今天去给一个即将回国的外教饯行，在他家碰到了他的一个朋友Geogetown大学外交学院的
一个prof和这个prof的一个学生（他要在我们学校作一个短暂的training，然后到美国驻
华使馆工作）。席间，我理所当然的问到了关于签证的问题，实录如下：
M：我
P：教授
D:学生
M: What do you teach in Georgetown?
P: Like your professors, I tell guys how to be diplomats.
M:Really? So do you train VOs?
P: VO?
M: Diplomats who intervew visa applicants
P: Sure. We have such courses in our school.
M:I failed to obtain the F-1 visa for the first time. I even do not know why.
Could you give me some tips?
P: I am sorry to hear that. Why not be a diplomat in China instead of studying
in the US. I believe it will be more interesting than spending several years
on books again.
M:En... I want to be a researcher.
P: Tell me why?
M: High salary and social status?
P: Do you really believe a senior research fellow in Political Science can get
as much salary as a senior diplomat? Do you really believe a senior research
fellow in Political Science can get as high reputation as a senior diplomat? I
f US government let Ms Albright choose her career, she will absolutely choose
the Sectary of the State. If you Mr.Kissinger like being a researcher, he woul
d have returned to Harvard. Haha....Tell me why you want to the US?
M: Study of course.
P: I wanna know the real reason. Why study at the US instead of being a diplom
at in China?
M: En...
P: Have you think about it seriously?
Me:En....
P: Ok,please tell your mind.
M: Well, you see, if I come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now, I am at th
e bottom. I have no advantage. Every one at least have a bachelor degree. I do
not think I can be promoted quickly. So I must have some advantage. I must ha
ve a higher degree.
P: Why not pursue such a degree in China?
M: You see, my major is International Relations. To study in a foreign country
will widen my horizon and ....
P: Why the US?
M: US has the most advanced study in the field of IR.
P: So you want to have a higher degree in the US and back to China to be an ex
cellent diplomat?
M: Sure, I believe a PhD degree can make me promoted quickly.
P: So why don't you tell the VO this instead of being a researcher? Why you ch
eat them? Haha...
如梦初醒！！！！
M: But some VOs are not patient enough.
D: It is only because they sense the tricky.
M: How do they now?
D: We have got some courses of psychology and things like that. We can judge t
he applicant's intent from some simple questions, such as how many schools yo
u applied.
M: Really? How do you know the right answer?
D: Ha.. we have a handbook so during the interview, we can consult it, Haaaaaa

昨天贴出了谈话的实录，下面是下文，可能会比较混乱，但是还是希望给大家些帮助。
D: Let me correct you. Do not call them VO. Call them CO, consular officials.
M: fine. Could you tell me the relations between the number of schools one app
lied for and his intent on immigrating?
D: Not only the number but the schools themselves aslo matters.
M:Could you explain it for me?
D: It is very simple. Almost all the students' reason to study in the US is A
merica's advanced technology and research.facilities. If so, they should apply
for the schools above the standards of China's domestic ones.
M: But how do COs know which school is above the standard, which is below?
D: It depends on COs' perception and experience.
M: Then if a student wants to go to an ordinary school, it is very difficult f
or him to obtain visa?
D: Not exactly. He should persuade the COs that this school is better in a cer
tain field. It is his responsibilty to correct COs wrong perception. If he did
not, it is not COs' fault.
中途被打断，外教介绍他同学送给他的一幅画（估计是那个人找他写推荐信时送他的，一
看就知道是拙劣的赝品，外教还喜滋滋的）然后外教开始侃他的旅行。我也不好再问。只
好聊些无聊的话题。但是穿插着有些有用的东西。
老教授提到中国学生费很大的力气去考GT却不知道很好得在visa interview的时候包装自
己，VO每天签那么多的人，多无聊啊，你必须设法吸引他，让他情愿给你谈话。
还说到他们学校今年收的外籍的faculty差不多被中国人占完了，看来以后他们只好到中国
教书了。
还提到了每个学校都有一个标志还是什么东西，那个单词我不知道，但是他告诉我Northw
estern的是wildcat（野猫？）
还提到了VO的轮换制度，只是提了一下，不是很仔细。
再想到什么再写吧：）

好文章。签证好头疼，很多不懂

确实给人很大启示，在此谢过lz
文中关于which school and standards的问题应该解决了很多人关于选校，排名差的疑虑
签友们所要做的就是persuade COs why you must go to US and how to explain to them你去美国读书的必要性
其他问题，比如回国计划，资金拉，都可以类推了，就像斑竹天使守护神一直跟我们强调的整体规划，设计的逻辑性，合理性
嗯，看了一些帖子，总算领悟了一点，6月签，还需要认真准备，祝自己1k顺利！
