预约在上午9:30，6:30起床把准备的问题过了一遍，塞了四个馒头两个鸡蛋（都说要多吃点） ，7:30出门外面在下雨8:15顺利到达梅陇镇，向底楼门卫出示护照，8楼门卫出示护照+156表，卸下皮带手表后过防盗门进入签证大厅，人不多，看样子大半是商务和探亲的。往里走的时候突然瞥见一美女盯着我看 ，刚想摆POSE就发现MM眼神的位置不对，想起皮带还在手上，赶忙找个角落装上，回头对MM报以春风般的微笑 。随便找了个位子坐下，5分钟后突然想起材料没交，不是说有人提醒的吗 ……赶快到1号窗口交了。今天人少秩序不错，保安大叔乐得清闲在一旁噶山糊。
我到的时候开着5个窗口，我在8号前坐下，这样可以看到3个VO的情况，8号是黄衬衫的中年男VO，头发不是很浓密；9号是GLASS GG，7号也是一GG，长相普通的说。重点观察9号VO，他今天好象专门签F1。GLASS今天心情不错，待人也非常亲切，我看到在他这里过了5个F1和1个J1，没有拒的 。其中一个F1 GG，首先对着VO一通“抑扬顿挫”的英语介绍，问了一两个问题后VO问他要resume，说了两便他楞是没懂，VO没法子用中文重读了“简历”他才反应过来，结果他还没带 ！VO用英语说你怎么连份简历也不准备呢？GG还一个劲的yes yes，VO则一个劲的摇头 。我仿佛听到丧钟的敲响，没想到VO敲了会电脑，对GG bla bla bla了一通，末了抛出了句，You passed, study hard in *** univ.! GG还没反应过来，VO又挥了挥绿条，还没反应，这时候连保安大叔都对GG喊你通过了，快收拾离开，GG才跳了起来对VO一个劲的THANK YOU THANK YOU，发音不是很标准，我听成了F*CK YOU F*CK YOU 。这时候我笃定了很多，觉得自己今天只要能到GLASS手里，十之八九能签出。
这时候10号窗口也开了，是哪个VO看不见，我也没在意，没想到第一个叫的就是我的号 ，我那个慌啊，走过去就想说GOOD MORNING SIR，没想到是个金发绿衫LADY，马上调整心情报以灿烂的微笑，先核对姓名再采指纹，然后就进入问答了：
VO: So, you are going to study MPA, why you choose this program?
Me: MPA is highly promising in China, especially after 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and 2010 Shanghai EXPO. With several years working experience in the similar field, I find myself irresistibly drawn to a career in Public Administration, I believe it's an investment to further my study in public administration and it will also give me rich and generous return in the future.
VO: (点头) So you're going to study at……
Me: (马上接话) **** Univ. It's a quite good school that strong in MPA program, it's research focus; experienced profs and competitive students are ideal to help me meet my precise goals. (还想说下去，被VO打断了)
VO: So what difference between MPA and MBA?
Me: (MBA美国较好找工作，VO属于明知故问，理解了这层含义也就好回答了)
MPA is a science in management and administration, to develop professional leadership in public administration, students need to deepen their knowledge and skills in non-profit governance, ……bla bla bla, but MBA…….bla bla bla.
VO: Ok, give me your admission letter and scholarship offer letter.
Me: 递给她
VO: Can you give me your financial certificate?
Me: 赶快把存款证明和存单拿出来. By the way, I made a financial list that clearly show my financial status, here it is.
VO: Thank you! 然后就一张张的看，看到我父亲有张花旗银行的证明时就问，how to prove *** is your father? 我没反应过来，她马上说，I mean your Hukouben. 我准备的是Household Register, 楞没明白她用中文说的户口本，于是她又重复了一边 HU KOU BEN! 外加肢体语言，这次终于明白了，立刻递给她。
VO: 又转战我的158表，so you are working in Shanghai ***** Company? What kind of this company?
Me: It's an e-commerce company, my duty was develop domestic clients in Internet-based business, and I have quitted this job last year.
VO: (很惊讶，赶忙看我的156) Oh, then what are you doing now?
Me: I'm studying at a language training school because I want to improve my English especially English in administration before go to the US.
VO: (点头) What will you do after finish your study?
Me: I will come back to China to develop my future career in a big international consulting company, such as Deloitte Global and PWC Global, these companies highly encourage MPA talents to work at there.
VO: (点头，一边在我I-20上签字一边说) When do you plan to go to the US?
Me: 脸上又一次绽放灿烂的微笑，August 27, because it will be a mandatory orientation in school.
VO: Well! 拿着绿条朝我晃晃 Have a nice trip to the US!
Me: Thank you very much! Have a nice weekend!
收拾了东西就P颠P颠 办EMS去了，出来雨也停了，看见外面的老外一人一个flying ，老中一人一个春风般的微笑 ，爽！
这就是我今天的签证经历，虽然VO问了很多，但只要准备充足，并且心中始终抱着学成归国报效党国的决心，相信每一位签友都能由内而外的焕发出自信，占领美国也只是时间问题。

liuxue86.com签证小常识:
签证的有效期：签证的有效期，是指从签证签发之日起到以后的一段时间内准许持有者入境的时间期限，超过这一期限，该签证就是无效签证。一般国家发给3个月有效的入境签证，也有的国家发给1个月有效的入境签证。有的国家对签证有效期限制很严，如德国只按申请日期发放签证。过境签证的有效期一般都比较短。
