1. Cover letter
2. Walk-in applicant checklist
3. Passport
4. Cashier's order for S$170
5. Confirmation Page for SEVIS fee
6. Offer letter
7. SEVIS-compliant I-20 Form
8. Signed EVAF DS-156 with photo
9. Completed form DS-157
10. Completed form DS-158
11. Completed Student Questionnaire
12. Resume
13. Undergraduate/Graduate Degrees and Transcripts
14. Photocopy of GRE score report
15. Photocopy of TOEFL score report
下面就是去签证了,不过要办学生签证,还要先在网上交个什么SEVIS FEE,100美元,好心疼自己的钱包,不停的被剥削,连个打折的余地都没有。这个SEVIS FEE在网上用信用卡交了就好,170新币的申请费去银行弄个什么Cashier's Order,DBS的手续费是5块,如美国使馆网页所说,在新加坡签证有三种方式,通过旅行社,邮寄或者自己去。我选择了自己去,省钱省时间。早上八点四十多到了美国使馆,外面排着一小队人,旁边一个人不停的喊签证的过去排队,美国公民直接进来,不知道去中国驻外使馆会不会也有这种优越感。第一个门检查了DS-156表格和银行开的申请费cashier's order,之后安全检查,包是可以带进去的,只要没有什么手机啊和不该带的东西,否则就要存在那里。然后走一个长廊,第二个安检什么也没管,这样就进了签证大厅,赶紧去了一个Queue Number,然后需要注意自己去签证的要先到Counter 2去交表和cashier's order,交过才能面试,之前就是你的Queue Number到了也别理会。东西交了之后就坐着等吧,人家要输入数据。整了下衣服,对着铁皮一看笑起来还是挺和蔼挺有信心的嘛。 等的时候就看了看形式,看上去签证的人都很顺利,没见到什么情绪激动的人,就是有几个印度人带着小孩去,小孩哇哇叫。非移民签证开了好几个窗口,其中4号窗口离我坐的很近,是一个年轻男子,签的速度比较快,嘴还挺贫的,感觉比较随和,有个欧美口音的人在他手下签了F1,然后我就重点观察了他,他先给了一个印尼妇女旅游签证。这个女的是个家庭主妇,有两个孩子,老公挣钱,她的姐姐在加州,邀请她去玩玩,费用她姐姐和她老公出,印尼妇女的英语还挺好的,在新加坡好像也呆了一二十年了,很顺利就过了。当时我就感觉4号挺不错。接下来4号就面试了一个马来女孩的F1,她爸妈也去了,不知道是不是想办旅游签证过去帮孩子安顿下来,女孩好像是去Berkeley,不少问题都父母帮她一起回答,说了一会儿,年轻男子就说你这种情况一般是要在马来西亚办,不是在新加坡,女孩说不知道这个事,然后父母就去解释什么,后来又说了不少,可惜听不到了,最后也不知道结果如何。看看大厅里面人差不多满了,Queue Number也都过百了,左右一看,还是颇有一些签F1的,其中看到一个SMA的印度师弟,不知道什么签证,从7号窗口过了,不过他头歪着说话,嘴巴朝上,要是我肯定把他据了,看上去太傲慢了。 这个时候一个光头冲到4号窗口了,他是办F1的,不过英语说的不够流利,原来是一个越南人,要去什么City College of San Fransisco,似乎是在新加坡学语言,然后去美国读本科。先问他为什么去,他说认识一个人在那里,那哥们说那里好。听他这么一说就替他遗憾不会中文,不上中国的BBS。然后他说自己读完了回越南,他姐姐有一个工厂,他回去可以做manager。当时签证厅很安静,签证官说你不能证明strong ties,我不能给你签证,你说的都是越南,我这里没法证明,你应该去越南签证。光头说自己还要在新加坡上课,所以不好回越南。签证官说你可以再花170新币来签证,但是我估计你还是拿不到。光头反驳说,我认识一个人就拿到签证了,答曰,每个人的情况是不一样的。这么个反面教材就在签证官啪啪盖戳之后离开了。这让我紧张了一下,害怕自己也被踢回国内签,那钱就浪费了啊,开始祈祷自己别在4号签证,看看7号窗口是个老年男子,心想还是跟他混吧,他老走来走去,所以看的清楚,其他的3号窗口和8号窗口也是非移民签证,但距离太远,看不到人。6号窗口是移民签证,是一个亚裔女士。 等了差不多一个小时,轮到我了,4号窗口。4号就4号吧,我想PR应该是不一样的,不至于像那个越南孩子,再说我准备的多充分啊,信心一定要有。然后开始面试了:

总的感觉F1签证无非是几个经典的问题,为什么去那个学校,研究什么的,学完了之后干什么。对我来说,我拿的是全奖,我去过美国,我是PR,我的打算说的是回新加坡,这是能够顺利签证的原因吧。不在中国签就不要提太多中国,省得被拒让你回中国,谁能知道五年后的事情呢。希望后来者也都顺利吧。材料方面我觉得Cover letter起到了作用,签证官确实仔细看了。support letter没用上,不过身上揣着,信心多一些。另外语言应该挺重要的,说得不好的还是多准备一下吧。Coverl letter的写法除了一般的客套格式就是回答美国使馆网页上的四个问题,摘抄在后面,第四个面试的时候就看出来了,主要讲前三个。我就不公布原文了,因为人都很懒,喜欢在别人的基础上改,可是万一被看出来差不多我就帮人变成害人了,多谢理解。 All student visa applicants must demonstrate that they: * are entering the United States for a temporary stay only for the purpose of pursuing a full course of study at a recognized institution of learning; * have a residence outside the United States to which they intend to return fo llowing their studies; * have sufficient resources available to provide for the total cost of their e ducation; and * have sufficient command of the English language or will enroll in intensive English language courses in the United States. 不能免俗,还是要谢谢一些人。到今天要谢的人太多,凡是关心过我的都一起谢谢吧。特别谢谢妈妈吧,昨天就她记着是我农历生日了,我自己也紧张的忘了。

注:这是05年签证的实录,仅供参考,如有跟现在情况不一致的,请谅解!
