发信站: BBS 水木清华站 (Wed Jun  9 13:13:31 1999)

偶昨天下午去签证,偶的号是447. 中午11:30左右从清华北门打的,约12:30到达使馆.
13:10入场, 14:30轮到偶上场.
(场景: 当时有三个签证官在工作,六七为美男,八窗口为金发磨女.偶站的位置正对
八号窗,所以我亲眼目睹了金发磨女的残忍.第一组至少拒掉一半,具体都是啥签证不知道.
但从她连拒第一组前三个,让我手心冒汗.而且她签的巨快.她最后出场,却最先签完
第一组.偶是她的第二组的第二个,第一个(可能)是J-1被据.金发磨女用生硬的汉语
叫到偶的名字时,偶义无反顾地走上前)

M: Good afternoon, Madam. Here are my materials.(塞进偶的材料)
磨女: Thanks.(拿进偶的材料).

磨女: Where are you working now?
M: Institute of xxxx, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

磨女: What are you working on?
M: I am working on project.(偶一时未找到合适的词)

磨女: What project?
M: A state key project.

磨女: (凑上前来,认真地说)What does the project deal with?(大意)
M: The project is used to help users acquire .....

磨女: (做沉思状) How long will you stay in US?
M: four to five years.

磨女: Are you married?(扔出偶的材料)
M: yeah.(偶一看她在OF156表写什么,并留下护照,松了一口气)

M: Thanks.

(注意: 一定不要趴在台子上,除非个子太矮.偶看到几个趴在
柜台上,脸几乎贴着玻璃,样子很难看.)

(心得: 自信是首要的.这虽是老声常谈,但确是关键. 回答问题尽可能简洁.)

下面是偶为签证准备的一些问题和答案,虽然偶没用上.
由于其中凝聚了BBS上其他同仁的高见,特别是<<签证血泪>>一文,
有掠人之美之嫌,故本文不具有任何版权.

   (1)what is your academic background?/what's your major?/
      what are you studying now?(ii)

      A: I have been majoring and working in xxxx for xxx years.

  *(2)how do you know this university?(iii)

   A: My thesis advisor introduced this university to me. He was ever a visiting
      scholar there.

  *(3)why do you want to study in the US?(iii)
    A: As the research and application of my intended field are more advanced
       and better developed in USA than in China.

   (4)why do you want to study in this university?(iii)
    A: This is because I am very interested in their projects and my future
       advisor is a master in his research field. Another important reason
       is that my academic background matches their needs.

   (5)why do you want to study this major?(iii)
    A: I have been a computer fan for about 12 years since I was a high
       school student. I have a strong academic background in this major.
       and what's more, I am interested in it.

  *(6)why do you want to study for Ph.D.?(iii)
      A. I want to better myself and equip myself with higher competence
         than other peers in China.

   (7)why don't you want to get your Ph.D. in China?(iii)
      A. As the research and application in my intended field are
         more advanced and better developed in US than in China.

   (8)what will you plan to do after graduation?
    A. I will return to my country to be a research scientist in my
       current Institute.

   (9)why do you want to go back to China after graduation?
    A. 1. A PhD degree granted by a famous USA university is highly respected
          in China. So it is  very easy for me to find a decent and well paid
          job in China, and the future chances for promotion are also good.
       2. As China is developing, the future chances and challienges in my
          intended field will be more exciting than those in USA.
       3. I love my parents and my sibling, who are all living in China. I
          cann't imagine I could lead a happy life without my family supporting
          me and sharing my pleasure and joy.

   (10)why won't you stay in the US?
    A. US is a very nice country, but it is not a land that everyone wants to
       live there. The primary reason for I come back to China is that it is
       difficult for a me to achieve my life goal in USA, which includes high
       social position and respectable social status.

   (11)You can also make more of this kind of money in US,
    why don't you want to earn more?
    A. Yes. mabe I can earn more if I would stay in USA. But money is not
        the sole stuff we live for. A sense of self-achievement is very
        important for one person, which include high social position and
        respectable career. All these are difficult for a Chinese to achieve
        in USA.

   (12)How can you explain 90% Chinese students won't be back to china?
    A. Every one is a particular case. I think maybe there are thousands of
       reasons for their not returning, but none of them suitable for me.
       There are stronger reasons for me to return to China to pursue my dream
       and ambition, which is: a successful self-achievement, a meaningful
       career and a decent life.
