F1留学签证面谈指导

我删减总结的美国签证108问
宗旨＋tips:
Before you get started, please remember:
◆Every visa officer will assume that you are NOT coming back to China, all you have to do is to convince him/her that you ARE coming back!
◆Don’t wait the visa officer to ask the questions you prepared or the questions you assume is going to fit into your answers, you have to fully express yourself positively, you have to seek any chance to express yourself!
◆Every question is a trap! You have to see the trap behind the question!
◆Do notice every answer should be very SPECIFIC,clear and reasonable. Category A---Are you coming back to China?
All the questions below looks like asking about your purpose to go to US, looks like asking about your study goals in US or your study strategies in US.
Q: How do you know about your school, why do you wanna study there?
The trap behind: your answer may concentrate too much on the school details without mention career development plan in China.
Tips: 也就是说，你的学习目的最终应该落在回到中国发展这一个基本点上，不要过多的阐述学校的具体细节，因为你没去过，你不了解。

要慎重的使用该学校在美国的排名和毕业生就业状况，因为这会增加你的移民倾向。

The real question behind: Are you coming back to China?
Trick to answer: answer them simply and clearly with your knowledge of major and schools you are applying, then switch to your career plan in China immediately! You have to have a very customized plan for yourself, it has to be very reasonable.
Category B: Are you a serious student?
The visa officer may ask some questions to evaluate if you are a serious student. These are detailed messages about yourself or the school you applied.
The trap behind: They wanna show that you d on’t have a good education background or your language skills are poor, or the way you present yourself is not proper on that day.
The real question behind: Are you a legislate student to go to US without causing any trouble?
The trick to answer: Study more about the school you applied over emails, website or brochures. Know more about your school and department. Express yourself precisely, clearly and honestly. Dress up as a serious student rather than a businessperson unless you have years of working experience and you are going to study MBA in US.
要穿着得体，第一印象永远很重要！无论他怀疑你什么，都要记得为自己辩护，不留任何借口。

对于学校要多知道一些，但是不要一下子都说出来，说的含蓄一点就是要矜持，说的恶心一点就是要想牙膏一样——不挤不出。

我签证那天在等候室里穿了大衣，但是去面签的时候我脱掉了大衣，只穿了里面的毛衣，因为外面的大衣让我看起来像个商人。

Category C: Do you have enough money to support your study and living?
You might be asked about sch olarships, your income, your parents’ income, your parents’ jobs or your job status; in fact, they are just trying to find out if you are able to pay your study and living in US. But you have to remember:
It is NOT the scholarship that makes you choose that university. The reason you choose that university have to be VERY VERY SPECIFIC and very REASONABLELY related to your future career plan in China!
The trap behind: you don’t seem have enough financial support for your study or living. The financial certificates you present are either looking fake or unreasonable.
怀疑某个文件的真伪是签证官惯用的伎俩，他会观察你的神态和举止来判断一份重要文件的真伪，当他怀疑你时不要慌张，要为自己辩护，无论如何要让他知道这份文件是真的。

所有文件最好带原件。

我的一份很重要的资金文件不识原件，是公证书，签证官在上面作了文章，他先是问我要原件，我没法拿出来，他问我为什么没有，我先说可能是公证处拿走了，但是他马上反驳了我，他知道公证处没全拿走那个文件的原本，后来我只说我爸妈没给我（千万别编造任何故事来告诉他们为什么没有原件，他们为政府工作，更了解工作流程，很容易就拆穿谎言。

）。

他又说公证书是很容易作假的，他在怀疑真伪，而我的回答很简单，如果公证书上的印鉴都可以造假，那么制造一份原件就会更简单。

The real question behind: Will you able to pay the tuition and other fees while you stay in US?
The trick to answer: be confident to say that you have enough money to support yourself, it can be either from your savings or from your parents. Seek any chance to speak out very specifically or show the documents (bank statement from you or your parents. A letter from your parents stating that you would like to pay for your study) to visa officer. The documents have to show a proper and reasonable amount.
✓Why does the university give you financial aid?
✧Please be notified that: never never try to make a story to tell that you know why the school gives you scholarship. Especially for graduate student, the scholarship is a long story from department to admission office. You would have never known.
So, the correct answer is: I Don’t Know.
一、关于资金问题的阐述
无论是全自费的还是半奖的。

只要你还需要自己准备资金，那么就无法避免签证官问及的资金问题。

因此，只要签证官提出任何与资金相关的问题。

你所要回答的只有两个方面：
1 我有足够的财力来支持我的学习
2 这将是一种非常值得的投资
二、回国计划部分的阐述
关于回国计划的阐述从内容上可分成3个逻辑层次。

1 主观愿望
表述你要回国做什么职业。

2 客观市场
紧接着主体句—即主观愿望之后，就要阐述实现主观愿望的客观环境。

即国内的市场前景以及这个专业的应用前景。

在表述客户市场的同时，可以对比美国的客观环境做出评价。

用以推论主观愿望的合理性。

不过这一点要注意不要冗长，如果你准备的回国计划听起来像是一个演说或者干脆就是一片国情咨文，那么就把它撕掉吧，因为当你流利的背诵这些东西的时候签证官会粗鲁的打断你，这不仅是打断你的一片演说，更重要的，它打破了你的心理稳定。

3 收入回报
签证官的判断标准其实就是生活状态。

那么表达在国内也会有很好生活状态也是我申请者最实用的标准。

那么判断生活状态的就是在中国的收入和回国。

在这个层次上又可分为职位、地位、和收入三个实际指标。

切记，你所说的一切都要建立在“中国”这个背景下，千万不能是美国！

以上内容英文部分由网友整理
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 下面就是最有名的签证１０８问了，我做过删减，因为１０８问里有很多重复．签证时我被问到的问题，用暗红色标出．
Q: Are you a student now?
A: I have just graduated from *** School.
Q: How many universities have you applied?How many of them accepted you？
A: I’ve applied for six universities in all.They are Boston University, Iowa State University, North Carolina State University, Ohio University, Brigham Young University and University of the Pacific. I was admitted into four of them, Boston University, Iowa State University, Ohio University and University of the Pacific.
Q: Have you any scholarship?
A: Yes. I am offered scholarship of 10,000 USD.
Q: How long will you study in USA?
A: 3 years I think.
Tips: 不要把这个时间说的太长，说的短一些，这样会使他相信你是一个用功的好学生。

不要过短。

Q: What is your major? In what aspect of your major will you study?
A: My major is business management; I think I will study it in the aspect of business development,that is hot in CHINA
Q: How much do you expect you will have to spend each year in the United States? A: The tuition and fee is about XXX USD and the living expenses is about XXX USD.
I am offered scholarship of XXX USD, so the total costs is about XXX USD for one year.
Q: Who will be your sponsor?
A: My parents will support my study in the United States.
And they think it is a wise investment and it is not a burden for my family. 这句话很好用，需要时记得用.

A: 这个也是各家有各家的情况.
Q: Why do you choose this University?
Ａ: Anything you know about your university, they don’t care, but please remember these words: After I finish my study, I’ll go back to China to be a ……
Ｑ：Why do you like your major?
Ａ：Still anything you wanna say abt your major, they don’t know why you like it, so just don’t take too much exaggeration. As always, say: The major will/is very hot in China, I think when I come back to China, I can get a good job.
匡起来的这个这个问题我没有被问到，但是我觉得签证官问这个问题的可能性极大，而这个问题貌似很好解决，但是真正处理起来并不容易，你的回答不能太过“官方”，也就是说不能像是一篇介绍中国经济的演说，但是你要让他相信你一定会回中国。

对付这个问题时纯粹的“中国发展论”是不够的，最好加上自己的父母，说自己是家里的独生子女，父母又不会说英语，读完大学以后要回国照顾他们。

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 上面这些问题比较主要，下面是１０８问里的一些其他问题，被问到的可能性不大．因为很多是涉及研究生，也就是说硕士课程的，与我们修学士的F-1签证关系不大。

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 以上的问题来自网络上的108问，我在签证的时候遇到了一些问题，并没有出现在以上问题中，根据回忆，有以下内容。

Q1: Have you taken the Chinese GAOKAO? How much you got?
A: Yes, actually I took it and I got a not bad score of 540 or more, I can’t remember it clearly.
Tips: 事实上我的分数要比我告诉他的分数高很多，但是我并没有告诉他我的真实分数，因为我不想让他认为我是一个有很好的成绩，能够在中国读一个很好的大学但是偏偏要去美国凑热闹的学生，越是这样的人越容易被怀疑有移民的倾向。

Q2: Did you get any admission to any Chinese university? What is it?
A: Yes, I got the admission to the DUFE, that is a good university.
Q3:\well, why didn’t you go there?
A: I didn’t go there because there are three levels of students in that school, most of them are from very rich families and they never pay any attention to their study, they just waste their parents’money, I don’t wanna study with those guys. What is more, I don’t like the major.
Tips: 事实上，我在东财的专业和去美国的专业是一样的，但是你可以编造一个超级郁闷的专业，然后说那个专业自己不感兴趣，而自己感兴趣的专业是一个在中国很热门的专业，而你在美国的学校所要学习的正是这个专业。

聪明一点，不一定要说自己喜欢的专业是中国热门的，你可以换一个角度，说在中国的大学所要学习的那个郁闷的专业在中国并不热门，毕业以后也很难找到一个满意的工作。

Q4: Do you have any brother or sister?
A: No, I am the only child in my family, so I must take care of my parents when they are old. Tips: 这个问题谁都会说NO, 但是能想到后半句的不多，在每一个问题中不刻意得流露出自己要回国这个愿望，要比在他问到是否要回国这个问题时向他强调无数遍更加有用。

Q5: Ok,the last question, after graduation from your school, I mean when you finish your study, what will you do in US?
A: Actually, I think I will come back to China instead of staying in the US, I think I can have a job in Shanghai of Shenzhen, maybe for 3 or 4 years, then if I got enough money, I will open up my own business.
Tips: 注意红字部分，the last question是很有麻醉性的一句话，他会使你紧绷了整个签证过程的的神经瞬间松弛下来，不过别放松，这个问题最有挑战性。

In US, 这是整个签证过程中最大的圈套，要是不慎没有听到这个细节，而直接回答：have a job, 那么恭喜你，你中头彩了，你十有八九会被拒签。

记住，只有你要去的大学是世界名校，你才能与签证官嚣张，否则，就要小心。

如果你要上哈佛，你可以明确地告诉他，我认为美国需要我，我想留下（有关名校的事宜是个人见解）。

还有一点，这个问题根本不是最后一个。

Q6: What will you do in China, what kind of job?
A: I will work in a company.
Q7: I know it is a company, but which department? What do you like?
A: In Marketing Dept. I think I will work on business development.
Tips: 他一定会问到想做什么样的工作，很简单，在之前的提问中你可以透露出来你的专业，然后这个时候就直接告诉他这个专业，别以为签证官忘了，他记着呢，而且，有关你的专业的问题会在面签刚刚开始的时候提出，一定要保证前后一致。

在我签证的时候，他开始就问了我为什么不选择东财，我告诉他我不喜欢东财给我的专业，而我在DBU可以学的专业是我喜欢的，是Business management, business development方向的。

而在面谈的结尾，他问我
想在什么部门工作，做什么样的工作，我就回答要在市场部工作，做BD
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 签证过程中签证官会刻意刁难签证申请人，例如怀疑材料的真伪（在上面我的案例中，很明显他在找茬，不要急躁，更不能不回答，因为不回答就是默认。

要努力的为自己辩护。

）、粗鲁的打断申请人，面对这种情况万不可慌张，要努力为自己辩护，不让签证官有机可乘。

记住，你的每一点漏洞都有可能成为签证官拒签的借口和理由。

他在问及我的career plan的时候我如此回答: You know, China is developing very fast……
这时他粗暴的打断我：Stop, I didn’t ask a speech, just tell me your career plan, not anything abt Chinese economy.
我回答：Well, I will come back to China, work in Shanghai or Shenzhen.
注意，有关毕业以后工作的问题签证官在结尾时又问了一遍，他问的方式不同，但是我的回答是相同的。

问到为什么选择某所学校的时候最好不要回答的太过具体，要保证你所说的回答听起来像是从网上搜集来的信息，最好避开“这所学校的老师很好”（That is salty!）这个答案，因为有的签证官会要求签证申请人说出一个好老师的名字。

Tips: 如果不慎说出了“老师优秀”这个答案，又恰好被签证官要求说出一个名字，不要犹豫，编造一个，他们80%不会知道。

不过这种情况还是尽量避开，因为撒了这个谎以后就要在紧张的情况下自圆其说，很困难，切记！
不要像签证官炫耀自己能够流利的使用英语，就像开头说过的，他们的目的是通过问题套出一个人的移民倾向和资金状况，如果英语讲的太过流利会被怀疑，增大拒签的可能。

签证并不是一个简单的活计，在整个签证的过程中要精神集中，每一个问题都是一个陷阱，要准确快速的识别出陷阱的所在，并加以应对。

这个过程要沉着，万不可慌张！可以仔细的思考，不要急于作答。

说实话，签证真的是考验智商的东西。

接下来要注意的是不要与签证官发生任何的不愉快，他们有办法记仇。

他掌握着你的未来，千万不能儿戏。

据我所知，在一位签证官找尽借口拒了一个人之后，那个人十分生气以至于用力敲打柜台的玻璃窗，并谩骂签证官。

后果是他被内卫以武力强行带出，并遭到了“黑戳”处理，也就是说，在他有生之年，将不得踏上美国领土，除非得到特赦。

做好准备，美国领事馆里的中方工作人员大多态度恶劣（内部保安——不是武警，接受表格的工作人员），并显示出一幅狐假虎威的走狗气势，不要与他们发生不愉快，第一，你没有办法，第二，他们会影响你的心情，人在心情差的时候会失去耐心，面对难缠的签证官有可能失控，第三，如果真地把他们惹急了，他们也是有权把你逐出领馆，甚至他们也有权给你盖黑戳。

所以签证也是考验人的耐力的活计。

这是一份根据我个人的签证经历总结出的资料，完全是个人见解，仍需指教修正，望使
用者取其精华，去其糟粕。

祝你一切顺利！

重要的补充：
我的一个朋友前几天被拒了，他材料准备的在很多人看来是天衣无缝，但当我一一看过他的材料之后我发现了问题：他的存款拿的太多了，180万，而且家里还有一个公司，可以说是摇钱树。

很多人迷信钱越多就越好签，其实非也，钱太多了就说明你在美国能生活的很好了，直接就能证明你毕业了会留在那。

你的签证类型是“非移民签证”——签证官的任务就是看出来你的移民倾向借以拒签之。

还有一点原因就是如果你有180余万，还有一个可以被称为摇钱树的企业，你为什么还要来美国一个不怎么好的大学？凭你的经济实力，在中国走个后门上名校都不成问题了。

千万不要以为签证官不还意思这么问，他们脸大着呢，如果真的遇到这种问题，最简单的回答就是：我不想走后门，我也不想直接从我的父亲那里继承公司，我要通过我的能力证明我能行。

（I don’t wanna do that and I don’t wanna success from my father either, I just wanna get my life by my ability.）这个回答算是蛮有效地，不过这是紧急使用的东西，最好还是别给签证官这么提问的机会！
