me: Good afternoon, sir.
vo: good afeernoon. What's your name?
me: xxx. I want to apply B1 visa becasue my paper was appcepted by a conference of IEEE Communication Society. I wanna to give an oral presentation on my paper in the conference. This is my application document package, and the cover letter is the checklist of my application package.
vo is scaning my documents, while I explain the context of documents during the scaning............
在vo看到finicial support的材料时,赶快把清华和IEEE给的offer show给vo to prove it is enough to cover my travel expense
vo: Do you go to the conference alone?
me: No, my advisor in Microsoft Research Asia may also attend the conference. But he already has the green card of American, it is not necessary for him to apply visa here. So I apply the visa alone.
( 把Microsoft的招牌祭出来当护身符, hehe )
vo: blabla~
me: blabla~(常规问题,没印象了)
vo: Is you a PhD? (It seems that vo is impressed by my research achievements according to the grant from IEEE)
me: No, I am a master student. (悄悄的臭美一下,呵呵)
vo: Are you majored in EE?
me: 一听到background,马上开始担心专业敏感。No, my major is computer software engineering, but I foucus on the software design and development in networking and wireless communications. Do you want to see my student card?
vo: yes
me: 又把清华的学生证当护身符show出去了,呵呵
vo开始敲键盘,一阵沉默............
me: (开始表决心) I am eager to apply the visa, becasue I want to establish the face to face connections with world-famed sciencitists in my field during the conference.
vo笑了笑
me: 开始窃喜。
