About the Visa Interview
关于签证面谈
v There are three main factors Visa Officers consider for student visa applicants:
签证官对学生签证申请人有三个主要的考虑因素：
o Are you a legitimate student?
你是一个合格的学生吗?
o Do you intend to return to China after graduation?
毕业之后你打算回国吗？
o Can you pay for your education?
你能支付自己的教育费用吗?
Factors Visa Officers Consider
签证官考虑的因素
v Are you a legitimate student?
你是一个合格的学生吗?
o Bring all your acceptance letters, SEVIS receipt, and financial aid documents.
带好你的入学通知书，SEVIS收据和资金证明。
o Do you have a clear plan of study?

o Why did you choose your advisor and program?
为什么选择你的导师和课程？
v Do you intend to return to China after graduation?
毕业之后你打算回国吗？
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.
仔细考虑你会如何使用你的学位，不用事先准备。
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.
如果你将花费许多的家庭存款去求学，那么你需要解释将来你如何在中国挣回这么多的钱。请记住：签证官了解当地的收入情况。
v Can you pay for your education?
你能支付自己的教育费用吗?
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学费,你需要证明你的父母有长期稳定的工作并且一直有着相当高的收入。
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.
近期的巨额存款对你的申请没有任何帮助。银行纪录和税单应说明最近几年的收入和存款明细。
Validity of Student Visas

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，美国驻华使领馆开始给中国学生(F、M和J类的签证类别)签发一年多次入境的签证。而此之前，最长的有效期为六个月二次入境。
About Financial Aid
关于资金证明
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.
学生只要能证明他们有能力支付学费并能说服假想的移民倾向，无论全奖、部分奖学金或自费都能获得签证。
About Special Clearances
关于特殊审核
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.
有些学生签证申请人需要在华盛顿做一个特殊的调查。那些需要做背景调查的人享有优先并且他们的申请会被尽快处理。对于大部分的学生申请，我们通常在三周内受到华盛顿的答复。
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.
学生可以在面谈时带好足够的资料已加快处理速度，例如：详细的个人简历，发表过的论文列表，研究计划和在美导师的信息。
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，审核的有效期已经被延长了。如果一个学生今天结束调查，那么调查的结果将在他赠个赴美学习期间有效。
About “Top-Ranked” Universities
关于大学排名
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. 许多学生过分地考虑大学的排名。大学排名是由私立机构编制的，而非美国政府。同时大学的排名也不会影响签证申请。
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.
签证官知道在美国有四千多所大学、学院和社区学院。不同的学校适合不同的学生。去那些不太知名学校的学生不会因此而受影响并以此作为拒签理由。
Making an Appointment for an Interview
关于预约面谈时间
v Apply early, the U.S. Consulate recommends student applicants appointments two months in advance of their program start date.
尽早申请，美国领事馆建议每位学生签证申请人在开学前两个月预约签证面谈。
