帮助。 1 个人简介： 女，今年七月硕士毕业，心理学专业，前往学校：Case Western Reserve University （CWRU），已婚，丈夫已在CWRU学习两年（持F1签证）。 2 签证经过： 由于第一次材料没有带全，所以一共去了两次，分别是21日和22日。 （1）21日的经过： 预约21日的第21号，所以较早进去。在第九号窗口，签证官是一个年轻的平头小伙子， 在他 旁边还有一个较矮的中年男子。一下是我们的对话： M: good morning sir, nice to meet you. (smile.) V: nice to meet you. (looking at my materials) V: so, what will study in the USA? M: I’ll study psychology, my research will focus on the emotion processing….(interrupted by him) V: emotion? (looking at me) M: yes. V: so why you want to study in the USA? M: because there are many advanced labs and many exports in the field in which I’m very interested in. studying there could give me more efficient training than studying here in china….. (interrupted by him) V: so why not stay at the us since……. M: yes, studying there could really give me more efficient training, but for my work I know I could get better position and more opportunities here in china. V: what will you do with your phd? M: do you mean what will I study or my plan for the future? V: your plan. M: my plan is very clear and feasible. I’ll come back and find a research position in a first-class university or in a famous research institute. My research will still focus on the neural mechanism of the emotion processing and its effect on people’s health. Like what our lab has already done, I will also try to cooperate with the doctors in the hospitals because they can provide me some special types of subjects such as patients with mood disorder or patients with cardiovascular disease……(interrupted by him) V: how much do you want to……(can’t remember the details of this question, but I’m sure it’s about the salary I could get when I come back.) M: 8000-10000RMB per month, for the first years after I come back. V: do you know how much a professor could earn now? M: maybe 3000RMB per month. V: so how could you expect you can earn 8000-10000 when you come back? M: 3000RMB is only the salary, besides this they could also get many 奖金(I forgot how to say it in English at that time, so I just say it in chinese) f or many reasons. According to the rules in our country, a researcher could get 5-10 percent from the research funds for their personal life (I learned t his from some of my classmates and I had also got confirmation about this from a teacher, so I don’t think I cheated him on this question). Certainly I do not want to cheat the money in this way, what I want to say is I believe I could live a good life here in china. V: give me your GRE and TOEFL scores. (and I showed him) V: so what does your husband do? M: he is studying in the case western reserve university now. V: will you go to the CWRU with your husband? M: you mean go to America with F2 visa? V: Yes. M: no, I will not. I’m a very self-respect woman, I do love my husband very much, but I still have my own career goal. If I just want to go America, I might marry with him two years ago before he left china. V: so why could you get married two years ago? M: at that time, we had known for each other for two years, we are all adults and we could make our own decisions. V: have you some pictures of you two? (I showed him our pictures) V: ….your husband’s name, birthday, major? M: ….. V: (silent, kept looking at the computer, then talked with the man beside him) what’s your husband’s surname? First name? M: ……………. V: sorry I can’t believe your story about you and your husband. We can’t find the information of husband. Maybe you could come here later with the visa material of your husband (then 盖章 on my visa). M: (I got a little angry because he used the “story” to describe the our marriage), sorry sir, I think it’s unfair to reject me only because I’ll study in the same university with my husband. please….(later I felt regret to use the word “unfair”, because the VO might be very sensitive to the words like this and I think it’s not very polite to say in this way) V: do you want to see your husband? do you want to study in the CWRU? I think it will be easy for you to get his visa material? (give me a blue paper and the two receipts) bring this, the copy of your husband and all your documents later, you needn’t make another appointment. M: is a fax one ok? How about tomorrow? V: that’s ok. M: thank you sir. 回到学校后：郁闷，但还是赶紧和老公通了电话，商定晚上收传真的时间。然后向学校请假 于第二天离校。 (2) 22日的经过： 因为不用预约，所以还是很早就进去。最初没有分到昨天那个签证官的那一组，轮到我时， 我向签证官解释了一下自己的情况，他便把我转到昨天那个签证官那里了。签证官看到昨天 给我的那张蓝色的纸以后就向我要我老公的签证传真件。一直不说话，看电脑，很久。突然 又要看我们的结婚证，看了一会儿，最终决定给我签证。 M: thank you sir. V: (nodded) please wait at the no. 10 window. M: bye-bye, sir. V: good bye. 前面一篇写了详细经过，这里想写一些自己的感受。纯属个人观点，时间紧的朋友可以不看 的。 这两天的经历让我觉得，自信十分重要。但自信不是平空而来。首先25问一定要准备充分。 我用了一周的时间打草稿，一周的时间和老公对练，最后两天还和一个口语很好且思路非常 清晰的同学对练，并获得了她的宝贵意见。平时只要有自己单独的机会就会不断练习。其 次，材料一定要准备的充分且有条例。所有的重要文件我都用透明的塑料文件夹（两个边是 开着的那种）装好，并标上标签。我不知道这些小动作能对签证官有什么实质的影响，但这 样做至少会给我自己打气。还有，就是要注意签证当天的形象。签证前两天，我发动了以前 本科宿舍和现在研究生宿舍的姐妹帮我配衣服，签证当天还画了淡妆。因为我已结婚，觉得 应该给人一种成熟的感觉。对于未婚的女孩子来说，正式场合讲究一下穿着（但不意味着一 定穿职业套装，我觉得整洁大方且适合自己的风格最重要）也是合理的，毕竟，能够读研究 生的年纪已经不小了。 除了这些很个人的感受外，还有一点我也想说说，就是在准备每一个问题时，一定要注意在 开始的两三句内把自己的想说的要点说出来。开始我准备的答案时总是在每说完一个观点后 就开始展开。老公和我的同学都觉得这样不好。实际签证时也确实这样，签证官好像不会在 一个问题上容我说很多，所以最好在最短的时间内告诉她对你的回答的要点。如果她没有打 断，就可以继续发挥，当然这些发挥的内容事先也是要有所准备。就这些了，还有想说的 是，整个签证的经过还是给人一种屈辱的感觉（尽管签证官们表现的都比较有礼貌，且工作 态度很认真）。虽然自己不愿承认，但还是有种乞求的感觉。不然，签证前几天自己也不会 那么紧张。尤其是看到那些满头白发的老人连探亲都被拒时，慢慢走开的样子，就更让人伤 心（再有机会和签证官说上话之前，他们可能已经站了几个小时）。可能还是因为我们的国 家不够强大的缘故吧。希望我们将来学成后都能够为自己的国家出分力，希望我们的儿女不 会面对今天这样尴尬的局面。 祝大家健康。 MicroEdu.com 微迪留学 版权所有 © 1999-2003 webmaster@microedu.com |
