感谢留学群liuxuequn.com,让我学到很多签证的事宜,这里简要的叙述一下昨天的签证情况,以作回报!
我是从外地到的北京,然后找玉泉路的如家快捷酒店住下,这里的卫生很好,然后餐厅的份量很足,感觉很满意。
我预的是上午9:30的。我不到9点就到了签证服务大厅那里,然后等到9:30准时叫号排队,验护照,对照你是否在预约之列,然后放行,经过一个20米左右的通道,在进入签证大厅前,又有武警验护照,然后放行,等待安检。安检其实是什么都不用脱的,就是不要带他们不准带入的东西就行。然后就进入了签证大厅,排队交表,给你一个大牌子,然后又是排队取指纹,然后就是排队等待面谈了。
因为我取指纹我我们对的第一个,所以,面签是我也是第一个,所以,非常顺利,就问了一个问题,看了一个文件-offer letter, 估计就一分钟搞定。
VO: Nice to meet you.
Me: Nice to meet you too.
VO: So what will you do in .....?
Me: I will go to xxx University to pursue my postdoc training for xxx.
VO: Could you please give me your offer letter?
Me: Of course, here you are.
VO在我的DS2019表上签字,撕黄纸条,然后就说,congratulations, Welcome to America!
Me: Thank you so much! Bye
就这样过了,感觉好快!我准备的一大堆东西都没用上,但是我估计是签证官被我拿去的东西给镇住了。所以很顺利的就pass。然后就是出签证大厅,返回到签证服务大厅办理邮寄手续。然后下午返回家。
我观察了一下,4月10日多数是探亲和商务旅游的,学生或者年轻的J1比较少,估计只占1/4.其实我学的是敏感专业-biology,但是没有check,感觉很幸运。祝福大家签证顺利!!!
