2015/06 已豁免J2回国申F1 通过

POCOCOUID: 3622752

之前曾发帖询问过这种情况被拒签的风险，详见：

由于网上可搜到的此类经验几乎没有，律师一般也不受理非移民签证的咨询，所以把我的经验分享在这里~

基本情况：
2013年以J2身份到美国，2014年秋季以J2身份入学攻读master of science in data science；2015年5月J1收到豁免的No Objection Letter, 2015年6月10日J2在成都领事馆进行F1申请的面谈。经历前一阵的签证系统延误后，6月24日issue。

背景：
曾持有B1/B2, J2身份，无拒签史。
另外虽然我是2014年秋季入学的，但2015年6月签发的i-20上写的是initial attendance。我之前也就此事问过学校，学校表示无碍。

面谈准备资料：
除i-20等必备文件外，还有：
本科学位证、毕业证原件和成绩单；
GT成绩单；
入学时的AD letter；个人简历（没有科研经验所以就把找工作用的简历稍微修改了一下）；
study plan；
在读一年的在读证明和成绩单；
导师的CV；
J2的DS2019；
J1的护照复印件、DS2019复印件和CV；
￥50万资金证明。

面谈过程：
领事（以下简称C）：Have you been to the US before?
我（一下简称A）：Yes, I held a J2 status, and I was enrolled in this school last fall with this J2 status.
C: J2?
A: Yes my husband is doing a postdoc program in xxx national laboratory, and his program will be finished no later than May 2016.
C: What is data science?
A: Data science is a combination of mathematics, computer science and business intelligence.
C: Statistics, computer science and what?
A: Business. We study data science to solve practical business problems.
C: Is it about security or ...?
A: No, there's no security involved in this area of study.
C: What will you do after graduation?
A: I had many years of work experience in China's financial market, and studying data science in this school will help me strengthen my technical skills. After graduation I'll come back to China and try to find a job in the business with, hopefully, a higher pay.
C: In a bank?
A: Yes in the banking industry... in the financial market.
C: (敲键盘若干分钟后) It seems that last time you applied in Guangzhou?
A: No I applied my previous visa in Shanghai.
C: Oh never mind. （拿起i-20）That's a lot of money to pay.
A: Actually the tuition for this school is pretty reasonable (唰地一声掏出资金证明) and this is my certificate of ...
C: I see (其实根本没有看) Did you pay the tuition yourself?
A: Yes I had worked for many years before going to the US and have some personal savings.
C: Where is your husband living?
A: He's living in xxx, doing his postdoc research...
C: Oh you live from a long distance.
A: Yes...

基本问题就是这些了。中间领事带着我的i-20离开了大约5-7分钟的样子，回来时就i-20开了一句玩笑但是声音太小我没有听清。。希望对有同样问题的盆友有帮助~
