Third, visa processing skills

Avoid occupational sensitivity

In the process of applying for studying abroad, you will know that some majors are sensitive to the US government, such as military industry, biochemistry and aviation. You should pay attention to avoid your professional sensitivity when applying for this kind of major in the interview. If you submit a major, you should emphasize that your major can be used for civilian purposes, highlight your advantages in returning to China, and don't emphasize its role in the military or biochemical fields.

Make clear your intention to go abroad

Talk about your professional time, don't just report your professional name, then make good use of it and introduce your professional terms in detail. Generally speaking, the visa officer is an art major, so I don't have a comprehensive understanding of the content and vocabulary of the professional theme. If you are willing to be professional and high-tech, it is easy for visa officers to completely understand your statement, and you will lose the basic judgment of international students on whether they have immigration tendency. Finally, they had to refuse to sign.

Therefore, when introducing your major, you must use simple and clear words to describe it, and talk more about the reasons and purposes of studying this major.

Show a positive attitude

Attitude towards studying abroad plays an important role in the process of applying for a visa to study abroad. As long as you answer questions passively, you cannot fully express yourself and convey the information to the visa officer.

The average rent is about 65,438+0,500 RMB per person per month. Food, shopping and other consumption are also equivalent to the level of second-and third-tier cities in China.
