签证过程:
2号窗口,白人女VO
ME:(微笑)Good morning.
VO:(微笑) Good morning. The J1 visa?
ME: Yes.
这时候VO就开始在电脑上打字,没说话。我的DS2019,DS156/157/158和护照在她旁边放着。
ME:do you need any documents?
VO: yes, but wait a minuet.
ME:okay
然后VO继续打字,没看我。
ME:I don't know if you notice that today is my birthday.
VO:(非常惊奇)oh,really?(然后开始翻我的2019,发现真的是,做了个很可爱的表情)
VO:(继续打字)do you have any birthday plan?
ME:if get this visa, i will go to have a big meal.
VO(笑):could i see your invitation letter?
ME: of course, and also my research plan(我把研修计划也顺便递过去了). i will do a research work in Columbia university medical center and this research experience will help me get my master degree in my own university.

VO: (一边看一遍说)oh i know it, blablabla……(接下来说了一大堆我也不知道她在说啥,说得很快声音也不大)
然后她又看了一下我的DS2019,说:who will pay for your tirp?
ME: my father
VO: what kind of work your father do?
ME: senior technical stuff and here is his income declearation(我把爸爸的收入证明贴在玻璃上示意VO看一下,她就扫了一9眼), and this is his money deposit(我把存款证明在贴玻璃上让她看)
VO(根本没看): oh i don't need it.
这时VO已经在我的DS2019上签字了,我心中暗喜表面故作平静。
VO:new york city, very expensive.(一边说一边把我的邀请函什么的还有DS2019递出来,还有取护照用的那个卡片)
ME: so i will try my best.
VO: study hard and happy birthday!
ME:(大笑)thank you and have a good day!
3 和我一起签证的人都穿的很正式,大冷的天就穿个衬衫和西服,冻得直哆嗦。我觉得没有必要这样严肃,本来我也带了很正式的衣服,结果前一天沈阳下大雨降温了,特别冷,我就把衣服扔宾馆了,直接穿个大厚毛衣,牛仔裤,运动鞋,就这样就进领事馆了,跟我一起进去的全比我穿的正式,我也没感觉耽误什么。而且面谈的过程不是那么严肃的,这是个交流的过程,我和VO也说了很多与签证没有任何关系的话(连birthday plan 这些都说了),谈话气氛很轻松愉快,VO始终面带微笑,我也轻松不少。
