阅读指南：本来想写一篇纯签经，结果写着写着变成了流水账。时间宝贵的朋友就跳过去不要看了。
签证终于批准了！虽然还要过几天才可以送到手，但是先向xdjm们贡献一下签经。事先说明，我的例子比较特殊，（除了在第三国之外，还有其他一些原因，详见下文分解）本来觉得没有必要贴出来。但是因为之前在CD和Taisa上都没有找到太多的关于第三国签证的经验，于是最后还是决定把它写出来给广大在第三国特别是在日本的签友们参考。希望能对大家有点帮助。
背景介绍：从去年9月份决定去美国念书到签证通过一共9个月。GMAT和TOEFL都只考了一次，不是什么牛分，但因为没有时间再考所以就将就着用了。学校申请共两所。Top50非牛校一所，3/4奖。榜上无名一年MBA，1/2奖。大学文科，500强外企1年。日本留学两年。日本公司中国投资项目2年。Female, single, 20 sth。
拿到offer以后，开始考虑是在日本签还是回国签。查过大使馆的网页，并没有限制外国人的条列，连最低年限都没有限定，于是决定在日本签。后来发现这是一个大陷阱，自己的想法天真了。别的国家我不清楚，但是日本，我可以肯定的说，面对国内的大水势，F1还是回国签吧。虽然使馆网页上没写，但是所有的签证官都被训练要求问你的日本在留资格。如果没有永住权，不是日籍，在日本签F1的可能性几乎为0。上次和昨天，我就亲眼在东京大使馆看到全军覆没的惨状。
好了，言归正传。签经奉上。
（1）盲目乐观，粉击信心
6月初，艳阳高照。因为日本只开放上午时间签，约的9：30，到的时候已有70多人在前面。多为商务，探亲和短期留学。F1很少的样子。过保安检查，进入大楼。再次排队。日本小秘过来受材料。没签名的要求签名，像片不对的在一楼的立等可取box里可以补照。有填错个别小错误也不要紧，日本小秘会帮你划双横线改掉。全部ok后，资料被收掉。然后排队过安检。除了手机，电子字典等电子产品不可带进，要寄在安检处外，其他都可以带进去。进去后是一个有100个座位左右的大厅，站的人也蛮多。窗口10个。1号为移民面试窗。2，3，4为按指窗。5，6，7为简单面试窗（即为基本上叫到名字，不问什么问题就给个发行通知书的）8，9，10为详细面试窗（即为至少被盘问5分钟以上的）。但是10号窗很少开。所有VO均为美国人。尤其中一个帅gg中文讲得很好，大部分华人都是他用中文面的，但大多数都被他很有礼貌的据了。等了快一小时，被叫到4号窗按指纹。然后又等了快40分钟。终于被一个棕色MM叫到很少开的10号窗。当时还未觉得情势不妙。满脸信心地迎了上去。
VO: What are you going to do in the US?
Me: I am going to study MBA in the*** University.
(Checking my passport, found that I have been to many countries)
VO: Oh, u have been to many countries, Have you ever been rejected visa by any countries?
Me: No, never.
VO: How long have you been in Japan?
Me: 4 years.
VO: Are you a student?
Me: No. At first, I studied *** in *** University. And then I was employed as an *** by current company 2 years ago.
VO: What is your company’s business?
Me: My company is a house appliance manufacturer. We are experienced at designing and producing ***. Our *** technique is on the top of relative field.
VO: Why do you pick this school?
Me: I have some friends graduated from ***, they all think *** is a unique program and most of them are doing great with their career. When I did more research in ***’s website, I found that his international business and entrepreneurship concentration are ranking Top ** and Top ** in the nation, which these two programs both are my interesting fields. Besides, the *** school give me ***US$ scholarship which cover 75% tuition fee of first year, and it is renewable.
VO: What is your plan after graduation?
Me: Because my current company will employ me as a senior manager in China branch. I will return to China to take this offer. I consider it as a big career opportunity for me. I think my work experience in China and Japan combine with an American MBA degree will make me more qualified with this position. This is the support letter from my president. DO you want to take a look on it?
VO: Sure. (read the letter) Is this the official letter from your company?
Me: Yes.
VO: Can you wait a moment?
Me: Sure.
(VO left the window and seemed like she thought my case was quite a particular so she wanted to talk with her boss. After 2-3 minutes, she came back. Until then, Ｉstill thought I could got my visa.)
VO: Do you live by yourself?
Me: Yes.
VO: Do you have any family in Japan?
Me: Yes, My ***’s family live in Tokyo. They stay in Japan for almost 20 years and now they are Japanese Citizens.
VO: Do you parents live in Japan?
Me: No. They are in China.
(VO thought about something for a while)
VO: Sorry. We can not issue you a visa. Since you don’t have strong ties with Japan.
Me: Why? I already have been in Japan for more than 4 years. I study here, work here and get the salary from Japanese company here. Now Japan is the country I have many ties with,,,,,,,,
VO: Sorry. But you are not the permanent resident of Japan.
Me: You mean I had better come back China to reapply?
VO: I cannot say.
Me: Can you give me any suggestion which I should improve for reapplication?
VO: I am not sure. Maybe you just can stay in Japan for 1 more years to prove your stronger ties with Japan.
Me: But My school will start from August, and I don’t want to lose this chance because it is usually difficult for an MBA student to got the scholarship. I cannot give up this offer,,,,,,,
VO: yes, I understand your situation. Your case is quite strong and kind of particular. But I am sorry that I can not help you.
Me: According to the states’ immigration law, if I can prove that I have stronger ties with other countries more than with US, it doesn’t matter I have strong ties with Japan or not. Because I don’t intent to stay in the US after I graduate. I will return to China.
VO: Yes, but I can’t help you. ( She turned to the last page of my passport and stamp the refusal seal in it. Then pushed the documentation out of window)
Me: (I knew I could not change it any more) Ok, thank you anyway. Have a good day.
VO: You, too. Bye bye!
只觉得眼泪在眼里打转，收拾好东西出了大使馆。被莫名其妙地据了一下，一下子觉得自己在日本这几年的奋斗全化为泡沫，因为人家一点都不觉得你和日本有ties。好吧，只能自认倒霉，还是好好考虑一下，回国签吧。回到家，上网查了国内签证的信息，打电话预约了6月中旬的。又在CD和Taisa找签经，发现了为数不多的几篇三国签证的文章，还有几篇也在日本被拒的人的文章，大叹自己怎么没早发现，就可以免去一次悲剧之苦。极度郁闷中！
（2）贵人指路，峰回路转
令我想不到的事情发生了！一个在日本工商协会的晚餐会上认识的在中国大使馆工作的朋友打来了电话，邀请我去参加一个使馆组织的活动。顺便问了我的近况。得知我被美国使馆据签后，这位朋友说他们正好过两天有和美国大使馆的午餐会，可以帮我打听打听。我顿然发现为什么没想到还有这条关系呢！但是，明知签证可不是什么小事情，被拒签了不可能会有改变决定的可能。不过，就死马当活马医医吧！第二天，正在上班，接到朋友的电话，说约了美国大使馆的人员吃晚饭，让我一块过去。没想到朋友的速度这么神速！！！立马答应下来。晚上见了面，和这位使馆人员把情况一说，他皱了眉头说，if you come to ask my help before you go to apply ur visa, I can guarantee ur visa almost 100%, but now since you have been denied once, the situation is totally different, but I cannot say u have no chance.
他让我第二天将我的申请资料fax给他，他可以去talk down to the boss of visa division. 第二天，我将资料传真给了他，然后忐忑不安的等他的电话。终于他的电话来了，告诉我，Sorry, but you will be very difficult to get the visa in Japan as you are a Chinese. But since ur case is quite special, you may have much better chance than before after I talked with my friend in the visa division. Can you ask your company to give you any additional support materials? If you have, it will be much helpful. 我明白了他的意思，开始了积极行动。我开始和我的社长谈判，说服了公司给我出了另外一份petition letter， 并要求公司现在就给我2年后的offer letter. 当然我如果不回去，是要被罚上一笔大数目的赔偿的。但是，现不管钱的问题了。花了一个礼拜，搞全了这些资料，在网上约到了6月21号，于是给美国使馆人员打电话。他让我把新补充的材料给他发过去，说要帮我写一封reference. 我没想自己会怎么的幸运！他说他尽量帮我，but I need to try my luck.
(3) 重拳出击，柳暗花明
6月21日，又是一个晴天。 约了早上9点，但被朋友要求8‘30分到。到了大使馆门口，才有40人左右的队伍。给朋友打电话。他说我下去接你。享受到不用排队的待遇，直接被带进面试大厅。然后他说：what I can do for u is only this, I must leave here now. Good luck! 他把我的资料拿走，剩下我一个人坐在那边等。窗口就开了两个，两个VO十分悠闲的说说笑笑，到没见被拒的。过了9点半，人渐渐多起来，窗口也渐渐开起来。此时心情很复杂，不知道是自信还是恐惧，只觉得自己做的事情很不可思议。然后劝自己别想太多，静下心来好好理理自己的头绪。10点左右，被叫到名字，去按手印。然后又回原为等。期间，中国人几乎全军覆没，只过了一个在日17年，太太是日本人，到美国出差的男人。不禁紧张起来，真的是情况太不妙了！不管了，在怎么样也要死拼一下！终于，11点过，10号窗，有个中年VO出现，听见我的名字被叫。天！又是十号窗！尽量让自己别慌，走上前去。
Me: (Tried to smile naturally) Nice to meet u, sir. This is my business card.
VO: (took a look on my card, put it away, began to look at computer) What is your plan after you graduate?
Me: I will return to *** TOKYO headquarter office and to be assigned to *** China Branch as a senior manager.
VO: Who is going to pay your study?
Me: Myself (forgot to tell him I have scholarship)
VO; How much is your salary? ( turned to look at me)
Me: you mean annually?
VO: yes
Me: *** + bonuses
VO: Do you live by yourself?
Me: yes. I live in an apartment in *** area.
VO: oh, nice place. How much does it cost?
Me: *** per month.
(VO stopped talking and checked sth in the computer)
Me: if you doubt about my financial status, would you like to check my bank accounts?
VO: no need. Ｉthink I will issue you a visa. ( gave me a instruction), visa will be mailed to you in a week.
Me: Thank you, sir.
抱上文件夹，走了出来。记过了上次，这次似乎简单得让我有点不知所措。我知道是那位美国朋友的信起了绝对作用。我真的不知道该怎么感谢他！我真的觉得自己特别的幸运，身边一直都有一些贵人朋友在关键的时候帮我一把，谢谢他们！也谢谢父母，给了我一片自由翱翔的天空，任何时候都是我坚强的后盾！最后谢谢CD和TAISA的朋友们，虽然我很少在这发表言论，但是正是有这么一群热心的朋友们使这个地方这么的友爱，温馨！谢谢你们！
最后，祝还在奋斗的xdjm们都能实现自己的梦想！
