibited Items
PART IV. 经验总结：
++++++++++++++++++++++++
1）充分准备
事实证明，不管你的签证是否很容易过，你的材料准备都得非常的充分，你一定要有申请材料的CheckList，这样VO向你要材料时你就可以很快地拿出来；
2）自己FAQ
大家可能都会设想一些VO会问到的问题，由于毕竟是在说英语，可能会有表达上的问题，所以会事先准备好答案。这样做并没有错，最主要的是你的答案一定是自己一字一字事先准备的，而不背别人的答案（非常的不可取）；
3）态度诚恳
不管是哪国人，中国人还是美国人，特别是作为美国国家政府的VO，你诚恳的态度是非常重要的，你在表达去美旅行的语言和表情上要十分的自然与诚恳，这也跟你是否是在背别人的FAQ也有关。如果你是在背别人的FAQ，你肯定做不到这点，除非你的心理素质非常好，如果好到这种程度，你也不会太在乎美国签证是否过了。
4）放稳心态
虽然好多人都不太同意我这样的观点（特别是相对好多强人来说）：如果签不出来，我现在的工作也是非常的不错，也就是留有后路，这样你的心态会放得稳一点。事实上我在毕业前的好几个月就已经在申请签证了（也就是说签证顺利的话，一毕业就可以去了，由此可想而知，整个过程是多么的艰难与漫长），但是是毕业前在国内找工作我比谁都积极，因此毕业后的工作也是不错的。
与我观点相反，有些人喜欢豁出去，会努力地去做一件事情，这些人可能就会成大事业，但是在冒风险。注：我现在不炒股。
我的这种心态可能会随着以后生活的变化而变化，可能会变得不太一样。
5）预知能力
你对每件事情都有自己的判断与预知能力。我事先给自己的预定目标是至少也得是被Check吧，直接拿到最好了。这样你可以按照这个结果来按排下面的工作。我在面签之后，没有拿到签证之前就提前通知我现在的公司老板。 thanks Hope XDJM can also pass the visa interview
