我的整个签证过程很顺,没有任何惊险。我总结下来,主要得益于以下几点:
1.前期准备工作做的很好。签证前一天,我特地赶到家乐福,买了五个很PP的文件袋。我把I-20,admission letter, program information 放在红色的文件袋,代表喜气。:lol大学成绩单,各类证书,学位学历证书以及GMAT,tofel成绩单放在蓝色的文件袋,大学的时光是最美好的,我要把最美好的回忆放在我最喜欢的颜色的文件袋里。:D父母的工作工资证明,户口簿,房产证,我的工资单,工作证明,简历,还有我工作期间的辉煌资料放在奶黄色的袋子里,好温馨啊。;P银行存款证明,存折,存单,asset list放在透明的袋袋里,这些东西肯定要拿出来show,透明的袋袋里装的东西,一眼就能从外面看到,拿起来比较顺手,省得找了半天也找不到,惹怒Vo。剩下的护照,身份证,DS156,157,158,签证照片等等和签证相关的东西统统放在绿色的袋袋里,上海签过以后拿的是绿条,护照放在绿色的袋子希望给自己带来好运。;P当我抱着五大袋厚厚的材料站到Vo面前的时候,他也很惊讶的看着我。呵呵,在气势上震慑Vo.:victory:
2. 要自信。这一点很重要!整个签证过程中要保持微笑,要和Vo有眼神的交流。我这一点应该做的比较好,以至于vo只看了我的财力证明相关的东西,其他东西都没看。估计我的存款证明也是草草看了一眼,因为中间有两笔大额存款是今年存入的,如果仔细看,肯定会问我,不过我也准备了相关的证明,如果她问我,就告诉她来龙去脉,做到兵来将挡,水来土掩。我的I-20估计也没仔细看,因为I-20上写的是,the length of the program is 3 years.而我只准备了一年的钱,我签证之前还很担心这点呢。准备了很多supporting document,证明这个program读一年是完全可行的。
