签证108问的修订版
1)What will you study in the United States?
(虽然我想了很多，但是VO问我这个问题的时候，我还是只答了第一句，汗，大家看着办，仅供参考)
I will study Industrial Engineering and Operation Research in xxx University. Mainly I am interested in production system and logistics and am going to focus my area on them.
Actually it is a very useful field. Its application is mainly related to the production process. (接下面的归国计划)
（有关专业的解释准备一下，以防VO问到：
Industrial Engineering involves the design, organization and economic operation of integrated production or service systems. It concerns people, materials and equipment. Areas of application include manufacturing production processes, and service organizations, such as banks, libraries and government agencies.
Generally speaking, operations research is a branch of industrial engineering that deals with mathematical modeling and analysis of physical or economical models.
Production system: design, monitor and control of complex systems. Production process model, analysis and improvement, e-business system
Logistics: Planning, controlling the effective flow of the material, service, information and capital flows.）
为什么要去美国：
Chinese education of the area is in its early stage。USA is leading in the field, it has complete disciplinary development as well as advanced techniques and knowledge..
再把学校那堆东西搬上来说,为什么选这个学校
Xxx University a world famous and in Industrial Engineering, xxx is leading.
And one of my textbook about production and supply chain which I found very interesting is wrote by Professor Philip in Xxx University.
Actually Xxx’s faculty members are some of the world’s leading expert in the area. I am very interested in the area and want to discuss problems with the Professors.
The professors are actively doing various researches and they give frequently related lectures.
为什么回国而不在美国：
Manufacturing in American is transferring abroad and China has a huge market. As China become the center of global manufacturing and cost of production rises in the near future, efficient production become a key to make a profit. So industrial engineering, especially production system (including advanced production process, correct facility layout, logistics) would be a promising field in China. With the advanced education I received in xxx, I will have great advantage over other people. So I will get a good job in some company as senior consultant.
Even if I cannot find a good job at first, my uncle has a company selling mechanical hands and I can help him designing the process and assembly systems and managing routine tasks. Also I can come to my father’s company. He is in charge of 3 branch offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou.
2) What is your major? Industrial Engineering and Operations Research

同1
Yes, I will pursue my master’s degree in Xxx.
有人说一定要强调回来，我不知道，我当时没说。而且我觉得一上来就说我要回国，会不会显得很假-。-|||,不知道了，自己斟酌把。
I plan to finish my study in 18 months and come back to China.
5) When/where did you get your BS/MS?
I will get my bachelor’s degree in the coming July.
6) What/where are you working now? (*)
I have not worked yet.

18 months.
时间不太长就要注意好好规划回国的计划，因为时间不太长归国计划可信度比较高，要重视。
8) Have you any scholarship?
No
9) What do you want to study in USA?
同1
10) What will you do with your phd work?

(3) 如果找不到好的工作，可以帮帮爸爸或舅舅
16) Can you explain why 90% Chinese students didn't come back?
（1）死不承认
It may used to be the fact, but things are changing during the recent years. As far as I know, more and more students come back to China after they finish their study.
(2) 专业关系
And I also think there is some factor about majors. Some majors in theoretical science may require advanced equipment to do research and China may not have the equipment. So they stayed in USA because of USA can provide them better equipment and environment to do research. But industrial engineering and operations research is a practical subject which is urgently needed in China.
（3）我是个人，整体的情况不能说明我的情况（GRE argu之总体不能推出个体,呵呵）
I am an individual, and I am a 100 percent certain that I will be one of the 10% students who come back。
17) Why do you choose this Univ.?
参见1的学校和归国计划
18) Why do you like your major?

It is very useful. Its application can help increase production efficiency. As companies’ production system becoming more and more complex, many suffer from low efficiency and waste. Industrial engineering can design the process in a scientific way.
Companies and government are paying more and more attention to improve and they always willing to provide many funds in this field.
People who engaged in the field get good salary.
19) Why do you want to study in USA?
参见问题1
自身不足+ 美国先进知识+对我以后回国有很大的帮助
