6月18日在9号窗口被拒，我想先说说今天签证的总体形式，然后再谈谈我的情况，希望能
够有人不吝赐教，指出我的失败原因。由于我是9点开始排队的，签完已经快11点半了，所
以我只能对这一时间段的情况加以说明。
dtt在8号窗口，放了好几个，有一个学经济的gg，另外几个是mm，我是在10号窗口旁边的
9号窗口签的，2个多小时之内，大约有不超过20人获得签证，包括F-1、探亲、商务或J-1
等，我认为F-1不超过一半，记得有2个gg是F-1，其他F-1好像都是mm，当然应该还有chec
k的，这我就不知道了。9号似乎从来没有在签经上被提到过，反正今天hfmm没有出现。他
签的非常慢，大约只签了2队，而且我印象中除了探亲的，他就没有给过F-1黄条。他喜欢
让探亲的先签，F-1最后签。
我的基本情况：CS，男，本科毕业后在父母所在的高校工作一年，清华计算机系硕士，毕
业后在公司工作一年，去MSU
我的签证过程是这样的：请大家帮忙指出我的失败原因，我自己也想了一下，但想听听他
人意见先。
VO: (叫我的名字)
ME: (听得不是很清楚，挥了挥手便走过去，有些像农民)
ME: Good morning, sir. Here is my card.
VO: Good morning. So you are going to XXX university?
ME: Yes.
VO: What will be your major?
ME: My major will be Human-Computer Interaction(HCI) especially in multimodal
technology.
VO: (似乎不是很懂这个名词，看了我一眼) What does it mean?
ME: HCI is to form a new interface between human-beings and computers.
VO: (nod) What are you working now?
ME: I am working in XXX company as a researcher, mainly focused on speech synt
hesis and embedded systems.
VO: Your previous experiences?
ME: I worked in XXX university as a teaching assistant for one year. Then I st
udied in Tsinghua university for three years and got the master's degree.
VO: (nod) What was your major in Tsinghua?
ME: Speech processing.
VO: (用笔记下Speech) Your GRE and TOEFL score?
ME: Here you are (我的GRE很低，verbal只有4xx，去年11月笔考；TOEFL也比较菜，610
/5.0)
VO: What will you do with your PhD degree?
ME: You mean my work plan after graduation.
VO: Yes.
ME: I will come back to China and find a job in a university. I would like to
devote my whole life in research work. My father has a successful career. He w
ent to XXX(某欧洲国家) for two years as a visiting scholar. The professor ther
e asked him to stay for a longer time for further research. But he refused him
. He came back to China and ...(正准备把老爸在大学里的成功经历详细描述一番时被
打断，我自己准备时认为是一个Strong Tie)
VO: But the situation has changed. I do not care your father but you.
ME: (当时有点蒙了，想了两秒钟，抬出另一个Strong Tie) The localization of the m
ultimodal technology will be very important and urgently needed in China. Most
Chinese people do not like the traditional interfaces between the human-being
s and computers. They could not input Chinese words quickly and they could not
understand the English web pages very well. The multimodal technology will be
more convenient for them.
VO: (显出一副很感兴趣的样子，频频点头) Your salary?
ME: 5000 after tax. I have some materials of my fathers. Would you like to hav
e a look? (还想重新提一下老爸的事情)
VO: No. You just talk about the HCI ...?
ME: (我认为VO对我的未来专业很感兴趣，开始有些飘飘然) blablabla 又说了一堆HCI和
muotimodal对中国的作用。
VO: (Smile) 开始敲键盘，不理我。
ME: 考虑是否自己再说些什么，但又怕丧失了当时的“大好”局面。
VO: @&^!%@*!&)(*($^@%$ 说了一堆，开始在DS表上画圈，我还没意识到大难临头。然后盖
章, say sorry
ME: But ... Would you please give me some advices on my next interview?
VO: (没听得太清楚，只听到他说别的签证官可能会相信我，但是他不信我会回来) ...
ME: Thank you.
我先不谈我自己的总结，希望大家多提意见，以免让我自己的想法误导他人。
另外我约了7月3日2000，不知是否太早了些？
