International students often encounter administrative review when applying for a US visa. How should pregnant mothers who go to America deal with it?

Recently, it can be said that it is bad news for the party going to the United States. Visa has been tightened, administrative review has increased, entry has been refused, and green card has been cancelled. After Trump took office, he has introduced a series of policies to crack down on illegal immigrants, with stricter visas and entry. With the tension between China and the United States, many international students have recently faced administrative review when applying for visas. What happened? Global Baby Bian Xiao will tell you in detail.

Visa applications are frequently subject to administrative review, and American consulates are becoming more and more "willful":

Recently, many international students who have returned to China to visit relatives and then applied for student visas or work visas to return to the United States have been frequently subjected to administrative review, and even business trips have been subject to administrative review for a period ranging from a few days to several months or even longer. Lawyers said that the sharp increase in administrative reconsideration was mainly due to the tension between China and the United States.

In the past, administrative review mostly focused on sensitive majors, first-time visa holders or the reputation of their companies, but now the administrative review is very "willful".

1, Mr. Li, a bioengineering student, applied for a work visa in Beijing in mid-February. At that time, the immigration officer only asked about the job content, received the materials and told him that he would have to wait three weeks to get the visa, but he didn't get it after waiting for a month. Send an email to the consulate and be told that administrative reconsideration is needed, which will take at least 4 to 5 weeks. Although he asked for leave from the company, he didn't know whether he could keep his job if he dragged on like this.

2. Mr. Qin, an economics major, was also subject to administrative review during his interview in Beijing in early February, and he got a visa more than a month later. He said that he left his resume, a copy of I-797 and his passport at the immigration office. He thought it would only take about two weeks, but he waited for more than a month. In the meantime, the company has been urging him to go back, and he will be fired in another month.

Teacher Chen, majoring in operational research, went to Shanghai to interview for a work visa on the 22nd. The immigration officer asked him many questions, such as what he does, what is his highest education, his previous work experience, past and present income, and school major. The immigration official finally said that he would get a visa in a week. At that time, he thought that the visa had been successfully obtained. As a result, he went home to check the status, but it was administrative reconsideration.

What's more, even official travel is often subject to administrative review.

4. A cadre of an organ in Hebei recently went to Beijing Embassy to sign an official tour. As a result, after the interview, he received three yellow forms and thought he had passed. As a result, they were told to take administrative reconsideration and let them stay put. He can only call the travel agency to cancel the trip.

The staff of the travel agency said that many guests have encountered the situation that their visas were administratively reviewed and they could not leave the country on time. Even if their travel agency spent money to find a professional visa company, it didn't improve.

What measures should students studying in the United States take to face the visa administrative examination?

In this special period, students applying for American visas in the United States may also encounter administrative review, so how should they deal with it?

First, apply for an American visa in advance.

The administrative review of American visas ranges from one or two weeks to more than one month. In order not to affect pregnant mothers to give birth in the United States, Universal Baby Bian Xiao suggests that you apply for a visa in advance.

It usually takes about eight months to give birth in the United States, so you have to apply for a visa at the latest when you are pregnant for five or six months. It is best to apply during pregnancy, so that you have enough time to prepare materials and wait for possible administrative review.

Second, the interview materials and answers are fully prepared.

Administrative review is generally aimed at students who study chemistry and biopharmaceuticals; Applicants with military family background or retired soldiers and military school graduates; There are visas for Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, North Korea and other countries and records of going abroad; Engaged in aerospace, nuclear energy, thermophysics, mechanical engineering, radio, precision instruments and other work; Have a criminal record.

But at present, the scope of administrative review is wider. What we can do is to improve personal data, fully prepare interview materials, pay attention to skills and discretion when answering visa officer's questions, and minimize the possibility of administrative review.

Third, greet your family and colleagues in advance.

The content of administrative review is generally work and family situation. For example, the staff will call your company to ask if there is such a person and whether it is the position, or call your home to verify your personal situation. The administrative reconsideration may be before or after your face-to-face, so after filling out the DS 160 form, you should greet your colleagues and family members, answer questions seriously, and don't talk nonsense if you don't know.

There was a call from the American consulate to the applicant's home, and the nanny answered the call. The staff asked the applicant some personal information, but the nanny was busy with work and denied it casually, which eventually led to the employer's refusal. Do you think it is unfair?
