CMU写给国际学生的签证建议

对于访问学者和学生，CMU在2018年7月出了一份pdf文档，里面写了对国际学生签证的建议。

其中包含一个列表叫做Technology Alert Term，简称TAL。签证者可能提供了和TAL种的名词相关的信息，而收到比平时更长的审核时间。

TAL大类有：
 Conventional Munitions;
 Nuclear Technology, Physics, and Engineering;
 Rocket Systems and Unmanned Air Vehicle;
 Navigation, Avionics and Flight Control;
 Chemical, Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering;
 Remote Sensing, Imaging and Reconnaissance;
 Advanced Computer/Microelectronic Technology;
 Materials Technology;
 Information Security;
 Laser and Directed Energy Systems Technology;
 Sensors and Sensor Technology;
 Marine Technology; and
 Robotics Urban Planning.

其中还提到安全审查的意义在于 “to protect national security by preventing the export of "goods, technology, or sensitive information" through activities such as "graduate-level studies, teaching, conducting research, participating in exchange programs, receiving training or employment, or engaging in commercial transactions”, and to protect the US from visitors who may wish to cause harm.”

签证的时候，签证官会将学生信息与TAL比对，如果研究方向与TAL中方向相关，他们就会将签证申请交给华盛顿DC进行审核。当你觉得自己有可能被行政审查时，建议"you should be prepared to provide the Consular Official with as much information as possible regarding your academic or research endeavors in addition to required visa application materials and any other materials required
by the US embassy. "
