05.08 GZ 只读语言F1 1000 pass

rqg0717UID: 2421510

签证之前，在寄托努力挖掘了不少好东东...
但是发现很少有关于读语言F1的签经，而且像我这种情况比较特殊的，更是没有...
首先，简单介绍一下本人的背景。
大学本科，读的军校，专业是计算机。后来由于种种原因，毕业后转到地方，在珠海一家高新私企做程序员，工作至今已5年，中途没有跳过槽，现职位技术部经理。07年7月结婚，婚后不久老婆大人就舍我一人独守空房，远赴美国读Ph.D。本人不甘寂寞，于是乎向公司申请赴美国学习语言，其实就是想去看老婆。因为公司已有派遣员工去欧洲等国培训的先例，很快公司就准了，学费回来给报销，但是停薪半年，NND，为了看老婆拼了！！！
鉴于前期如何准备资料和如何去签证的问题，寄托上已经有详细的都不能再详细的前辈们的金光闪闪的帖子在那里一闪一闪放光芒...
所以以下只列出材料清单和当时与VO的详细对话。

1)        Can you speak English?
Just a little, but I am willing to try.

2)        What are you going to do in the United States?
My company sent me to USA to improve my English proficiency, and to get to know the American culture and do some research of the market needs, because my company has been planning to tapping into the international market for a long time and has already started cooperating with a company named America XX in the States. My company has been sending employees abroad for language training and market research since 2006, and in this year, I got the chance to go abroad and take a English program in America, for in the future, I might be in charge of part of the business in the States.
And here are the agreement I signed for my training, the employment contract and the introduction to my company. Thank you.

3)        Who is going to fund you?
In training agreement, I agreed that I take a legal 6-month off from my company and go to America for the training program at XXX University. My company, of course, will pay the tuition of Language program after I finish it and take the language certificate from XXX University.

4)        Why did your company send you broad?
The major overseas projects will be in charge by me. My boss thinks that I am the right person to take this responsibility, and I told you my firm has been sending employees abroad in important positions for training. It is my turn for this year.

5)        How do you know about XXX University?
My company does not have a fixed program for us to take, and my wife is at XXX right now and I talked to my company and requested to apply for the English program at XXX so that I can be together with her during the time I am in America.

6)        Your wife is in the US?
Yes, my wife is in the US. She is taking the PhDs program at XXX Univ. Her major is Educational Psychology. This is my certificate of marriage.

7)        Do you plan to apply for admission to XXX University when you finish language studies?
No. Because I just got promoted in my company and I love doing what I have been doing at work, plus I will have higher pay and better working environment when I come back and start being in charge of the oversea business of my company. I have already signed the employment contract for the next year, and I will have to pay a lot of money if I violated it and quit my job.

8)        How long will you study in USA?
About 4 months.

9)        Why it says 12 months in the I-20?
I think all the I-20s this program issued have a period of 12 months, but I am only taking a course of one semester which is about 4 months.

10)        You have graduated from the military academy?
I have got Bachelor degree in PLA Army Command College. My major is Computer Science and Technology. I do not have a military status now. Here is the notarization. Thanks.

11)        What is the major responsibility of your job?
My position is XXX manager. I am responsible for XXX development and XXX management. My major job is to be in charge of a team of software specialists, who design, develop and manage the systems for XXX.

12)        Will you come back to China?
Yes, of course.
First of all, I have to perform the contract that was signed with my company. Otherwise, I have to pay a lot of money to my company.
Secondly, my house, my family, my friends and my career are all in China.
Finally, my wife is coming back to China to teach in a college, so I don’t see any reason to be apart from her again.

补充中间一个问题，VO曾用“标准”的普通话问我，你的公司是国营吗？
昨天忘记了，是用中文问的。

那天排队的时候注意观察了一下，F1签证好像没有谁“吃水果”的，都被VO纠缠了很久，而且有好几个被拒的~ 所以大家一定要认真准备，深刻理解“VO都是假设你有移民倾向的”。充分准备了，才能有信心。
最后一句话，很好的和VO对话是为了能够及时的递资料，递资料才是关键。

窃窃的问一句，big cong是什么意思啊？:confused:

“1)        Can you speak English?
Just a little, but I am willing to try.”
大哥，你也太谦虚了吧。洋洋洒洒的准备了一大篇还说just a little~~

“那天排队的时候注意观察了一下，F1签证好像没有谁“吃水果”的，都被VO纠缠了很久，而且有好几个被拒的~”
看来真的如大家所说的一半被拒的都不想上来发帖的。天天都有人说吃水果，看来碰壁的人也很多阿，真是要好好准备啊！
对了，都忘了恭喜了！:handshake

rqg0717UID: 2421510

其实说Just a little, but I am willing to try. 完全是早就想好的应对策略。
为了是提示VO放慢语速，唯恐一上来就跟不上VO的速度，没听清VO说什么就被拒了，岂不是冤枉。
就这样，我中间还pardon过一次呢...
战略上藐视，战术上重视 很重要
