昨晚回到深圳,已经筋疲力尽,抱歉现在才写,尽量真实记忆,大家有选择的参考吧
广州已经渐入高峰,7点赶往使馆门口排队,已经站了50余人,但是探亲最多,商务其次,F1最少,排队的时候只认识了3个F1。天气酷热异常,手机不让带,钱包可以,门口有10元存包。两道保安关口检查护照(不用电话预约号),有条形码的可以优先排队。每四人一批放进第一道门,绕过一个小院子,进入签证大厅,排队交表,墙上有告示需要交的材料,交表处是一个中国人,交完表后去指定的窗口排队。一共1、2、3、4,四个窗口,大概8点40,1号和3号开窗,分别是金发PPmm(副领事),亚裔GG(大黑框眼镜,头发有点乱),4号窗一直看不见。偶排在2号,等了很久,大家微有怨言,才出现一个棕发mm,比1号偏胖,一直皱着眉头,满脸不开心,偶这队的人开始怕怕。1号比较会笑,速度也快,给了华为去开会的,探亲的基本拒。3号看不清。2号估计是新手,每个都纠缠不休,探亲的基本15分钟,期间还叫来中文翻译(听不懂探亲大伯的白话普通话),眉头一直紧锁,偶排大概第10个左右,之前只有一个过(口语很好),探亲也基本拒,会议的拒一个(2000)。快到偶的时候,偶站在等待的第一排,MM和前一个人谈话,竟然冷冷快速的瞟了我一眼,还好我一直镇定的看着她。10点,MM叫名字,抱着材料走上去。
Me:Good Morning, Mam, Nice to meet you.
VO(仍旧面无表情):Nice to meet you too. Could you put your fingers on the screen of the machine? Left and then right.
Me(Did as vo directed and said thanks when she finished scanning my finger marks)
Vcould you show me your SEVIS receipt?
Me:sure
VO(found a question began to badger): In your DS and SEVIS, your addresses are different. I am quite confussed about it.
Me(well prepared ): explain...

Me: I am the HR manager in XXXX company, and I majored in Economy and Management in College.

Me:No, I work in XXXX Company, HR is Human Resource. I am in charge of....

VDo you have any certification of your father?
Me:sure, Here you are.
VAny money certification?
Me: sure, Actually I made a checklist. Here you are.
VO(smiling):I just want the original.(Smiled again when saw my checklist)
VO(kindly pointed at a date on bank certifiacate):Why are all the dates on the certificates July?
Me: The school opens on Auguest and I plan to pay tuition after I get visa.
Vno, no,no. How could you save money on July?
Me(a little bit confused and looked at the dates she was pointing): Oh, it is due time
VO(realized suddenly and ablush):O, due time! Sorry
Mesmiling)It\'s ok.
At that time, I was confident about my visa
VO(faster): why do you choose ILR, if you work as a HR?
Me: HR is...
VO(interrupted and ripped the green paper):Ok, I will issue you visa, please come to get it tomorrow afternoon.
Me:Thanks and have a nice day.
VO(smiled) :You too.
整个过程4-5分钟
something to share:
1、mock很重要。偶之前mock 了一个多月,得到了很多朋友的帮助,很感激。建议大家mock的时候拿出自己真正的问题和有经验的朋友讨论,多挑刺,不怕被mock rejected。还有微笑,在mock的时候尽量养成习惯。
2、轻松自然。偶当时有其他想法,不太care这个visa,还有点心不在焉,给人的感觉反而比较轻松。建议不能像我这样心态(有点复杂,借鉴价值不大),但是放轻松是前提,有很多方法,偶的偏好是观察别人,不太爱在排队的时候说话。
3、注意一言一行。VO在和前一个人interview的时候瞟了偶一眼(对每个人她都这么做),正好偶也在观察她,那一眼非常关键,建立了信任。
4、communication。偶是做HR的,比较容易和陌生人交流。不能急于表现自己,不能机械的叫什么做什么。要让对方知道你时刻在care她,当时的世界里只有你们两个,你很信任她,你也是她可以信任的。这个交流过程可以从按指纹开始,适当轻松一点。口语好有帮助,提高communication的质量,但是慢慢说也没有什么太大的问题。
5、eye contact。工作的时候通常是偶interview别人,这次被别人interview,所以当她盯着偶的时候,偶的第一反应是比她盯的还要大,而且脸向玻璃窗移近了少许,说着说着心里觉得好笑,自然而然就微笑出来了,所以一点都不紧张。
6、材料越齐越好。偶抱材料的两只胳膊到现在还酸疼不已,建议bank documents比较多的做一个checklist。偶的这个checklist帮了很大忙,VO一看就smile,因为她的数学实在不好。
7、关于着装。偶有工作经验,所以穿了一套正式(偏老气)的套装,建议条件不错的MM们可以戴一件好的首饰,高雅且不夸张。
8、90天不是那么严格,偶是94天。SEVIS一定要先交,我们几个F1都是一开始就看收据。
