第一次签证（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: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?
（那个visa officer在说field的时候没有发d的音，听起来很像fell, 纠缠了十几秒，我才知道他说的是field）
Me: Mathematics.
(这时visa officer就开始撕纸条准备给我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.
（这时visa officer的脸色一下就变了，气氛也紧张了起来，纸条也不再撕了）
Visa officer: What will you do after graduation?
Me: Working in an insurance company.
(这时visa officer回过头来再看我的DS表，我就等着他问我下一个问题，过了7秒钟)
Visa officer: I am sorry.
（我被拒签了）
Me: Why？
Visa officer: I don't believe you will come back.
Me: Why you don't believe?
(他还是说“我不信”，然后就走进office了)
太变态了，连我的就业协议书都没给机会拿出来，无语……
第二次（2004.6.15）：和上回一样按指纹，
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.
(我把我的就业协议给了他，但他不识中国字)
Visa officer：What is this？
Me: This is protocol. I will work in PICC. Do you know PICC？
Visa officer: Yes.
Me: This is the protocol with PICC, I will work in this company after my graduation.
Visa officer: What will you study?
Me: Statistics and actuary math.

(然后那个visa officer就不说话一直看我的DS表)
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.
(那个visa officer还是一直看我的DS表，话也不说一句，给我的感觉基本就是对牛弹琴)
Me: Sir, do you need me to go on speaking?
（似乎没听到似的）
Me: Sir, do you need me to answer any question?
Visa officer: No.
(过了10秒钟我又被拒签了)
Me: Why?
Visa officer: Next one……
自我点评:我觉得最大的失败是签证官可能会以为就一个学校给我奖学金我都去，所以我有移民倾向。实际上，我应该主动说，如果我有移民倾向我就不会只申请6所学校了，我之所以只申请6所学校，是因为我有明确的目标才只选了6所学校。还有我应该把我导师的homepage递上去就好了。另外我应该在问完是否还需要我回答什么问题之后紧跟着说: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.
专家点评：从作者的两次拒签经历可以看出，哪怕是一点点的疏忽和失误都将导致拒签。签证官每天要面对众多的申请人，与之交谈时间非常有限，所以当申请人发现情况“不妙”的时候，需要立即弥补，马上做出合理解释，争取在签证官下决心拒签之前改变不利地位。另外，语言的使用也非常讲究。有时候，一句话换一个角度来说效果会大相径庭。最后，建议申请人把相关重要文件附上英文版，方便签证官阅读了解文件内容，因为签证官对文件的任何微小的质疑都可能导致拒签。 |
