我们严格按照一些前辈介绍的方案行事:预约9点签证,6点起床,6:50到梅隆镇门口,向保安出示156表进一楼大厅排队。前面大约30人。7:30开始放人进入8楼的电梯。电梯门打开,再次排队—排队进入美领馆。进门安检之后被工作人员要求首先填好快递单,然后第三次排队—在1号窗前排队递交申请材料,领到面谈号码。然后是坐等漂亮的中秘叫自己的面谈号码。叫到号,领回申请材料,第四次排队—排小队按指纹。见头一个窗口里一位和善的,貌似传说中的水车大叔的大叔正向他招手示意过去,于是赶紧过去递上材料。(若不是时间赶得巧,前面恰好没有人,这里应该还要排一个队。)(姑且叫他Uncle Shui, 简称“US”吧)谈话就开始了: US to F1: So you are going to xxx. What program is it? F1: xxx US: Is it the same as xxx (another program)? F1: No, this one is more academic-oriented. US: But it is still a xxx year program? F1: Yes. US to F1 and F2: So what is it like to work for xxx together? (大叔看材料挺仔细,看出F1和F2现在在一个单位) F1: It is actually nice. We go to work together, go home together… F2: And work overtime together. US: (smiling) I understand that…. US: when did you know each other? F1: xxx. US to F1: What would you do after you graduate from xxx? F1: xxx US: So you will not go back to work for xxx? F1: xxx US: Do you have your special area? What is you specialty in your area? F1: xxx US to F2: So what would you do in xxx, as a high-power xxx, I do not suppose you will just stay home F2: xxx US: (start writing on the forms) don’t you also want to take the time to get a masters degree? F2: No. Actually, I would prefer to take a break… US: (still writing on the forms) yeah, why not. US: (still writing on the forms) is your specialty also xxx? F2: No, I am xxx. US: (finish writing) enjoy you stay at xxx 绿条飞出。下楼到对面中信银行里的小邮局,排此行的最后一个队—排队交快递签证的费用和单据。幸福的小队呀。
