签证经历

Interviewed on Nov.7, the vo just wanna check me.

First question: oh, you are studying chemistry, is your research related to genetic, protrein, blabla.

I said no and explained my research. Then he said he needed to ask someone else.

Then he returned and said" sorry, I have to check you"

DC cleared my case on Nov. 30, but I still did not get any email from shanghai consulate.

It is very easy, just took 2 min. Did not ask any documents.

Got checked. My wife calls the DOS everyday since 12/4. Everytime the answer is the same: pending. Anybody around 11/13 got their check cleared?

This morning(Dec.6, 2006) I went to the US embassy in Beijing to apply for H-1B visa. But things were not going as well as I wished. The below is the conversation with the Visa Officer (VO). Not exactly:
Me: How are you doing today?
VO: Good. How are you?
Me: Good.
VO: So you are working in the US.
Me: Yes. I work for xxx
VO: Can you tell me what you do there?

My dad is checked this time. He also be check last time. He got the email to info him that the case has been cleared.

Checked by VO, don't know how long it takes. Very frustrated!

我有两个master,5张I20,所以开始把签证官绕糊涂了。仔细看了学位证书和成绩单，解释了一会就过了。
就看了156，157，成绩单，学位证。似乎没有看公司的证明信，也没有看工资单。

我爸妈同姑姑一同去签, 爸妈来过多次,姑姑第一次, 没有问爸妈问题, 问姑姑和我爸的关系,她孩子的情况,看了我给签证官的信解释我为什么要邀请姑姑及一些照片.

就问了三个问题， 女儿女婿啥时候去的美国？ 你有几个 孩子？ 在美国呆多久？
然后 就通过了

My mom's visa.

Had previously visited US twice, never extend the stay for more than 6 months. This time got the 1 year multiple entry visa. She said there were only 2 simple questions during the interview, and in the end, the officer told her never to extend her stay for more than 6 months.
