签经一篇

曾经有人让我把签证的经历记录下来,发篇签经。但我一直认为签证这件事是那样的理所当然,又何谈经验呢?作为同一个星球的公民,我们为什么没有权利通过行走的方式来了解这片土地?也不知到底是我们自己用墙禁锢了自己,还是别人用墙阻隔了我们。话已至此,为了攒些rp,还是记录下那沉闷的早晨。

我住在三环的西南角,想去东北角的美国大使馆必须横跨北京走一个巨大的对脚。于是八月九日清晨我们4点多就起床了,爸妈和姐夫开车把我送到了清冷的使馆区。其实使馆区周围酒店还蛮多的,凯宾斯基,希尔顿都近在咫尺,据说最近还要建一个四季酒店,真是足够奢华!当然周围也有一些不错的商务快捷酒店,价格就很合理了。

我们到达大使馆前时,除了门口的武警还没有人来,以至于我都不知道该从什么地方排队,看看表才还不到6点,排在第一位开始等待。那个小武警告诉我从现在到签证结束得2个小时,听完我顿感无望,因为我连早饭也没吃……还没过10分钟,我一回头发现身后已排了不少人,学生居多,中老年也穿插其中。队伍旁边更是盛况空前,家长帮忙拿水的,拿早餐的,拿签证材料的……在我看来这和高考并无分别,当年高考考场外就是这些辛苦的家长。我不得不感叹:中国的孩子总是承载着无数希望。

6点半左右,武警查看了我们的护照后就让我们进去,本以为可以进入大厅瞻仰一下没想到进入铁栅栏以后是继续排队。看来我在世博的排队不是没有白练的,现在看看这些不过九牛一毛,况且我还排在队伍的当头,心中不断狂笑,哈哈哈。身边不断有工作人员进进出出,之后门开了,随身物品安监可带入,但手机和任何电子设备不能带进去,使馆工作人员会帮你储存并给你一张卡片。右转通过一个小回廊进入签证区大厅,整个建筑很高,四面悬空着一些有美国文化的浮雕,由于没带眼镜具体内容我也没看清,怎么印象中有个汉堡什么的……

言归正传,还是右转会进入一个狭长的通道,在这里需要交材料审核,包括passport, I-20, 大使馆的确认信DS156以及中信银行的收据。注意,这里有一个洗手间,但男洗手间只有一个位置,进去后外面人就无法进入了。我猜想女洗手间也是相似情况,只是我进去而已,所以不建议女生在这里用洗手间,排队根本排不上的。在等待审核材料的过程中,我看到后面有一个老太太,震惊中,我想她会说英语吗?一会将会遇到什么场面呢……但后面的所见所闻给了我另一个震撼。拿到审核完的材料记得检查是否齐全,然后原路返回来到刚才挂着浮雕的大厅,右边的几个窗口是按手印的,按完之后左边的窗口全部为面谈窗口。由于我的这批太早,此时还有一个清洁工在擦窗台什么的,过了一会里面出现了一个亚裔女性,示意我可以过去了,直接跑过去按手印,先左手四指,后右手四指,再左右手拇指,记得要使劲一些。然后就到左边的窗口前等待,里面依旧没有人,刚才擦右边窗口的清洁工现在又开始了左边的任务,看着她慢条斯理而我的肚子咕噜咕噜叫个不停,后来我干脆旁若无人地走神想事情去了,想着想着恍惚中感觉有人拍我,抬头一看对面窗口里已坐着一个年轻的VOmm冲我微笑,我走过去“morning”谁知听到一声超级绝对普听话的“你好”,而这个声音的根源不偏不倚正好我面前VOmm的嘴上,原来他们中文这么好啊。
VO:Why do you want to go to America?
Soros:Go to college and finish my undergraduate education.
VO:Which university will you goto?
Soros:Michigan state university.
VO:Wo~Tell me about it.
Soros:It’s a top research university in the US. According to US news and World Reports, many programs in MSU are ranked inTop 10.  The campus of MSU is not only the biggest, but also greenest in the whole world…
VO:What’s your major?
Soros:Statistics.
VO:Why did you want to apply this major?
Soros:I like math and good at it, so I applied a math-ralated major.
VO :o kay.You got pass and have a nice trip to the United States!
然后她给了我一张绿色的护照邮递卡片,我就镇定地走出来了(其实肚子很饿装作很镇定)。取走自己的手机来到使馆外面,看到排队的人更多了,并且其中渗透着各种发传单广告的,这种宣传方式太低端了,还是拉比投资定制一部电影来的快~

出门继续右转,进入一个小胡同,里面的小邮局就是办理自取和邮递护照的地方。来到这里等待邮局9点开门,一看表才7点45,期待着身后变成长龙……

注意:

1.签证各种资料都要准备齐全,并且分类明确,必交材料和选择性材料一定要分开,我带了一个透明文件袋很清楚。一定不要存在侥幸心理或者遗忘一些材料,否则等待你的就是拒签。(Ps:最后我的必交材料以外的东西一样没看,甚至连Admission Ticket都没看。)
2.要自信。
