吃完午饭回来一直睡觉到晚上,上网第一件事就是来CD.很感谢这里的人,这么久来在申请和签证上给予我的帮助.
5/25 2pm 到沙面.由于中介推荐,入住新华宾馆,价格倒是便宜(180),环境不大好,而且走过去领事馆要15分钟. 后来发现其实没所谓,因为我根本没机会睡,这是后话.
5/25 4pm 有中介打电话给我,说已经开始排队,让我赶快过去.我拿了护照过去,没想到这一去就是一整晚. 不知道是从24还是25号开始, 领事馆门口只准签证者本人持护照进去排队. 我去的时候刚放人进去,我排到65号. 于是开始我长达18个多小时的等待.
5/26 7am 撤走椅子, 开始排队进入安检门前的小广场, 等待交护照,申请费收据,DS表, 同时拿到8:30 49号的牌子, 回到在使馆外的座位,稍作休息.
5/26 8:30 持排再次进入,过安检, 进入大厅,排队打指摸, 被分到2号窗排队.
共3个窗口,1号是棕发gg,2号是棕发眼镜gg,3号是金发gg. 三个都比较帅.2号比较nice,人很耐心,问很多问题,队伍进展缓慢. 3号表情很酷, 好象没有给签过的,大家都在议论是杀手. 我心里暗喜, 被分到好的窗口, 谁知听到3号窗的gg 叫我名字(当时我还在2号队的中间,幸好没在洗手间里), 于是鼓起勇气,走到他面前.
Me: Good morning, sir.
V Morning. How are you doing?
Me: Fine. Thank you.
V(pointing to my visa) So you have been there on J-1?
Me: Yes, I went to San Antonio as an exchange student.

Me: I went there in Aug2002, and came back as scheduled in Jul2003.
V (looking at the computer for a while)ok, wait over there and I will call you back.
Me: ( go to the seat)
忐忑等待中, VO又面试了一两个人.我忽然想起我记错回来的时间了.我是去年5月,而不是7月回来的.我很想冲上去告诉他我记错了回来的时间,可是我忍住了.过了大约5分钟,听见他叫我名字.
Me: Sorry, sir. I made mistake. I came back in May not July last year. It's been a long time. And I bring with me a lot of materials as support.
V (smiling) It's ok. (Then he said something that surprised me) Whatever you want, just tell me. (looking at me and smiling and he touched the green cards with his fingers) So what is your plan?
Me: I plan to come back and work in large international corporations.( I was about to go on to details, but it seemed he felt like talking)
V So you will come back China. ( get a green card) Come tomorrow afternoon and get your visa.
Me: Thank you! Have a nice day!
我大概是第49个, 前面只有少数几个商务的签到了,很多探亲被拒. 学生签证的比较少. 我的签证官问的问题比较少,不知道算不算放水. 总结自己的成功经验如下:
1. 准备的比较充分.
2. 虽然经过一晚上的辛苦, 早上精神状态很好, 比较自信, 讲的很流利,尤其是讲到奖学金时,我说的很快.我感觉我回答完那个问题时他已经想给我过了.
3. 由于当天签的人大部分是探亲,很多人连普通话都说不好, 因此到我的时候,他听到流利的英语应该感到很亲切. 这可能也是个优势.
在这里我很感谢妈妈和BF的支持, 尤其是BF, 陪我在外面等了18个小时. 每次朝外面望去都会碰到他关切的眼神, 每次脖子酸疼都跑出去让他按摩. 他只睡了2个小时左右,却在拿包包的时候把几个全背上, 一点东西都不让我拿. 这个晚上的一幕幕是我永远都无法忘记的.
