ME: 打招呼
VO: 不理会,直接问"你的姓名"
ME: blabla....
VO: 低头看我的DS表,问你的户口在xx(东北)?
ME: 是, 但是我在xx工作,因为有一个合作研究需要我来这里工作...
VO: 被打断,"什么计划"
ME: blabla....
VO: 你为什么不去北京签证?(没有问为什么不到沈阳)
ME: blabla...解释合作计划,我很早就到 xx地方开始合作研究等,我打过你们的电话,我可以在上海申请签证....
VO: 打断,"你的暂住证?"
ME: 赶紧递入
VO: 拿过，转头招呼一年轻中国男子过来问暂住证的事，好象是说真的还是假的，那男的应该给的肯定答复，随后扔出来，问"your saving"?
ME: 晕了。我资金没问题呀？带了存折，赶紧找啊...
VO: 拿了我的表跑过去问4号的胡子，我一下急了..大声喊“madam, here is my saving", 她过来一看，直摇头“no,no...blabla..."
因为她坐在椅子上，后仰着和我讲话，距离远，我真的听不清，只好说“我真的听不见，请你再说说好吗？”随后又pardon 一次，这次她一字一字的说“your CV" ，干吗不说resume？从一堆材料里找出递入，看我的工作地址有两个（本来一个，跨区一个）,低头找材料,抬头看到MM在我的DS表上一通狂划,把我暂住证的地址和电话添到DS表上的右侧上方.写下的电话号码看的非常清楚.然后问"谁是你在美国的老板"?
ME: blabla....大意是讲我和老板很熟(华人,见过三次面,是我单位的百人计划),是什么课题,提到"biology","clinic medicine","proteomics","cancer research" 等,以及我的特长,在该计划中的重要性等...
VO: 打断."你有他的resume和supporting letter"吗?
ME: 我晕!这次怎么说resume了?赶紧找出,支持信还没打开,于是说,"要打开吗?"
VO: 点头.
ME: 我打开信,和从网上下载的老板材料介绍一起递入.在她看的时候,我想不能冷场啊,于是blabla....介绍老板,和他的计划"sponsored by NIH",完成计划我会回国,说完她还没看完呢!又blabla...说我为什么在上海签,要给她其他材料...
VO: 不理会,抓过我的护照,手起...
ME: Madam, please give me one minute...
VO: ...章落,砰的一声,在我的护照上写点什么，加张A4纸，然后和 DS-156一起扔出，...
ME: then, madam, could you give me a reason for that? blabla...
VO: just listen to me...
ME: please.
VO: 我没有拒你,留下你的材料要审查,一边说一边点起我的DS-157,DS-158,offer
letter,IAP-66,我的CV和老板的supporting letter,砰的用订书机扎上．你回去等电话通知.下一个...
ME: 看到别人已经上来,只好说anyway....捧起大堆材料转身.哗,我看见...签证大厅里几乎所有人都在看帅哥,搞的我脸更红了,想来我和YYMM大战差不多有10分钟,还可能声音巨响亮...呵呵，在别人的签经里会有提到一个帅哥上海大战YYMM，那就是我了哦．
本来还有一些趣事,现在心情不好,就不絮叨了.下面请教各位几个问题:
1.她留的我的一些材料,要check,请问,他们一般如何check?具体到我,大约有啥要check的?
2.我说的"biology","clinic medicine","proteomics","cancer research"不会是敏感专业问题吧?
3.美国那边的check我没办法,随他好了,我给美国老板发紧急e-mail报忧,他居然还恭喜我,晕了!
4.要check我在国内的情况,我想她特意写下工作证明单位的电话,是不是要打这个电话check?
5.在随后的日子里,我得准备什么,以备战第一签的延续部分?:)就是不用再交签证费的"二面".
6.他通知我后,是不是会把收去的所有材料先还给我,给我一个时间,再来面试?这个面试和第一次一样吗? 7.我护照盖章，里面写“G”,另一张A4纸也写的明白被 check，下次不用交830等云云。
谢谢诸位。
