I am checked.

Yesterday morning the Consular Officer only asked me six questions. Following I represent our dialogue.

W (me): Good morning, sir. Nice to meet you!
C (Consular Officer): Good morning. How are you?
W: Fine, thank you! And how about you?
C: Fine. So you are going to study in the US?
W: Yes, I will go to CWRU to study for my PhD in polymer science and engineering.
C: Why this university?
W: CWRU is famous for its polymer program. And last summer I met a famous professor from Case, he encouraged me to apply the department.
C: How will you support your study?
W: They awarded me a fellowship. Would like to see my admission letter and offer letter? (I gave him the admission letter and offer letter. He looked at the letters and nodded.)
C: Good. What is your plan after you get your degree?
W: I will come back to **University.
C: Where is **University?
W: It is in Fujian Province. We are building a new campus in Xiamen City. I could find a promising position when I come back. You know, Xiamen is the best city in Fujian Province. Oh, we are now in another city, ***.
C: Do you know how can you get a fellowship?
W: My GPA should be higher than **. I think it is also based on my past academic achievements. I have several papers. (The offer should be owing to your help, but I did not tell him directly.) I bring my papers here, would you like to have a look?
C: Yes.
I showed him twelve of my papers, including four submitted manuscripts. As soon as he got my papers (he did not read a word in the papers), he took out a piece of blue paper (At this time I know I will be checked).
C: You are great. But we have to send your materials to Washington. …
W: Sir, you mean I am checked?
C: Yes, please wait for our news. We will call you after we finish it. …
…

In fact, I am lucky. The Consular Officer I met is the best one in Guangzhou. Unfortunately, I am still checked. I think it should be owing to the fact that my major is sensitive. I have to wait for at least one month.


附：6.19广州形势：

我约的是一号，但去得比较晚。好像F1不多。跟我一起进去的纽约州立大学的dd自费过。我和这位dd都在小glassboy处。比较幸运。另外一个在我后面的被分到小胡子处，悲剧。我还看到一jj说的很流利也很多但被小胡子剧。

我把广州沙面签证处的平面图画出来，给大家参考。我不是土木系的，画得很烂，请务笑。
