我来写签经了….
6月23日 上海1000
早上7:00刚过到了梅陇镇，门口已经排了很长的队，估计也有近百个了吧。排队的时候感觉前后有很多学生，然后发现我后面的一个男孩子也是签MBA的，去emory。交流了一下，他去年是F-2在美国待了近一年，今年暑假回来签F-1。
快8:00的时候开始放人了，十几个一批，渐渐往里进。一楼入口处查DS156，好像是只看英文的（有点记不清楚），然后上到8楼，门口对护照上的名字，安检，排队领号。排队的时候稍微谦让了一下，没想到倒是拿了一个颇为喜气的号108（呵呵，其实偶平时也不是很信这些的，就是那会儿好像草木皆兵，什么东西都搭了点关系似的）。
预交了资料，开始了漫长的等待。我坐的位置正好是在7号窗口和9号窗口之间（8号没开），所以隐约能够听到一些对话。
By the way，在预交资料的时候，望见远处有个女孩是我高中不同班的同学，世界真小。我坐下开始等的时候，她已经开始签了，就是在7号JFMM那里，前半部分我没有听见，但好像听到了她说回国做IB，又说了一会儿，被据了。也没有机会和她多说话，只打了个招呼，她就走了。
JFMM挺厉害的，好几个学生签证和探亲的都没有过，当然间或也有几个过了的。前面提到的那个emory的男生在我等的过程中也被JFMM拒掉，另一个去maryland的女孩好像有比较多的奖学金，她顺利地过了。相比之下，9号窗口（可能是大glassboy）说话很耐心，连续地放，拒的当然也有。不过我一直坚定自己的信心，即使JFMM签，总也有过的吧。
10:40左右，终于还是在7号窗口出现了我的号码，我深呼吸一下，走到窗口，把厚厚一个文件夹放在窗前。
M: Good morning.
V: Good morning.
V: So which school are you going to?
M: Thunderbird, the American Graduate School of International Management
V: Thunderbird is a very good school
M: Thank you.
V: But it is also a very expensive school.
M: Yes, it is.
V: Ok, let’s start with how you are going to pay for your school.
M: OK. Here is a budget summary I prepared, would you like to take a look?
(JFMM nodded)
M: (continue) Thunderbird gave me some scholarship, which will cover two trimesters’ tuition for me.
(V nodded)
M: My personal saving and my parents’ saving will help me to pay for the rest.
V: (nodded) Show me your bank certificate.
M: Here is the bank certificate of my own saving, and here is the certificate for my mum’s saving.
V: (looked at the certificates for a while) All your money were saved in 2003?
(I was very nervous at that moment, because I knew that would be the most challenging part for me)
M: You know, all the admission and scholarship were confirmed in April, and since the interest rate for the deposit at bank is very low, it didn’t make sense for me to put all the money with the bank before that.
V: But again, how can I believe it’s your money since all of the saving are in 2003?
M: I brought with me the certificate of my income tax, and the certificate of income issued by xxx (I tried my best to mention my company’s name, I hope it would help a little bit because of its good relationship with the US Consulate)
(V nodded, I handed the documents in)
V: Your bank book?
M: Here you are, but it didn’t show all the information you want, because not all of the money was in this account.
(Originally I didn’t prepare to bring them since I thought the book does not bear the necessary information, but fortunately I did, that’s something VO wanted, and it’s better that you have them with you.)
V: but it’s also from 2003.
M: yes, because the old one was full of records and was taken back by the bank.
V: What is your salary?
M: around xxx every month.
V: so where did you put your money?
M: in the stock market.
V: show me the print slip of the transactions.
M: sorry, I didn’t print that.
V: and how about your parent’s money… they are also from 2003.
M: the same story, they don’t usually put the big amount of money with the bank, the money was also in the stock market.
V: Show me the bank book.
M: I have the business license of my mother’s private company…
V: no, I want to see the bank book.
M: OK, here you are, but again, it only has the information of the savings on the certificate.
V: ….
M: (I didn’t hear very clearly) I’m not sure….
V: You told me you invest your money in the stock market for a better return, but you cannot name the stocks you bought?
M: Sorry, I didn’t hear your question very clearly. I bought xxx.
V: what was the price when you bought them?
M: about xxxx
V: what’s the price when you sold them out?
M: about xxx
V: what is the percentage of your return?
M: about xx percent （紧张的要命还让我作算术…）
V: what else did you buy? You only bought one stock?
M: actually this was the one I got biggest return, you know the stock market was not doing very well for the past months.
V: When did you start to invest in the stock market?
M: in 2001.
V: When did you start to work?
M: in 2000.
V: (probably she didn't hear clearly, and pointing the DS158) it shows you started your work in 2000.
M: I did say I started in 2000.
V: I thought you said in 2002.
M: No, it was in 2000.
V: OK
V: I think you are qualified for a visa.
M: (惊魂未定，觉得刚才好像所有的问题都直指我的死穴…) so the interview is done?
V: what do I mean when I said you are qualified?
M: Thank you.
(正要卷铺盖走人…又一惊)
V: wait, can I have your I-20?
M: I think you have it, I submitted it with the forms.
V: but now you have it, I just gave it back to you.
(在一堆她还给我的文件中看到I-20,递给她，JFMM开始打电脑)
V: Oh sorry…
(my god, what’s wrong again?)
V: My SEVIS system is down.
V: You are qualified, but I cannot issue the visa to you today. I will call you later.
M: Do I need to bring anything else next time?
V: No.
M: OK, thank you.
VO在我的护照最后一页盖了个章，签了个名，特意看了一下——不是拒签的章。：）
整个过程只问了一个钱的问题，偏偏就是我最头疼的。其他什么为什么要去读书呀，现在的工作呀，回国计划呀，都没有提到。其实钱的问题，资金的确都是我自己和父母的，只是当初没有经验，不知道要很早转过去，而且一直到前一天晚上黑暗GG跟我说的时候才意识到可能是个大问题，连夜仔细想了一下应该怎么回答会比较好——所以再次感谢黑暗GG的帮助！
不过我想JFMM虽然比较aggressive，但是VO看的人多了，肯定会有他们的经验。我觉得她基本上还是相信我的，我的表格打印得比较清楚，学校她也一开始就认可，公司的背景应该也有一点作用吧。在签的过程中，虽然我其实也有一点紧张，毕竟前面很多人都被拒而且她又问了很多资金问题，但是我的回答都很诚实，有什么给什么，而且说话的语气比较沉着、自信，相信会有一定作用。
现在就是在担心不知道什么时候他们会给我电话。今天有没有签F-1的xdjm? 不知道SEVIS 系统恢复了没有？他们应该不会变卦吧…
希望我的签经会对大家有用。
