PhD申请美国留学签证面签对话旁白

  美国签证结果:华丽丽的check(说是需要2-3weeks的administrative processing,不过没给带颜色的小条。)

  背景:本科:HIT-Automation

  申请:UC Berkeley-Mechanical Engineering(Controls/Dynamics,PhD)

  美国签证面签时间:约的5.13下午1:30(不过1:00就让进去了)

  VO:胖胖的白人mm(普遍反映好叼啊)

  先直奔主题吧,上美国签证签经:

  --------------------悲情的分割线----------------------

  VO:(我刚要打招呼,她就先声夺人,很不错的中文)你是~~~?

  ME:Yes, Madam.

  VO:(中文)给我你的I-20。(心想怎么还是中文。)

  ME:Here it is.

  VO:(中文)不用单独给我I-20,把那个夹子一起都给我。

  ME:(心想早说啊。)

  VO:We'd better speak English, OK?

  ME:OK。(貌似是mm你一直在彪中文吧。)

  VO:You will attend UC Berkeley, for PhD study in Mechanical Engineering?

  ME:Yes。

  VO:(灰常灰常兴奋地)Your visa application is passed!

  ME:(有点晕,这么简单就完了?!想起了那句经典广告:“-开始了么?-已经结束了”。回过神来,忙答)Wow, thank you!

  VO:(恢复严肃表情)Tell me what kind of research will you do at UC Berkeley?

  ME:(心想1:就知道没那么简单,如果她用"is approved"的话,我就不会那么晕了,可mm用的是passed。)(心想2:一直纠结三个方案,a.导师没定,研究方向也未定;b.导师定了,研究方向未定;c.导师定了,众多敏感方向中挑一个比较不敏感的。因为比我早两天HIT本学院的一ME童鞋也是此胖白人mm,她可能被俺这个童鞋的“导师未定,方向也未定”弄无奈了,就给了check,所以我就放弃了a方案;b是实情,不过我怕她追问导师都有哪些项目,就还不如用方案c)Advanced vehicle (control) system(特意去掉了control。)

  VO:Is it robotic car?

  ME:(为什么mm的思维如此“神勇”。)No, not about robotic car, but mainly focuses on how to provide enhanced safery and reduction in drivers' fatigue in case of heavy traffic in big cities.(我想把她拉上正道啊)

  VO:Oh? How? Will you use a computer and a robot?(在键盘上一顿狂敲,眉头紧锁)

  ME:(咋还是robot?虽说HIT这回的机器人因为达人秀scandal着实“火了一把”,计院现在可谓被推到了风口浪尖,那mm你也不至于如此苦苦相逼吧。决定忽视她的一般疑问句问法,继续往回拉)We will let the car go or stop according to the distance between it and its preceding vehicle...

  VO:(依然一脸疑惑,一会儿思考状,一会儿敲电脑。打断我)The people, I mean the driver will do it, or a robot will tell the driver?

  ME:(好吧,看来这个mm是铁了心了问robot)There is no robot in or on it. The car can stop and go automatically.(她无非想知道是people还是robot,开始想顺着她的思路说是people,可如果people do this,这还是advanced vehicle system么。可说完"automatically"的时候我这个后悔啊。)

  VO:Interesting!(VO说这个词的时候你要当心了。) You are studying in Harin Institute of Technology?

  ME:Yes.(心想不妙)

  VO:What is your major?

  ME:Automation.(HIT + Automation = 必死无疑,个人观点)

  VO:When will you graduate?

  ME:This July.

  VO:Oh, yes, this July. Who will provide the funding at Berkeley?

  ME:(因为我用了c方案,就贯彻执行呗)My supervisor will finacially support me.

  VO:Give me your offer letter.

  ME:Here it is.

  VO:(仔细看。)You've got one year full financial support.

  ME:Actually it says most of the PhD students at Berkeley can always get financial support...

  VO:(她打断说)Yes, during your PhD studies. Do you have some material of your advisor?

  ME:Yes.(不想给CV啊,就给了主页。)

  VO:(看了几秒)Do you have his resume?

  ME:Oh, yes. Here you are.

  VO:And your resume, study plan.

  ME:(心想,好吧,固定套路,要CV,然后就是check。)

  VO:You've got all of these. So well-prepared!

  ME:(心想,嘿,你要,我就给呗,还回敬俺一句。要是俺有一样没拿,mm又要说啥?)

  VO:(一边整理我交的材料,一边说)Admitted by UC Berkeley PhD program, you are the most brilliant student I've seen.

  ME:Thank you.(心想,沈阳到底不是北上啊,不过等过两天你看到某girl时就会说“Admitted by MIT PhD program, YOU are the most brilliant student I've EVER seen.”哈哈,不过话说MIT大神是去沈阳签么。)

  VO:(把I-20还给我)We need 2-3 weeks' administrative processing. (俺猜到了)But don't worry, no big deal. (给我一个填回寄材料的小方块纸,白地红字)You can go to the post office ...(一堆套话,然后又是安慰了几句的寒暄)Bye bye.

  ME:Thank you. Good bye.

  美国签证感想:

  1、关于“姿态”,我认为用不着强势,但也别显得太挫,大方就好,适当给出解释,“对话在友好的气氛中展开”。

  2、感觉还是实话实说比较好(但不等于主动和盘托出哈),check就check呗,又死不了人。再说现在check也不全是坏事,总比反签时check好点吧——好吧,我又阿Q了。
