4.25 Beijing 1000 F1 PhD-Physics Check (5.4旅游归来就clear啦！使馆居然如此神速)
1169053
A. VISA Clear 过程（5.7 updated):
5.4得知visa已经clear了，是北京大使馆用email通知我的, 5.7收到EMS寄到的VISA。我把一些详细的check信息分享出来，说不定能给大家一个参考：
1.面签的时候，VO向我索要的材料只有study plan和CV，其他的都没被收走。
2.今天下午5点收到的VISA Approved 的email，
3.email的邮域名是state.gov，
4.email的内容如下：
"

5. 我的check时间不到两周（从4.25check到5.4clear），时间那么快应该跟较早申请签证有关。4月份面签的F1不是特别多，所以行政审核会快一些。

B. VISA面签过程:
今早（4.25）刚办完签证，汇报下签证情况，给其他正在准备签证的同学一点参考~
我约的是早上9：15的面签，差不多这个点儿到的（使馆的工作人员说这个预约时间不要紧的，迟点儿或早点儿来都行）。关于如何过安检，领牌排队之类的，我就不介绍了，GTER上写的很详细。
下面贴出自己的签经：
Me: Morning, Sir!
VO: (smile) You gonna to pursue a doctorate degree
Me: Yes, I will study in ##U
Vo: Oh, You are from ##U(VO说我本科学校)
Me: Yeah! I will get my B.S. degree in this July. （之间有点紧张）I'm a little nervous. I 'm a senior student now.
Vo: Do you have any relatives in US?
Me: No.
Vo: Do you have Study Plan or CV?
Me: Yeah. here you are, Sir
(之后，签证官没问我什么问题了，我也紧张得不知道说啥好，就沉默了。期间，VO一直在电脑面前看我的资料。大概有两三分钟吧)
Vo： You are approved. But you will get your passport after a month.
Me: Thank you! But do you mean I'm checked?
Vo: Yes,
Me: (Smile)
VO: Have a nice trip in US~
Me: Thank you
小结一下：
1.我本科是光电子专业，拿到PhD-Physics 全奖TA offer, 跟未来老板做无机PV方面的新能源，他是NREL的 research scientist。估计这个背景有点儿敏感，所以被check了。之前，看不少签经，理工科背景的容易check。所以，今早被check也在意料之中（当时还跟一北师的妹子开玩笑说我肯定要被check，果真如此啊）。不过，当时如果自己在解释一下，和VO形成良好的交流互动，估计可以水果。但当时紧张的话也说不出来，签证官又没问我背景，在这种尴尬的气氛下，我就只好沉默的接受这check了~~~~(>_<)~~~~
2.今早我们组一共有8个人——4个F1,4个旅游签证，截止我（我是7号）签完的时候，只有一个旅游的被拒，其他都过了。说实话都不算水，不过准备充分没啥大问题
