今天晚上和北京的朋友们又聚了一次，回来较晚，赶出来的签经大家就先凑合看吧，有问题再问我。
今天签证比设想的顺利很多。预约的是8点，10点不到就拿到了签证。进入签证大厅后首先到1或2号窗口交护照、I20和DS表格，然后会拿到一个有颜色的牌子，按颜色排队按指纹，之后接着排队等待签证面试。两次排队的时间都很长，吸取了Dreambox和琥珀川白龙的经验，找了个地方先坐下，等到快轮到自己颜色队伍的时候再过去排着，这样至少可以节省一些体力。
总的来说今天签证大厅里的气氛还是不错的，签过率好像挺高。我是我们组的最后一个，前面只有两个被据，一个被Check，其他5-6个都顺利签过。签证官是一个30多岁的中年男子，非常认真但也很reasonable。下面是我Interview的大致过程：
M: Good morning, sir!
V: Good morning. Where are you going?
M: I want to study MBA program in the University of Michigan.
V: Why do you want to study MBA?
M: Because MBA education is very important for my future career development. blar blar...
v: How many years have you been in xxx industry?
M: 2 and half years, blar blar...
v: What will you do if you can't go to US?
M: (这个问题有些怪) I will stay in my current company.
v: What's your long term career plan?
M: (正在犹豫怎么回答)
V: I mean, what will you do after graduation?
M: (老美目光短浅，这也叫long term plan?) I will go back China and join a top consulting firm, such as xxx. i can get a XXX position with global pay. (we smiled to each other，哈，我也目光短浅一把) After working several years in consulting firm, i will start my own business in China, because i believe in the next 5-10 years, China will have a lot of exciting opportunities for us. （其实后来回想起来，创业不提也罢，太容易被VO Challenge）
V: Which kind of company will you start?
M: IT company. I have worked for technology industry for 6 years, and I have established strong relationships with many local clients, such as...
V: How can you pay the tuition?
M: I will use my personal savings to cover the first year tuition and expenses, and my parents will help me to cover most of the second year tuition and expenses. While i also need around $10,000 loan from Michigan. Do you want to see my bank statements?
V: Sure
M: (Give all the documents, with a summary table on the top, bank statements in the middle, and a cv at the bottom)
v: (Go through all the docs)What's your parents job?
M: They are professors in XXX university.
V: (finally landed on my cv)
M: you can see i've worked 7 years, and most of my clients are local clients. (停顿了一会，为了避免冷场，抛出了第一个杀手锏) Actually I applied 6 top MBA programs, and got four offers, they are... Finally I selected Michigan because i think Michigan fits me the best.
v: emm... (开始在我的I-20上画圈)
M: （正在思考下一步的对策）
v: （给了一个蓝条）please go to window 10 to get your visa.
M: (这就完了，我还有几个杀手锏没使出来呢？) Thanks you very much! (Smile)
经验总结：
1. 今年形势好像很不错，希望大家能树立信心，1000而过。
2. 材料一定要准备齐全，虽然我的工作、工资证明，学校的Offer，父母工资证明等VO都没有看，但有备无患，带上没有坏处。
3. 签证问题最核心的还是3个：为什么去美国读MBA，如何付学费，及毕业后计划。注意回答要Concise and straight forward，不要答非所问。
第一个问题我想大家写essay的时候已经很清楚了，只需要提炼一下就可以了。
第二个问题的重点是要清楚明了的说明你的付款计划。经验证明，合理数量的贷款是完全可以接受的，比如Lixin 30%自己出，30%父母出，30%学校贷款就是一个很Reasonable的方案。没有必要为了凑两年的钱在自己名下有大量的存款，这样反而引起VO不必要的置疑。
第三个问题即设计一个合理的归国计划应该是成功的关键。美国非常注重个人利益，因此直接说明自己要去的公司类型，及能够拿到更高的职位和薪水是一个不错的方法。这里建议不要把创业当成毕业后的短期计划，因为太容易受到VO的攻击。
4. 最后送大家两个关键词: Be confident and Be yourself! 成功案例虽然很多，但千万不要刻意去模仿。要把真实的自我展现出来，这样才能赢得VO的信任。一旦得到了信任，拿到签证自然是水到渠成了。
感谢CD上朋友的鼓励和支持，感谢Dreambox, 琥珀川白龙, Lixin的经验传授，感谢haomao的Mock Interview。祝CD上的朋友都早日拿到签证，实现梦想！
