Ø 预约面签(https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/applicanthome),按照指示选择非移民签证—面签地点—J签类型—填写SEVIS ID(即2019表以N开头的一串数字)和2019表上的项目ID—选择具体的面试时间—生成面签预约确认页
Ø SEVIS费用缴纳(https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/index.html)。需提供SEVIS ID和护照。 4.面签资料整理
(1)资料复核。基于第一部分整理的材料清单,仔细检查每份资料,尤其是个人和外导的CV、研究计划、已发表论文及其摘要这些介绍性的资料里不要出现敏感词汇,如能源、遥感、模拟技术等等。
(2)VO在问问题时,没有时间一页页的翻资料,但又担心因为没有主动递交所有材料而遭到check,进而造成时间上的浪费,因此可以准备两个文件夹。一份按照材料重要程度将前十份资料放进去。另一份放在手里,在签证官敲键盘输信息的时间空档里,将补充材料递给他以显示自己的充分准备。 5.面签过程(坐标广州)
(1)出发:早上7点和同学一起到了广州领事馆门口(珠江新城地铁站B1出口正对面的黑色铁栏杆)。
(2)存包:非移民签证不允许带除资料以外的任何物品。门口会有2-3个阿姨非常热情的问要不要存包(20元),不放心阿姨的话也可以交给门口的报刊亭(同20元)。
(3)进场:7点30分开始可以排队进场,进场时检查预约确认页和护照两项资料。
(4)安检:如有系腰带和外套,需脱掉过安检。
(5)进馆:8:00正式上班时进馆。
第一步由中国的工作人员检查护照和预约签证页,在护照背面贴条形码并告知在1~4窗口任选一个窗口排队录入信息。
第二步到达录入信息窗口后,由中国工作人员检查护照和ds2019表,确认申请的是J1签证后会问什么时间拍的签证照片,给出一本蓝色小册子并告知去9~10窗口录入指纹。
第三步到达录入指纹窗口,按照排队时看到的录入指纹的教学视频,先给工作人员扫一下护照背面的二维码,按要求录入指纹就会被告知可以去面谈了。这里要说明虽然录指纹是外国工作人员,但他不会和你讲英文,所以不用紧张。
第四步,排队面谈。因为题主去的比较早,仅开放了几个面谈窗口,实际约有十几个。题主分到了一个年轻的白人VO,面试问题如下:
Me: Good morning, sir, here are my passport and forms.
VO: Great.
Me: Sorry, The voice is a little low.
VO: Ok.(他调整了一下,并且把扬声器从窗口一遍拖到我这里,并向我确认是否能听得到)
我表达了能听到之后,他抽出了ds2019表开始敲电脑…..
VO: You're going to xxx(学校)?
Me: Yes
VO: why do you want to xxx(学校)?
Me: I am invited to conduct my a part of my doctoral research project at xxx. The fourth page of the form booklet is the invitation letter.
VO: OK. So Which school are you studying for your PhD?
Me: Yes. I'm a PhD student at xxx.
VO: What's your major?
Me: landscape architecture
VO: What's your research plan?
Me: My research is about landscape architecture design. The last page of the form booklet is my research plan. my research focuses on XXX
VO在我回答问题时翻看了我提交的表格册子,抽出了研究计划看了第一页。
VO: Does your research focus on building design or environmental design around the building?
Me: It is environmental design around the building. Specifically, it includes plant design and architectural layout.
VO: Interesting . how do you know this university?
Me: xxx is a world-renown and prestigious entity. Moreover, The research group I want to join is xxx at the xxx(学校)
VO: How do you know your supervisor?
Me: I got to know xxx through his scientific papers which published in professional journals, and then formed a connection through the discussion of related research in e-mails and videos.
VO: So, have you met your mentor??
Me: Yes. I only contact the professor by email and videoconference.
VO: Who will pay for you?
Me: I got the financial support from China Scholarship Council.
VO: What kind of job are you looking for after you graduate with your doctorate?
Me: I am intend to find a job as a teacher in China.
VO: How long will you staying in America?
Me: One year
VO长时间敲电脑,在此期间我把手里另一份文件袋的资料递给他,说:I have also prepared some materials, including xx/xx/xx
VO: Good. have you been to US before?
Me: No I haven’t
VO: have you got this book (美国权利那个小册子)?
Me: This book tells me what rights I have in the United States.
然后VO就开始在2019表上盖章,签字了,护照留下,把其余表格整理了一下递给我。当时没有收到任何条子,因为处于懵懵的状态就没来得及问我是不是过签了,说了一句 Thank you. Have a nice day就走了。。。出馆之后才想起自己都不知道是否过签,问了朋友也查了百度后才知道可能是VO出于环保考虑不给条,或者他当时和我说了要等AP而我没听清。总之过了周末休息日之后。周一早上九点半查询就已经issued啦,周三就收到了同城快递来的护照。签证状态查询网址(https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx)
正式面谈过程约10~15min。
面签过程注意事项:VO着重看ds2019表,会将表格上的学科代码输入电脑进行查询,如果涉及到敏感信息,会着重问研究内容,不怎么看其他材料,并大概率给出拒签。如果不涉及,则就按正常流程进行问询。建议对每个问题的回答尽量简短,语速不需过快。
