今天拿到签证,终于有点要出国的感觉了,而且自从gt之后很久没写过长文了,这次决定写上这篇为申请画上一个句号。也为想出国留学的师弟师妹们留点东西,希望有用吧(特别是偶们中大的ddmm们和偶们岭南的红灰儿女们!)
一早打车赶到63层,8点半有个很有气质的ssgg跑出来叫偶们进去,进去之后又是漫长的等待,等交材料,等交钱,等见vo,广州签证处的地形似乎和前人所描述的不同了。
注:1-3号窗:交材料,交钱
4-6号窗:1 vo/window
1,2,3号小黑屋:1 vo/room
进小黑屋的xdjm要小心了,偶寻思他们的process应该是这样的:收材料后有个vo分材料,问题大的就给小黑屋的vo,小的就放窗口的vo。当然窗口也有锯的,小黑屋也有过的。今天的形势是:偶前面一个广外gg去birmingham读law,msc,窗口,vo问了一个问题就过了,还有个mm过的也很快,两个gg过去先读语言再读本科的,窗口,看样子可能拒了,一个gg进了小黑屋,差不多20分钟后才出来,也过了,看他笑的。最惨的是一个小mm,可能也是读本科吧,被拒得哭了……不过,偶看到签硕博的基本上都没有拒的!所以大家可以放心了!还有一个菲律宾的mm,偶和她聊了一会,终于亲耳听到了比较典型的菲律宾式e文,咔咔,原来她申请的visitor签证,公司公派去UK的,真的好pp啊,偶总算明白原来黑也可以黑的那么pp!可惜当时Eddie仔实在太紧张,人生第一次visa啊,居然连问她叫啥都忘了。
偶交材料的时候还有一小插曲,那个mm,不pp,但是特串,硬是不肯收偶的checking list,偶分特,结果到了交钱的时候换了一ppmm,偶马上抡起流利的鸟语,比mm不咸不淡的要正统不少,“唔该你可唔可以帮我将呢张checking list交埋上去比vo呢,我唸咁样可能佢会方便少少”,“其实这不是必要的,不过如果你坚持,我帮你交上去也一样”,pp的讲话就是不同,嘻嘻。
闲话少说,“Eddie仔请到5号窗”,偶马上紧张兮兮的冲了上去,窗口是站着签的,一个35岁左右典型的英国阿姨,非常和蔼的跟偶微笑,可偶发现翻译连人影都不见,所以偶觉得他们是看成绩的,如果托福高就不配翻译(偶当时考的6xx+5.0)
上来就e文,没有选择:
vo: good morning (smile)
me: good morning, madam (smile)
vo: what will you do in the uk?
Me: to study for my master’s degree (偶就知道她第一句10有89问这个,西西)
Vo: what major?
Me: financial economics
Vo: what’s your qualifications in china?
Me: I got double bachelor’s degrees in my 4-year-study.
vo抬头看了一下偶,好象很开心的说:u r the second one with double degree today.
Me: oh really? Hehe
Vo: yes,低下头继续看材料
Me继续:My first degree is bachelor of economics in finance, and my second degree is bachelor of science in computer science.
Vo: Gosh…. When did you graduate?
Me: about 3 weeks ago.
Vo: congratulations!
Me: thank you!
Vo: who will pay for your study?
Me: my parents.
Vo: your parents’ income?
Me: my father xxxx, my mom xxxxx.
然后问了一个令偶很分特的问题,偶可是gg哦。。。。
Vo: will you marry next year?
Me: what? married? (偶大笑)
Vo: you seem very surprised? (vo也笑了)
Me: of course surprised! I wont marry so soon. I am young! I am still young! Hehe
Vo: //smile
Vo: what will you do after you graduate?
Me: come back to china and get a good job in a financial institution.(早有准备,咔咔)
Vo: pls collect your documents.
Me: I got the visa?
Vo: yes, you got your visa. Pls come at 2:30 pm to get your passport. And wish you successful in the future.
Me: Thank you! Have a nice day!
Vo: xxxxxxxxxxxxx(偶已经懒的听她讲什么啦,哈哈)
别看似乎很长的对话,其实也就1分多钟的时间!没问偶资金问题(偶是一笔过的,不过比较久,差不多3年),甚至连课程问题也没问(偶已经把course
outline带在身边,打算随时递上去,ft!)可能广州的vo比较nice吧,看下午拿签证的态势偶觉着签过率应该有70-80%!还有,偶下午拿到visa的时候还大大ft了一把,偶9月才开学,no pre-sessional course.可vo给的居然是即时生效:07/18/03—02/28/05!!!!也就是一年的master给了足足1年又7个月!!!!哇靠,这不明摆着引诱偶留在英国找工作嘛。偶爸爸和gf更令偶ft:居然异口同声说那英国阿姨看上偶了!
最后还是俗一把:谢谢爸爸妈妈,谢谢gf,谢谢所有帮助过偶的人,紫霞的xdjm们(飞鱼mm, ylgirl,波西……..),ge里偶的boss,同事们(这个internship对偶的帮助实在太大了!),还有岭院的师兄师姐们!
