中國學(xué)生簽證申請人的數(shù)量在增加
v Throughout China, the number of student visa applications is on the rise. In summer 2005, the Shanghai Consulate General interviewed 20% more students than during summer 2004. We also have seen large increases in student groups going for summer camps and short-term educational exchanges.
學(xué)生簽證的申請量在整個中國都在增加。2005年夏天，上?？傤I(lǐng)館受理的學(xué)生簽證面談比2004年同期增長了20%。同時今年學(xué)生赴美夏令營和短期項目交流的人數(shù)也在大幅增長。

大多數(shù)的申請人都獲得了簽證。今年夏天學(xué)生簽證的獲簽率大約是百分之八十七。
Student Visas are a Priority
學(xué)生簽證優(yōu)先
v Growth in visa applications means that during peak seasons there can be a wait of several weeks to get an appointment for a visa interview in many classes (including B1/B2 business travelers). However, we give priority to student applicants.
盡管申請量的增加意味著在高峰期簽證面談的等候時間需要花費幾個星期(包括商務(wù)簽證申請人)，但學(xué)生簽證的申請人依然享有優(yōu)先。
v F, M, and J (students, vocational students, and exchange visitors) visa applicants do not have to wait several weeks for visa interviews. Even in our busiest seasons, students can generally make an appointment for an interview in just a day or two.
F、M和J類(學(xué)生、職業(yè)技能類學(xué)生和交流學(xué)者)申請人不必為簽證面談而等待幾周。即使是在我們工作最忙的時間，學(xué)生們通常只需提前一、兩天預(yù)約面談時間。
About the Visa Interview
關(guān)于簽證面談
v There are three main factors Visa Officers consider for student visa applicants:
簽證官對學(xué)生簽證申請人有三個主要的考慮因素：
o Are you a legitimate student?
你是一個合格的學(xué)生嗎?
o Do you intend to return to China after graduation?
畢業(yè)之后你打算回國嗎？
o Can you pay for your education?
你能支付自己的教育費用嗎?
Factors Visa Officers Consider
簽證官考慮的因素
v Are you a legitimate student?
你是一個合格的學(xué)生嗎?
o Bring all your acceptance letters, SEVIS receipt, and financial aid documents.
帶好你的入學(xué)通知書，SEVIS收據(jù)和資金證明。
o Do you have a clear plan of study?
你有明確的學(xué)習(xí)計劃嗎？
o Why did you choose your advisor and program?
為什么選擇你的導(dǎo)師和課程？
v Do you intend to return to China after graduation?
畢業(yè)之后你打算回國嗎？
o Students should be able to discuss what they want to study and what they will do with their degrees. Rehearsed speeches are not credible.
仔細考慮你會如何使用你的學(xué)位，不用事先準備。
o If you plan to spend a lot of your family’s money for your education, then explain how it would be possible for you to earn back that money in China. Keep in mind Visa Officers are very aware of local income levels.
如果你將花費許多的家庭存款去求學(xué)，那么你需要解釋將來你如何在中國掙回這么多的錢。請記?。汉炞C官了解當?shù)氐氖杖肭闆r。
v Can you pay for your education?
你能支付自己的教育費用嗎?
o If parents are paying for your tuition, you need to show that your parents have stable jobs and a history of income.
如果你的父母支付你的學(xué)費,你需要證明你的父母有長期穩(wěn)定的工作并且一直有著相當高的收入。
o Large amounts of recently deposited money do not help your case. Bank records and tax documents should show a history of at least several years of earnings and savings.
近期的巨額存款對你的申請沒有任何幫助。銀行紀錄和稅單應(yīng)說明最近幾年的收入和存款明細。
Validity of Student Visas
學(xué)生簽證有效期
Beginning in June 2005, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China began issuing 1 year, multiple-entry visas to Chinese students (F, M and J visas classes). Previously, the maximum validity for these purposes was six months, two entries.
自2005年6月起，美國駐華使領(lǐng)館開始給中國學(xué)生(F、M和J類的簽證類別)簽發(fā)一年多次入境的簽證。而此之前，最長的有效期為六個月二次入境。
About Financial Aid
關(guān)于資金證明
Students with full, partial, or no financial aid are all eligible for visas, as long as they are able to prove their ability to pay for their education and they overcome the assumption of immigrant intent.
學(xué)生只要能證明他們有能力支付學(xué)費并能說服假想的移民傾向，無論全獎、部分獎學(xué)金或自費都能獲得簽證。
About Special Clearances
關(guān)于特殊審核
v Some student applicants require a special “check” in Washington. Clearances for those who require them are a priority and are handled very efficiently. For most student cases, we receive responses from Washington within three weeks.
有些學(xué)生簽證申請人需要在華盛頓做一個特殊的調(diào)查。那些需要做背景調(diào)查的人享有優(yōu)先并且他們的申請會被盡快處理。對于大部分的學(xué)生申請，我們通常在三周內(nèi)受到華盛頓的答復(fù)。
v Students can speed the process by bringing a detailed resume, including publications, their research plan, and information on their advisor in the U.S. with them to the interview.
學(xué)生可以在面談時帶好足夠的資料已加快處理速度，例如：詳細的個人簡歷，發(fā)表過的論文列表，研究計劃和在美導(dǎo)師的信息。
v As of February 11, 2005, the validity of these clearances has been extended. If a student is subject to a check today, that check will normally be valid for the length of the academic program.
自2005年2月11日起，審核的有效期已經(jīng)被延長了。如果一個學(xué)生今天結(jié)束調(diào)查，那么調(diào)查的結(jié)果將在他贈個赴美學(xué)習(xí)期間有效。
About “Top-Ranked” Universities
關(guān)于大學(xué)排名
v Many students are overly concerned about university rankings. University rankings are compiled by private institutions, not by the U.S. government. University rankings do not have an impact on the visa process. 許多學(xué)生過分地考慮大學(xué)的排名。大學(xué)排名是由私立機構(gòu)編制的，而非美國政府。同時大學(xué)的排名也不會影響簽證申請。
v Visa officers understand that there are more than four thousand US colleges, universities, and community colleges in the U.S. Different schools will be appropriate for different students. Attendance at a lesser-known college or university is not a ground of ineligibility, and applicants cannot be refused a visa for that reason.
簽證官知道在美國有四千多所大學(xué)、學(xué)院和社區(qū)學(xué)院。不同的學(xué)校適合不同的學(xué)生。去那些不太知名學(xué)校的學(xué)生不會因此而受影響并以此作為拒簽理由。
Making an Appointment for an Interview
關(guān)于預(yù)約面談時間
v Apply early, the U.S. Consulate recommends student applicants appointments two months in advance of their program start date.
盡早申請，美國領(lǐng)事館建議每位學(xué)生簽證申請人在開學(xué)前兩個月預(yù)約簽證面談。
v Visas CAN be issued more than 30 days before the program start date. The student may not, however, enter the U.S. until 30 days or less before their program start date.
簽證能早于開學(xué)前30天簽發(fā)。但學(xué)生只能在開學(xué)前30天或少于30天入境美國。
v To make an appointment, please call our Visa Center at 400-8872-333.預(yù)約簽證面談，請撥打簽證中心電話至400-8872-333。
