然后三号窗口的女签证官叫到我了,我上前说 good afternoon,madam。
她说hello。
我说,well, hello。(汗)
“So, why this college?”
“Because it’s a prestigious college in the US, it would offer me solid fundamental education, and it has also offered me financial aid.”
“…..”默默地看电脑。
我当时以为冷场的时间很长,心里想,一定要说点什么,所以接着说
“It is also the alma mater of some American writers, so I think it would offer me good training in writing, I am very interested in writing and my article was published. Do you want to see it?”
“Sure.”
于是我把文章拿给她看。
她看了一遍,评价了一句。然后说let me see…….Your parents’ certification of income….. {翻中秘传给她的材料}
“Actually my family would support me by savings.”(递上存款证明)
她看了一眼,然后就撕条,把两张certificate,scholarship /offer letter和sevis fee receipt 都还给我了。
从我观察其他人的问题来看,如果我没有拿出文章,她应该会问,how many other school accepted you? What are they? 和 Why did you choose this one?然后还是问存款证明。只不过我证明为什么要去这所学校已经证明得很充分了,所以她没有问我这几个问题。
总之,在我在等待的时候没有看到被拒签的。见到了很多去读大学的f1,后来在邮寄处又都见到了。尽管过程并不水,但是大家获签还是顺利。毕竟中国现在也是land of opportunities, 我想签证官对大家滞留不归的恐惧一定比起几十年前小了很多。当年拿offer容易,拿visa难,现在应该是倒过来了。
