希望我的美国留学签证申请经历对非上海籍但想在上海签的同学有所帮助。

　　7月15日，预约1:45，实际一直到下午4:30左右才签上了，其他的时间大部分都是在站着等。现在上海不需要早排队，你只要提前半小时到就可以了，早到了，没有到你的预约时间，也不会发牌给你。

　　我对当天的VO没有很深的印象，不过有真的很水的，有的人只被问了一个问题，就过了，亲眼所见。由于本身有硬伤，所以没有报任何侥幸心理，但是做了很充分的准备。我是分到了一位很认真的VO。

　　VO：good afternoon, sir.

　　Me：good afternoon. Here is my materials.

　　VO：Ok, thank you. Where are you going to study?

　　Me：Accounting at HVCC

　　VO：oh, I see. How old are you?

　　Me：27

　　VO：I think you are too old for a college. why you want to study there?

　　Me：Acturally, I tried to get my master's degree of economics.But the professor mentioned that I needed to build my mathematics and economics background. He suggested me to conside HVCC.

　　Me：(started to say something when he was silent). This is my employment contract. I have signed the contract with E&J. And i will work for them when i finish my study and get my corresponding degree. If I don't do that, they are gonna sue me and I have pay 30000RMB as the penalty.

　　VO：oh,why did they want to hire you?

　　Me：I had a part-time job there before. I helped them build their CRM system. Their CEO had a very good impression of me. Before I'm leaving for America, I talked with their CEO. He gave me an inverview and decided to offered me a job.

　　VO：oh,What do they do?

　　Me：It's trading company, with a stong trading relation with America and China. They need someone who is familar with american accounting system.

　　VO：(checking my contract) So, they (E&J) are going to watching you?

　　Me：Yes.

　　VO：(silent, checking my materials) How long have you been in shanghai?

　　Me：2 and a half years.

　　VO：Do you have a Zan Zhu Zheng or Ju Zhu Zheng? Because your passport was issued in Shandong.

　　Me：Yes, I have a Zan Zhu Zheng

　　VO：(silent, checking my materials). What do you do now?

　　Me：I work for CBI China.

　　VO：What's that?

　　Me：Bla bla bla...

　　VO：Do you have your business card? (pointing at my material pack)

　　Me：I have lots of business card. But I don't bring them with me. Do you need me to provide later?

　　VO：(silent)

　　Me：Ihave this, maybe it can prove that I'm working for CBI China now. ( I passed my income certificate proven by my company)

　　VO：May I see it? (checking it)

　　VO：(silent, writing something on the yellow paper and I could see it very clearly. He was trying to mark that I didn't have a RV)

　　Me：I have my resume here, do you wanna see it?

　　VO：Yes, please. (checking my resume and delete the mark from the yellow papar)

　　VO：(giving me the yellow paper) Please provide this material (business card & Zan Zhu Zheng) and fax them by this number.( pointing at the number on the yellow paper)

　　Me：I see. How soon do I need to do that?

　　VO：As soon as possible

　　Me：Ok, I have a question：when you receive my materials, how long do you need to consider my application?

　　VO：As long as we receive your materials, we will make a decision at your application immediately.

　　Me：Thank you.

　　VO：You are welcome.

　　回来之后才发现，以前的暂住证早就弄丢了，好像是因为中间搬过家，而且在上海，搬家之后要到新的居委会去办，旧的也不管用了。还好，办这个比较简单。建议没有的同学尽快办一本，just in case.

　　资料准备的越充足，自信心越大，这点我是比较有体会的。我的资料清单有：

　　1、护照， I-20表格，DS-160表格，学校录取通知书，Sevis收据及原件，学习计划，简历

　　2、赞助人资料，公司开的个人收入证明，以及银行办的财产证明

　　3、大学毕业证，学位证，成绩单原件及公证件

　　4、托福成绩

　　5、归国后的劳动合同

　　6、生活照片

　　最后VO收走的资料有： 护照，I-20表格，DS-160表格，Sevis收据，公司开的个人收入证明，劳动合同和简历。不明白VO对我的关注点为什么集中在我现在的工作和我将来的工作上。我已经按照要求传真了我的名片和暂住证(新)，以后就看check officer自己的想法了。
