I didn't get a call from the American consulate. Can I go for an interview?

By the way, I will give you an interview experience-the experience of June 5438+February 2008 10 can really be written down to share my experience with you, and I can also provide some meaningful suggestions to those who go to the interview in the future. Interested people read the following text: Hehe @ @

At the beginning of June 5438+ 10, I knew that my husband was going to a city in the United States for training, and I also had the opportunity to go with him, so in the middle of June 5438+ 10, I went back to my hometown to apply for a passport, then prepared the materials, handed them over to a powerful foreign intermediary company for examination, and then made an appointment by phone. Finally, I was arranged to go to Shenyang for an interview in 65438+February 10. I could have interviewed in Shanghai, but I was afraid that I could not get by myself and my English was poor, so I simply spent more money to buy a plane ticket to go with my husband. Fortunately, on the first day, his company arranged for us to stay in a five-star hotel in Shenyang. The temperature difference between inside and outside is too large and dry, which leads to poor sleep and dizziness the day before the interview. Fortunately, it's close to the American Consulate, and the starting price of a taxi is 8 yuan.

The original text is as follows:

Get up at 6 o'clock in the morning and make an appointment at 8 o'clock. I have inquired about letting people in around 7: 50, so there is no need to arrive too early. I began to brush my teeth, wash my face, go downstairs to eat buffet, and then make up ... until 7: 30. I specially found a pair of black trousers and a shirt to wear on my body. Actually, I haven't worn a formal suit for more than n years. Because I heard that Americans always pay attention to appearance, especially on formal occasions. It was cold as soon as I got out of the hotel. It was 2 degrees when I arrived in Shenyang yesterday. It turned cold this morning, MINUS 10 degrees. I got into a taxi like crazy. It only took a few minutes to get there. At first glance, there are already people waiting in line, and we are behind more than 10. The aunt of the maintenance team is very kind and told me to button my clothes and let the older people line up in the house (intermediary company, where I can take pictures). I looked at my watch. It was 7: 40, and then a man was selling baked sweet potatoes. He stood 10 minutes, and I froze. I also stood in the house and asked my poor husband to help me line up. At this time, I carefully observed the crowd, mostly middle-aged people. There are fewer students, half of whom are tourists. Then I heard the aunt of the maintenance team say that the "killer" Koreans didn't come these two days and took a vacation! That is happiness! At present, there are only about people left in the face-to-face interview: Xiaohei, blond and white handsome. They are all easy-going people. Bless me! The road near the embassy is completely blocked, and it looks like a prison outside (my husband says there are high walls, so many people stand guard ...), so I won't describe the color of the national flag (suggest them: it can really be changed).

It's seven fifty. Nobody moved. Finally, at eight o'clock, the door opened. The man standing guard opposite said loudly, two, two. Others don't go in, fierce. Alas ~ ~ soon, the people in front are all family, and soon it will be my husband and me. I ran with him, and it was cold ~ ~ ~ I handed in my ID card and visa receipt at the first window, and a person sat inside and drew a check registration number. Then he asked me to go to the second window, hand in my passport and application form, and another person sat inside and drew a check registration number. Then you can finally go inside, it's warm! Then go through security. You can't leave your bag and other things outside. Basically, I looked at the airport. A gentle lady glanced at me and let me go. Then I followed the sign, one corner, another corner, another door and another security check. This time it was a man, and the process was as suspicious as before. Take everything out and sweep it. I'm a little slow this time. He scolded me. I'm so sad! At this time, the legendary handsome boy in white appeared, holding breakfast, probably coming to work. After another door, line up to hand in forms such as 156, 157. When I looked at it this time, it turned out to be the same as a bank, with a window and several rows opposite. The person who checks the checklist is a relatively fat Ms. Hua, with curly hair and fierce spirit. Anyone who doesn't fill it in will be scolded by her. But it will also help you change. . . Alas: (No problem, I'll give you the same number as the bank. I have a look, and I am 10. Then I went to the back and pressed my fingerprints. First four fingers of the left hand, then four fingers of the right hand, and finally two thumbs. While I was still pressing my fingerprints, someone started trying on the side. I'm anxious. At first glance, the interview is on the 7th. Shit, mine is coming, and you won't let me press my fingerprints. Sweat ~ ~ I can just observe the beautiful scenery of three windows when I stand, and the handsome white man is still taking his fingerprints. Xiaohe is in a bad mood today and has begun to refuse people. By the way, he put a huge banana on his desk. The blonde is very young, and there is an oversized cup of coffee on the counter. Maintaining everyone's order and translation outside is a very good little girl who just graduated from college. Today, Xiaohe is suspicious of a woman who is going to travel to America. She kept shaking her head for more than ten minutes and said he was Canadian. Why did he apply for this, what job, real estate license, deposit, go to the United States, and why did he live in China? Anyway, after more than ten minutes, I'm sorry, madam. You are welcome to apply, but you can't pass. . . On the other hand, blondes have too many questions about student visas, English pronunciation is too fast, and there are too many questions, such as your education, your major, and why you chose this study. If her English is not good, she will refuse. If a female student is interesting and her English is good, she will answer loudly. She is super fluent, like reciting a text, blonde and blue-eyed. One of them is louder than the other. In the end, everyone concluded that the pass rate was low, only about 30% passed. But I heard that Shanghai has a high pass rate. If it is a public school, it will generally pass. I finally pressed my handprint and sat in the empty seat opposite my husband. Take off your coat, it will be our turn in less than a minute. A little nervous ... rushing up, I thought everyone had a small room, but they stood outside the counter like a bank, and they were inside the counter. There is a glass in the middle.

It's a blonde

Kim: Good morning!

We: Good morning!

Kim: Can you speak English?

My husband: Yes! I panicked and thought that if she asked me English, I would speak Chinese, regardless.

Kim: How long have you worked in xx Company? (English)

My husband: No, maybe the blonde has a low voice. I asked in a low voice how long it would take to get to the company. . . I am in a hurry.

Kim looked up and saw that no one answered. She asked again.

My husband: One month!

Kim: Let me see your training schedule. (English)

My husband put it in, and his mouth was too small to put half a hand in it. Alas.

I'll get our marriage certificate and photos ready and wait for her to ask for these materials.

Kim just took a casual look and put it down.

Kim: Is this your wife? (English)

My husband said: Yes.

I added: Yes.

Kim: Is her degree a bachelor or a master? (English)

My husband: single.

Then I saw her stamp her feet, and then I knocked on her computer.

Jin Xiao, all right! Give us the rest and let's wait for another seven weeks.

That was quick. . . I always said yes!

Then we took the note from the post office to go through the mailing formalities. . . When I came out, I looked at my watch. It was not 9 o'clock.

I met his colleague and his wife outside. They are frozen stiff. . .

Only then did I know how lucky we were. My husband's colleagues have been asked more than n questions, and his wife has been asked more than n questions, and they have all been to the United States. Maybe the blonde is in a good mood today. Ha ha! My shirt is not worn for nothing. I can't see the pants, because I can only see the upper body. . . The main thing is that there is no white freezing!

Finally, let me figure out how much this yes is worth. The list is as follows:

Air ticket and passport stay in my hometown: 800 yuan.

Passport seems to be 200 yuan.

Passport photo: 30 yuan

Passport Speedpost: 25 yuan

Expected calling card: 50 yuan

Visa photo: 15 yuan.

Visa fee: 903 yuan

Tickets to Shenyang 1 180 yuan.

Return visa EMS:50 yuan (How expensive! )

The round-trip air ticket to the United States is expected to be 6000 yuan, and the preparation time is expected to be three months.

I spent the afternoon sorting out these things, and I don't know if you need them:) I also wish all the best to my friends who are also going abroad to go to the United States!
