快叫到100号,可我的53还没叫道,有些着急了,会不会是因为我的DS2019上的错误被发现
了(学校把我的出生地填错了)?正在这时,9号窗上闪动了53! 就是Tim!
I: Good morning Sir,
VO: Good morning. How are you?
I: Fine, thanks.
VO: (拿着我的check list),Please give me your ……
I: 赶紧往里边介绍边递。收了offer letter, CV, webpage of future boss, reprints,
递毕业论文和学位证书没有要。(心里强烈预感要被check,没哪个签经里说一上来就挑材
料的,尤其是给毕业论文和学位证时,他嘴里叨念着we do not need that. just your p
ublications)
VO (边快速翻手里的表格边问): How long have you worked?
I: About half year.
VO: Then you get your Ph.D. degree recently.
I: yeah, I got my Ph.D. degree in last July.
VO(指着我的offer letter): Oh,it is three years, right?
I: One year at the first instance and the position can be renewed for a total
of 3 years.
VO: When will your wife go to the US?
I: My wife and bb will go there one month later after I settle down.
VO: So you can get a position of full professor in your institute after you fi
nishing the postdoctoral program.
I (惊讶中): Yeah.
VO: Can you say something about **?
I: 专业问题早有准备,blabla……
VO (继续快速翻动着手里的材料)
I (赶紧套近乎): Are you Tim Smith?
VO(抬头惊讶的望我): How do you know my name?
I: I saw your photo on the website of sina.com.
VO: Yeah, it is me.
笑笑后,在电脑上敲了几下,整理了手中的材料并在我的DS2019上写了两个单词,拿出我
的签证费收据第二联,划了两杠,抬头对我说,I can give you the visa, but I have
to check you. 我申辩了两句我是做基础研究的什么的,没用。安慰了一下我后问我的手
机号码对吗,并画了一下。随后在我的护照和另一张纸上敲章。我废话似地问他要多久,
他说3~6周。我又问他我表上的错误,他说你问UCLA要新表好了,下次来拿Visa时带来。
