畢業(yè)于國(guó)內(nèi)知名大學(xué),托福、GRE成績(jī)優(yōu)異,擁有美國(guó)名牌大學(xué)的全額獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金,簽證官卻兩度對(duì)他說(shuō)“不”。問(wèn)題究竟出在哪里?

第一次簽證(2004.5.28):先按指印,右手食指完了是左手食指。
Me: Good morning, sir.
Visa officer: Good morning. Why do you go to us?
Me: I will pursue my PhD in some University at mathematic department.
Visa officer: You get full financial aid?
Me: Yes, I get the full tuition waiver and teaching assistance.
Visa officer: What are you doing now?
Me: I am the undergraduate student in Zhongshan University and I will graduate in the coming June.
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(gè)visa officer在說(shuō)field的時(shí)候沒(méi)有發(fā)d的音,聽起來(lái)很像fell, 糾纏了十幾秒,我才知道他說(shuō)的是field)
Me: Mathematics.
(這時(shí)visa officer就開始撕紙條準(zhǔn)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(shí)visa officer的臉色一下就變了,氣氛也緊張了起來(lái),紙條也不再撕了)
Visa officer: What will you do after graduation?
Me: Working in an insurance company.
(這時(shí)visa officer回過(guò)頭來(lái)再看我的DS表,我就等著他問(wèn)我下一個(gè)問(wèn)題,過(guò)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(shuō)“我不信”,然后就走進(jìn)office了)
太變態(tài)了,連我的就業(yè)協(xié)議書都沒(méi)給機(jī)會(huì)拿出來(lái),無(wú)語(yǔ)……
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(shí)中國(guó)字)
Visa officer:What is this?

Me: what I will do include organizes and analyzes data; make decision according to the result of data analysis. What I will study in auburn includes mathematics and some other courses, such as finance, insurance and so on.
(那個(gè)visa officer還是一直看我的DS表,話也不說(shuō)一句,給我的感覺(jué)基本就是對(duì)牛彈琴)
Me: Sir, do you need me to go on speaking?
(似乎沒(méi)聽到似的)
Me: Sir, do you need me to answer any question?
Visa officer: No.
(過(guò)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(diǎn)評(píng):我覺(jué)得最大的失敗是簽證官可能會(huì)以為就一個(gè)學(xué)校給我獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金我都去,所以我有移民傾向。實(shí)際上,我應(yīng)該主動(dòng)說(shuō),如果我有移民傾向我就不會(huì)只申請(qǐng)6所學(xué)校了,我之所以只申請(qǐng)6所學(xué)校,是因?yàn)槲矣忻鞔_的目標(biāo)才只選了6所學(xué)校。還有我應(yīng)該把我導(dǎo)師的homepage遞上去就好了。另外我應(yīng)該在問(wèn)完是否還需要我回答什么問(wèn)題之后緊跟著說(shuō):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(diǎn)評(píng):從作者的兩次拒簽經(jīng)歷可以看出,哪怕是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的疏忽和失誤都將導(dǎo)致拒簽。簽證官每天要面對(duì)眾多的申請(qǐng)人,與之交談時(shí)間非常有限,所以當(dāng)申請(qǐng)人發(fā)現(xiàn)情況“不妙”的時(shí)候,需要立即彌補(bǔ),馬上做出合理解釋,爭(zhēng)取在簽證官下決心拒簽之前改變不利地位。另外,語(yǔ)言的使用也非常講究。有時(shí)候,一句話換一個(gè)角度來(lái)說(shuō)效果會(huì)大相徑庭。最后,建議申請(qǐng)人把相關(guān)重要文件附上英文版,方便簽證官閱讀了解文件內(nèi)容,因?yàn)楹炞C官對(duì)文件的任何微小的質(zhì)疑都可能導(dǎo)致拒簽。
