10 tips for Visa
我以前在网站上找到的,大家参考啊。
10 points to remember when applying for a student visa
1. Ties to home country: Under U.S. law, all applicants for nonimmigrant visas are viewed as intending to immigrate to the U.S. until they can convince the consular officer that this is not the intention. You must therefore be able to show that you have reasons (ties) for returning to your home country that are stronger than those for remaining in the United States. "Ties" to your home country are the things/reasons that bind you to your hometown, homeland, or current place of residence. For example; your job, family, financial prospects that you own or will inherit, investments, etc. If you are a prospective undergraduate student, the interviewing officer may ask about your specific intentions or promise of future employment, family or other relationships, educational objectives, grades, long-range plans, and career prospects in your home country. Each person's situation is different, of course, and there is no magic explanation or single document, certificate, or letter, which can guarantee visa issuance.
2. English: Anticipate that the interview will be conducted in English and not in your native language. One suggestion is to practice English conversation with a native speaker before the interview. If you are coming to the United States solely to study intensive English, be prepared to explain how English will be useful for you in your home country.
3. Speak for Yourself: Do not bring parents, family members or friends with you to the interview. The consular officer wants to interview you only. A negative impression is created if you are not prepared to speak on your own behalf.
4. Know the program and how it fits your career plans: If you are not able to articulate the reasons you will study in a particular program in the United States, you may not succeed in convincing the consular officer that you are indeed planning to study, rather than to immigrate. You should also be able to explain how studying in the United States relates to your future professional career when you return home.
5. Be concise: Because of the volume of applications received, all consular officers are under considerable time pressure to conduct a quick and efficient interview. They must make a decision on the impressions they form during the first minute or two of the interview. Consequently, what you say first and the initial impression you create are critical to your success. Keep your answers to the officer's questions short and to the point.
6. Supplemental documentation: It should be clear at a glance, to the consular officer, what written documents you are presenting and what they signify. Lengthy written explanations cannot be quickly read or evaluated. Remember that you will have 2 to 3 minutes of interview time. Even though you or your sponsor must show sufficient funding for at least one year of attendance, when applying for a visa, the United States. Consulate/Embassy may require evidence of funds for the entire period of study in the United States.
7. Not all countries are equal: Applicants from countries suffering economic problems or from countries where many students have remained in the United States, as immigrants will have more difficulty getting visas. Statistically, applicants from those countries are more likely to immigrate to the United States. They are also more likely to be asked about job opportunities at home after their study in the United States.
8. Employment: Your main purpose of coming to the United States should be to study, not for the chance to work before or after graduation. While many students do work off-campus during their studies, such employment is incidental to their main purpose of completing their U.S. education. You must be able to clearly articulate your plan to return home at the end of your program. If your spouse is also applying for an accompanying F-2 visa, be aware that F-2 dependents cannot, under any circumstances, be employed in the United States. If asked, be prepared to address what your spouse intends to do with his or her time while in the United States. Volunteer work and attending school (part-time only) are permitted activities.
9. Dependents remaining at home: If your spouse and children are remaining behind in your country, be prepared to address how they will support themselves in your absence. This can be an especially tricky area if you are the primary source of income for your family. If the consular officer gains the impression that your family members will need you to remit money from the United States in order to support them, your student visa application will almost certainly be denied. If your family does decide to join you at a later time, it is helpful to have them apply at the same post where you applied for your visa.
10. Maintain a positive attitude. Do not engage the consular officer in an argument. If you are denied a student visa, ask the officer for a list of documents he or she would suggest you bring to overcome the refusal, and try to get the reason you were denied in writing. |
