第一次簽證(2004.5.28):先按指印,右手食指完了是左手食指。

Visa officer:You have been to Japan?
Me: Yes, it was organized by Guangdong province education office and we communicated with Japanese university students and we visited Japanese university.
Visa officer: What field?
(那個visa officer在說field的時候沒有發(fā)d的音,聽起來很像fell, 糾纏了十幾秒,我才知道他說的是field)
Me: Mathematics.
(這時visa officer就開始撕紙條準備給我visa了,本人自然是欣喜若狂)
Visa officer: What specific major?
Me: I would like to study statistics and actuary math.
(這時visa officer的臉色一下就變了,氣氛也緊張了起來,紙條也不再撕了)
Visa officer: What will you do after graduation?
Me: Working in an insurance company.
(這時visa officer回過頭來再看我的DS表,我就等著他問我下一個問題,過了7秒鐘)
Visa officer: I am sorry.
(我被拒簽了)
Me: Why?
Visa officer: I don't believe you will come back.
Me: Why you don't believe?
(他還是說“我不信”,然后就走進office了)
太變態(tài)了,連我的就業(yè)協(xié)議書都沒給機會拿出來,無語……
第二次(2004.6.15):和上回一樣按指紋,
Me: Good morning, sir.
Visa officer: Good morning. You will study in Auburn.
Me: Yes.
Visa officer: Who will pay for you?
Me: Some University. I get the full financial aid.
(然后visa officer看了我的I-20表)
Visa officer: Do you know why you are refused last time?
Me: Last time the visa officer asked me what I would do after my graduation, I said I would work in an insurance company. Then I had not time to show my material before he refused me.
Visa officer: Do you take your material this time.
Me: Yes, here.
(我把我的就業(yè)協(xié)議給了他,但他不識中國字)
Visa officer:What is this?

(那個visa officer還是一直看我的DS表,話也不說一句,給我的感覺基本就是對牛彈琴)
Me: Sir, do you need me to go on speaking?
(似乎沒聽到似的)
Me: Sir, do you need me to answer any question?
Visa officer: No.
(過了10秒鐘我又被拒簽了)
Me: Why?
Visa officer: Next one……
與簽證官交流要察言觀色、掌握技巧
自我點評:我覺得最大的失敗是簽證官可能會以為就一個學校給我獎學金我都去,所以我有移民傾向。實際上,我應該主動說,如果我有移民傾向我就不會只申請6所學校了,我之所以只申請6所學校,是因為我有明確的目標才只選了6所學校。還有我應該把我導師的homepage遞上去就好了。另外我應該在問完是否還需要我回答什么問題之后緊跟著說:Sir, I just want to study in this university, even myself I never think of staying in your country and if you think I have immigrant trend please ask me some more questions and I am confident I can erase your doubt and hesitate. I don't want to destroy my future just because one or two sentences.
專家點評:從作者的兩次拒簽經歷可以看出,哪怕是一點點的疏忽和失誤都將導致拒簽。簽證官每天要面對眾多的申請人,與之交談時間非常有限,所以當申請人發(fā)現(xiàn)情況“不妙”的時候,需要立即彌補,馬上做出合理解釋,爭取在簽證官下決心拒簽之前改變不利地位。另外,語言的使用也非常講究。有時候,一句話換一個角度來說效果會大相徑庭。最后,建議申請人把相關重要文件附上英文版,方便簽證官閱讀了解文件內容,因為簽證官對文件的任何微小的質疑都可能導致拒簽。
